August –
I recently purchased the Navarro 130 from airkayaks.com. This is my first kayak ever (inflatable or otherwise). So far I have taken it out once and it was a blast! The Kayak handles great, easy to turn and maneuver. It is super stable, so much so that I was able to stand up briefly in calm water. In choppy water the kayak retains its buoyancy. Setup and transport are super easy. I will return to this review in one year and provide an update.
