Pelican Argo 80X - Recreational Sit in Kayak - Lightweight Patented Ram-X™ Material - Stable - 8 ft

Just took er’ out on her maiden voyage - can’t say enough about this Kayak. I had a larger tandem for years, but my wife never wanted to go, so I downsized to this and just couldn’t be happier. First off, it’s unbelievably light, I can literally just carry it to the lake with ease. It’s got pretty good stability, I’d say it’s intermediate. But it also goes man! On Lake Michigan, the current and waves can be strong, but this sucker cuts like a knife. 100% worth every penny. NOTE: there’s two holes in the back. And no, you’re not “missing” any plugs when this delivers. Those are intentional and help drain runoff. They have no impact on seaworthiness. Enjoy.

I did a lot of research to find a kayak I could lift and carry by myself, as well as hoist into the back of my car without any help. It is only 36 pounds, and it handles great on the water. I wish the compartment in the front was a true deep storage area instead of a smallish round place to keep a few things, but it's really not a deal breaker for me. The main thing is to be able to get out on the water whenever I want to, without needing to find help lugging around a heavier boat. I have only had it out a few times, and I'm really happy with it. I was out on a windy, choppy day and it was wonderful, very comfortable, and tracks pretty straight. I know a heavier, longer craft would probably tack easier, but this is the kayak I needed for more opportunities for independent paddling on a moment's notice. sits well in the water, the foot pegs are molded into the sides, which may cause problems if they aren't at the right settings for you, but they just happen to be perfect for me to either have my knees up or legs straight. I can't wait to get out there again next week!

I replaced my old Kayak with this one. It is Super Light Weight, Glides Smoothly in the Water, Comfortable for Kayaking through the local canals and into the Bay, and an Excellent buy for the Price. I Love It!!!

Love my new kayak. Perfect for middle age woman who needs something light but sturdy. I use mine on the Sakonnet River in RI and handles quite well, even when the current picks up!

I like this kayak its lightweight and has quite a bit of storage space and room to sit I bought this and a sit on top in the winter because it's cheaper than the summer pelican makes nice kayaks if your needing a kayak this one is really good for the price 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

I read a few reviews that the kayak was not stable. I disagree, it is very stable. In fact, I crossed Folsom Lake in 15 mile an hour winds with wakes going over the bow and I felt very safe. Plan to check the weather next time as it really gave my arms a work out :-)

I have never owned a kayak before, but I love this one. I am an older individual and have had five back surgeries, this is fairly easy to get in, and I fell getting out, but that one’s on me. 😂 As far as the kayaking goes, I love it! It was a good value, with all of the accessories I paid around $400, I highly recommend it. Of course if you don’t like getting in water, don’t buy one. 😂😂😂😎

This kayak is light, easy to maneuver and really goes through the water. I was afraid it wouldn't be too comfortable, but the adjustable seat is very comfortable for long paddles. Really a great buy!Note: When I tried to place the order, it came back with an error that this kayak could not be delivered to my address. I started over about five times -- same deal. I called Amazon support and they hooked up my address for delivery.

Overall received in good condition, new. But I was somewhat disappointed that there was no paddle included. The description didn't say anything about there not being one. You would think paying over 500$ it would include the paddle. :(

I chose this Kayak for its lightness, stability and value for money. It feels very comfortable, maintains a straight course easily without foot pedals and is quite stable in ocean swells and speedboat wakes. I'm very pleased

Un peut deçus qu il n y avait pas de pagaie inclus, il n en parle pas vraiment.

Easy to carry and stable in the water.

I'm very pleased with this product as a recreational kayak. Its stable and easy to maneuver. Its not meant for speed but with a steady row you get a good movement. The seat and foot rests are comfortable. A great purchase for the lake I use it on.
