My first kayak
Stands straight up in my storage unit. My first kayak but I crossed Amistad in it. I'm not the one to ask but it seems strong and durable. I am happy with my purchase can't wait for spring too use it more in south Texas.
Loon 106
Love it. Comfortable and just what I was looking for
Excellent boat! Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lovely boat, rides nice, comfortable seat and absolutely love the dashboard, highly recommend! Only negative I have is the cockpit is a bit small for me at 6'1 230lbs but it's still comfortable and I've heard from others the 120 model of this same kayak is better suited for taller individuals, I only got the 106 because of size contraints where it's stored for me.
Love this kayak
My wife and I each purchased one and love them! We recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy a day on the river.
Good kayak so far
Bought a little while ago, glad I got the 106, fits just right in my storage unit lol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Outstanding Performance. Should have bought one sooner.
The call of the Loon is hard to ignore.
The following is, I believe, a fairly detailed review of the new Old Town Loon 106. Hopefully it will answer some questions for those who have them. So.....I decided to spoil myself with a new boat. I knew I wanted a boat in the 10 foot range, which is what I’ve mostly been paddling for the last several years. For comparison, I’ve been paddling a 10 foot boat, which is an excellent boat in the mid-price range. It is pretty comfortable and tracks pretty well in a variety of conditions, and Is also pretty smooth to paddle. However, as I’m getting older and my back occasionally complains with longer paddles (over 2 hours), I was looking for an upgrade. My priorities included a very comfortable seat and boat, that tracked well and was quiet in the water, that with any luck would carry me to the end of my paddling days, hopefully many moons from now. After doing some research and testing a few models at a local paddle shop, I decided to go with the Old Town Loon 106. I had paddled the old style Loon in Maine in large, open ponds in Baxter State Park quite a few times during multiple trips there over the past ten plus years, and enjoyed it a great deal. The new Loon is a beauty. It had the most comfortable seat of those I tried (far more comfortable in some cases), and was nice to paddle (as well as you can tell in a small pond for trying out boats). Since my new Loon came in over a month ago, I’ve been out in it close to 20 hours in multiple locations in lakes and on creeks, from slow, calm water, to water with some chop, to water with 2 to 3 foot waves. It’s handled it all like a pro. The seat is incredibly comfortable and has lots of adjustments. Once you find a sweet spot for your back as I did, I don’t know that you’ll need to tweak it very often. I certainly haven’t so far. But the point is, if you’d like to, you can, and in a variety of ways, all while sitting in the seat. The boat is also very comfortable to be in in general. Foot braces are larger than my older boat, which feel great under foot. There is plenty of room for my long legs (I’m 6 feet tall) in a variety of leg positions. The boat cuts through the water very smoothly and quietly. It also tracks very well, better than any other boat in its size range that I’ve tried. I do notice the weight difference at 53 pounds, as my older boat is 42 pounds. It’s still easy enough for me to get up on the car rack myself. If you aren’t sure if it will be too heavy for you to do this, I would definitely recommend lifting it (or a boat within a pound of it either way) as if you were putting it up on your car, which I did after I demo’d it. At some point, as age keeps chasing me, I’ll have to alter how I get it on the rack, but that would be the same for a lighter boat, albeit a few years later perhaps. The boat came with a paddle clip, which I enjoy having more than I would have thought I would. The back hatch seals very well. It also come with a crazy cool console, with a dry storage space, water bottle holders, bike water bottle holder under the console, and even a phone charging cord built into it. It is easily removable, but I just keep it on as it helps shade more of my legs and is not even close to being in my way. Being sort of old school, I still carry my Nalgene bottle by my hip, and throw a small backpack behind the seat or in the hatch with my other items. That said, my favorite console feature thus far is the small bungee-type cord that is right at the front of the console. It holds my cell phone securely in place and is in easy reach for anything deemed worthy of a photo, and I slide one of the arms of my sunglasses behind it to keep them handy. Everything about this boat seems to scream, “Yo! Check me out!” in terms of its high quality strength and looks. I love it, and couldn’t recommend it more, and I’m certainly glad that I didn’t ignore the call of the Loon. Just make sure you can get it on/in your car :)
