Fabulous kayak at a great price. The S-16's advanced composite fibreglass hull led Paddling Magazine to describe it as "computer-engineered perfection". Speed, stability,, ample storage fore & aft, and it somehow weighs less than 40 pounds. Beautiful design and condition, very low 'mileage', and few scuff marks anywhere. Gem of a kayak with retail price over four thousand dollars offered at less than 1K.
