Summary I recently purchased a NextGen 11 from Kayaks2Fish. I'm new to the kayak fishing experience, so this over-the-net, sight-unseen purchase was something of a risk. As it turned out, my worries were mostly unfounded and I'm very happy with my new kayak. What follows is a bit more detail on my experience to date, including the inevitable niggles. I hope you find this useful. Unboxing/First Impressions. Pickup. No issues. The guys at the warehouse were aware of the order and quickly loaded the kayak onto my trailer. Once home, unwrapping the 3 layers of protective wrap revealed a kayak with excellent quality, no dents or scratches from transit and a good level of finish. At this point it's worth noting that the kayak comes with no documentation whatsoever. As a newcomer to kayak fishing - and to this brand of kayak - I expected at least a downloadable .pdf to provide some information. Disappointing. By way of example, assembly and installation of the pedal drive required a google search, which thankfully delivered a K2F YouTube video explaining the process. At the very least, an email pointing me to this resource would have avoided some early panic! The kayak includes lots of tracks, eyelets, cleats etc, but again the lack of a manual describing the purpose of each fitting, hole, indentation etc. negatively affects the first impression. I'm sure the kayak and I will work out what’s-what as we go (but we really shouldn't have to). Moving the Beast. This is not a small item and storage and handling is something to be seriously considered. The NG11 can be lifted and carried by one person for a short distance, but for longer, safer transport for both the kayak and the user, then a kayak trolley is going to be a necessary accessory (but see note of caution below). On the Water. The kayak is surprisingly and happily stable, dry and easy to handle. Tracking perhaps isn't as straight as might be expected, but this is a minor irritation rather than 'a problem'. Speed of the pedal drive system is excellent for trolling (approx. 2-3kmh), effortless and sustainable indefinitely. 'Transit speed', i.e. when pedalling to/from a location, is a sustainable 5-6kmh and covers distance admirably. Paddling (rather than pedalling) is fine using the included paddle, although I admit my experience is limited to short periods of use when approaching/departing shallow water. Seat. Really good, keeps your backside out of any water and is nicely adjustable in terms of seat distance from the pedals and the angle of the seat back. K2F Support. Hmmm. A bit fifty-fifty. A couple of examples. My kayak came with a couple of items in the box that do not appear to have an obvious role. A messaging exchange with K2F (and supporting photo) yielded a promise to check and get back to me. Ultimately, this information was never forthcoming. As I mentioned, a trolley is going to be necessary to move the beast around. It's worth noting that K2F will sell you their (very popular) scupper hole trolley, but if you use it, you will void the warranty on the kayak! While no doubt perfectly legal, the ethics of selling you something that might have an adverse impact on the integrity of your new kayak AND your warranty isn’t ideal. - Steve B

Awesome kayak 3.7m pedal king basically untippable even in extreme conditions 100% happy with my purchase also brought a 50 pound trolling motor which is amazing the family loves and want there own will end up with a fleet - James Austin

The gentleman on the phone provided really good advice on the kayak suited to my needs. I ordered a nextgen 10 and have used it 3 times. Great storage and reasonably easy to transport due to being lightweight. Stability wise is ok, took a bit of use to balance and a bit of water in the yak but feel I am getting more confident every time I use it. Only minor negatives are - I'm 6.2 and the foot pedals for the rudder are too short for me and find myself cramping up after a long ride. Have found that the plastic material does tend to scratch and chip easily when getting onto the roof so not very hardy material. Also wouldnt feel confident standing up in it either. Generally though a really smooth ride and bang for your buck. - Byro L

Great web site. Great prices ( look out for the specials).Friendly helpful staff.As a retired IT Professional I was looking for something new to fill that gap in my free time when I found kayak2fish. https://www.kayaks2fish.comAs a keen fisherman this struck a cord with me and I started to research with a passion. The website has everything you need to get started as a yakker and the staff have been excellent. Getting involved on the face book groups is enjoyable and virtually meeting the great k2f community out there. I'm now a proud owner of a new Orca Triton Pro (plus accessories to fit) and am looking forward to getting out there and enjoying the lakes and bay in my new fishing boat with other like minded fishos. - Mark Phillips
