wow.
That is scary.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad that person was OK.
It is sad, these cheap whatever brand you want kayaks produced in China are out there...
The worst is that the people are buying them, cheap price is too appealing. But it's jut not smart to get out there on the open ocean in something that is not designed or manufactured rigorously to make sure it stays afloat. I get these "Dear Sir we have these kayaks cheap let's sell 'em..." emails on a daily bases. Probably the same guys that write these spam bots to sell phones on forums.
Trusted brands are trusted brands, they take their product seriously and understand the importance of keeping us afloat. The popular brands have tons of hours on the water, they are tried. Crap still happens, but when it does - they recognize the problem, fix it, make it better.
