Customers say

Customers like the sturdiness, speed and ease of use of the kayak. They mention that it provides a rigid keel that helps it track well. They also appreciate the ease of packing and the fact that it's well worth the extra money. One downside is the alignment, with customers complaining that it can be difficult to get it all aligned perfectly.

Customers like the sturdiness of the kayak. They say it provides a rigid keel that improves speed on water, helps with the rigidity and tracking of the boat, and has more stability. It's also great for rigid floor support in an inflatable kayak, and the bottom doesn't sag anymore.

I like it. I got it when winter is approaching and the lake is getting colder and emptier.But I noticed the difference with and without the backbone in my AE kayak. Looking forward for spring to use it more often.
