This is the old style white water racing kayak. I got it in 1988, there are scrapes on the bottom from river use but there are no holes. I used it this past summer at a local lake and has no problems. It has padded seat and hip pads to hold the kayak to your hips. The back of this kayak is designed to dip under water while turning to maneuver through racing gates. This boat recommended for experienced kayakers as it will flip easily. Local pickup only as this is about 13 feet long.
