I cannot speak for this model but I have had their airvolution2 for a few years and love it. Hand pumping the dual chambers is a real chore but using an air compressor helps. The thing is rock solid once aired up. It has some battle knicks from Truckee River but it has held up well.

I have the two person version, purchased used. It's a great inflatable kayak. The two person is surprisingly fast when paddled solo. It'll handle waves up to about a foot without complaint. It does feel like an amusement park ride under those conditions! Good tracking and fairly maneuverable too. Buy their pump since it makes setup and takedown easy. I'd consider this if I didn't already have one.

Difference between this "sport" model and the model in the previous SD? https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/16991086

I've ordered camping gear from sunny sports before. No issues.

I bought this kayak a few months ago from confluence outdoor (advanced elements website) for 300 shipped.

It doesn't come with a pump or paddle, just the kayak, bag, and seat. The seat is ok, not great. It doesn't strap to the bottom, so it can shift around. I also sat on the back accidentally when boarding and it was tough fixing it without tipping into the water.

It blows up quickly but the valves for the cockpit (forget the correct term) are finicky. It takes maybe 2 pumps to fill up. By the time I remove my pump and twist the valve it feels like all the air has leaked out.

I've only used it twice so far, once on a lake and once on a creek outside a bay. It doesn't track straight very well. It's often pulling to one side, so I'll need to stop and correct things. It is small and portable enough to move pretty easily in the water.

It is light, under 30 pounds. There is storage area behind the seat, but grabbing things without tipping the boat is tricky.

Overall a better than average kayak for an inflatable, but still needs some improvement. It might be better with the drop stitch floor, but that is a ridiculous price at $160+.

I think that one has more accessories and is slightly better suited to handle choppy water. It is also slightly heavier.

We have the tandem version and it is a decent kayak. The biggest issue I find is that the surface is made from a water absorbing canvas like material. If you go saltwater kayak with it then it'll be covered by saltwater crystals after it's dried. And it doesn't dry easily so you'll have to hang dry it in the garage each time you use it.

So be prepared to wash and dry it each time you take it out.

Should add "inflatable" to the title.
