No paddle is offered. Condition: Used but good. Everything works and the kayak still looks great! The seat is fully adjustable. Foot braces all work well.

Storage compartment lids are uncracked and seal properly. The hull bottom has some scratches as you would expect. See pics for an accurate representation. No serious damage and certainly nothing to affect hull integrity. The top sides are mostly unmarked and clean looking.

I have found this to be a great kayak. Stable and capable. Good for a full sized mature adult. I weigh about 83 kg, am 5'11 and am not as skinny as I used to be. The kayak can handle me and a range of gear.

Good lower back support with lots of adjustable settings. It handles waves well and is very good in the wind. Reviews are very positive. I have included links to a couple below. Note this item is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to withdraw the sale at any point.
