These are full sized kayaks for adults. Most listed are 10' and hold up to 250lbs. The "sit in" kayaks have adjustable foot rests that work for both kids and adults. We have four 10' kayaks and I can fully stretch my legs out. Never considered myself "petite" at 6'1". Smilie

Granted, these are beginner kayaks, but not just kids sizes. Just wanted to clarify

I bought 2 of the Bali 10 SS from Dick's this summer when they were on sale for $199. I used them once and then they were returned. The reviews are accurate. Not good at all. Seating is odd and you feel like you are sliding forward and have to constantly have pressure on the foot braces to sit up. Tracking on a smaller boat is always going to be less than ideal, but on these it was incredibly poor. The second you stop paddling the it starts turning. They just do not track at all. I think at $130 they would be ok for kids or something where maybe you had a small lake. Or if you had a cabin where you wanted some cheap water toys, but beyond that even at $130 they are just to frustrating to bother with

$150 shipping lol.

Edit: I was able to find 2 in stock at local stores, thank you!! Smilie YMMV but if you chat and tell them you weren't able to use the $20 off $100 coupon, they might honor it. They did for one of my orders.

Thanks OP! I was able to score three of the Sun Dolphins locally (seemed to have the best reviews of all four on clearance).

Tempting. Heck, you could start a kayak rental business with these.

Just trying to figure out what will happen if my wife discovers I bought a 7th kayak.

Good deal for kids or someone petite. Available for store pickup in many N Cal stores.

Thanks OP! Bought one Aruba and one Bali. Probably would've preferred both to be sit-in models but only one was available locally. Also thanks to the member for the paddle suggestion, picked up two of those as well since the kayaks don't come with them.

Or you could consider it a safety feature for kayaking on a high traffic lake.
