From our own testing on the water, we find that its rectangular shape offers a lot of stability, but it's not very hard to paddle. It is quicker than expected using the pedal drive, but not as fast as a more torpedo-shaped kayak would be. Heavier than average riders may find the front end rising a bit, but that can be offset by simply putting some of your gear load up front. The drive is quiet in the water, and the splash shield will keep spray from the prop away from the rider.
