Early days, as we have only just had our first opportunity to take our new kayak out for a paddle. A weekend at Hilton Denarau with a garden view (and nice view of the beach) was our chance. We inflated can carried our kayak down to the beach, approximately 50m with little effort, and slipped it into the water. My first paddle and it felt so much more enjoyable than hard plastic kayaks usually available at resorts. I was totally sold. The test though would be my partner. She loved it too, felt totally safe and as a smaller person had no issues handling and maneuvering. It was actually a surprise to see her so far in the distance as usually she would not be so adventurous. We will now be purchasing at least one more for my partner, and possibly more for when friends stay. I wish Advanced Elements kayaks had been around when growing up, life would have been filled with so much more adventure. Thank you Emily!
