Abordable à toute les bourses, léger, assez compact lorsque plié. Mais quand on l’essai sur un lac, on tombe vraiment ravi de notre achat. Faut dire que la première fois quoi l’essai, faut être un peu indulgent mais rapidement après deux mise à l’eau c’est facile à plier et à déplier. Un seul bémol, la sangle pour le transport lâche facilement, j’y ai ajouter deux clips amovibles pour assurer une solidité. Lorsque assis dans le kayak, faut faire une boucle avec le bout de la sangle pur éviter le relâchement en cours d’utilisation. Je suis très satisfaite. Je ne l’ai pas essayer dans des rivières par contre.

F#*!ING awesome, easy to use flying across the bay.

I ordered my Tucktec in February and received it within a matter of days. I did find it difficult to initially put it together, however after leaving it assembled for a couple of days, the second go around was much easier. I strongly suggest you either use cycling or gardening gloves to assist with the assembly.

As previously mentioned I purchased the Tucktec in February, so I haven't been able to use it yet, but judging from the numerous Youtube videos, it seems like a very way to paddle around a calm lake or lazy river.

Great customer support. I totally recommend purchasing a Tucktec from Ottawa Valley Air Paddle.

This is an amazing kayak! It goes together quickly, it handles in the water nicely and comes apart easily. Light weight and easy to carry.

A bit of context: I've kayaked before this purchase, but not enough to go into finer details, so this review is going to be in layman's terms. PROS: It can fit in the backseat of my sedan, and I find that (compared to the folded format of the ORU kayaks), the cigar-shape means I can easily store this upright in a closet in my tiny apartment. The seat and footrests are easy to set up and easily adjustable (TIP I use a closed-foam cell sit mat by Nemo on top of the seat and have been very comfortable). The skeg helps prevent you turning as much in windy or wavy conditions. Just used it in pretty windy weather - no whitecaps but big waves nonetheless - and felt very secure. Very sturdy construction. DRAWBACKS: So far, after using it three times, I need another person to help assemble 1-2 of the side clasps. I'm simply not strong enough to do it myself so a friend tries to help force the fold so I can get the latch correctly placed (cooler weather doesn't help either). Due to it's width, you will accumulate a good amount of water in your kayak when paddling, even with rubber rings on the kayak and proper paddling technique. HOWEVER this might be rectified if I use a longer paddle (going to try that). It's not easy to carry alone once assembled - this means that unless you can assemble or disassemble right at the water's edge, you need a friend to help or you have to awkwardly drag it and potentially damage it. The handles on either end are not comfortable to hold by as it's just the edge of the rigid plastic. I find it odd that the main points of the bow and stern don't actually come to a closed point - the first fold is inward, and then you fold the outer edges together, which creates a sort of W fold - however the outer edges fan out a bit so that creates drag. On the ORU Beach LT, they have what they call "fairing" (a neoprene sleeves that fits over the bow and stern). I think the Tucktec could benefit from that. OVERALL: I wanted a kayak for leisurely paddling so I can go birding in marshes, and it fits the bill since I'm on a budget, and live in a tiny apartment and drive a sedan without a roof rack. I don't regret the purchase because it gets me in the water, though I can still wish for a few tweaks! If you don't have a lot of arm or wrist strength, maybe consider another model, or make sure (like me) you go with a friend!
