I love my yeller one! Big thanks to Andy and co. at the Sunset OEX and also to the good folks at Malibu for getting it to me in time for my spring break camping trip with the kids at Doheny State Beach.
I only took it out once but I launched it with me and my 5yr. old son from the beach and had no problems, surf wasn't big but the water was choppy last tuesday. I am a complete amateur when it comes to open water but I didn't have any problem getting us to the harbor and once there we played a little game of "I'm 'gonna tip you over" we both rocked the boat but never scared either of us so I would say stability is fine. I also ditto Andy on his observations of speed when cranking up the pace this yak just seems to just get faster the harder you paddlenot so with my Mini x! Love my X-13! Andy, where did you put your battery I stuck mine in the fish hold temporarily but obviously its not the place for it! Again thanks Andy I looooove this yak!
