I've had mine for a while. Probably 15 or 20 real outings with it and cant complain. I also have a couple regular hard kayaks and can say the AE is more like paddeling a canoe, sort of. Tracks well, very stable, durable, lots of room. But if your expecting it to be a regular hard shell sea kayak, it's not that.
It do's take a bit of time or work to get it dry inside and out as the others have posted. I have hit some major sharp rocks with it expecting to find some holes or damage but havnt yet. Happy with the purchase!
