Thanks Travis! There are so many nice kayaks out there. This kayak seems to have very comfortable seat and nice to stand on but it may compromise the speed by initital looks of the design. I don't know...

I've see them and they are really nice boats. I believe they are more suitable for freshwater I dont see one of those doing well in open ocean and they are going to be slow, but hey who knows I wanna test paddle one eventually

The Predators are good boats, a solid mix of stability and performance - just what you'd expect from Ocean Kayak / Old Town. The two brands now share a design team.
If it wasn't for the high sides and deep cockpit, they would do great at La Jolla. When you take a wave over the nose, they fill with water. On the flip side, on flat water the high sides keep the cockpit nice and dry. The seat is excellent, maybe the best of all the 'beach chair' hi/lo style. |

I have not taken this boat for a spin yet, but my good buddy has one and loves it. I would say give one a try if you want comfort as the seat cant be beat.
