What William said makes allot of sense. I would try to find a few reviews of anglers that fish our waters. If you can't locate a positive one. There is a reason for it.

Those guys were in aquaterra yaks. I use to have one quick but tippy I have seen the manta ray before and seemed like a nice yak

Again with Chris? Haha it's Eric

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.
