Malibu x caliber?

Anyone know much about it? Is it the same hull design as the x factor? No reviews as of yet and wondering how little people fare paddling it. Ie my 5'5" wife.

We're in japan now and will be fishing and diving. I had to sell the PA due to shipping reasons. We thought about a tandem then remembered why they're called divorce boats.

The X Caliber replaces the Pro Explorer. I took one up to the Owens and found it to be the perfect kayak for that application. I though the Mini X would be ideal, but I seemed to have much better control and maneuverability. This is a high sided DRY ride with a lot of stability. The bottom is channeled and aids in it's tracking. I still need to paddle it more to give a thorough review, but it surpassed my expectations on the river. I have a couple here if anyone wants to come try one out.

  • Length: 12'6"
  • Width: 31"
  • Depth: 12"
  • Weight: 52 lbs
  • Max. Capacity: 350
