It's a good kayak for what it is. If you want to do lots of surf launching I'd look elsewhere. I have a Native Watercraft Manta 14 and I love it, but not for surf launching. The scupper holes are really small, so water clears the deck really slowly. And, there's very little inside storage. The hatches are tiny and the bow hatch would be a bitch to use on the water. So, if you don't plan on lots of surf launching and can get it for $300 or under it could be worth it.
