I wanted a sit-on-top kayak for beach fun and for introducing newcomers to paddling. I wanted it small, light, and inexpensive. Performance requirements were modest, but reasonable directional stability was needed. By way of a shakedown cruise I've just taken this boat down the Menai Strait on a spring tide and it performed nicely. Not fast, but stable, manoeuvrable, and it was just about possible for me to load it onto the roof at the end of the trip. My previous sit-on-top needed two... (read more)

I have had one of these for a month now and must say it meets my needs, inshore kayaking/fishing and estuary/river paddling. Very stable and plenty of room. I have tried other sit-on-tops in the past and although this is not the fastest or the quickest to manoeuvre it is, in my opinion, well worth the money and loads of fun. (read more)

I went out with a friend of mine who has the Go Sea Vector... (read more)

I Purchased a Go Sea Vortex back in June and I have to say I have been very pleased with it, in fact I have been making any excuse to get on the water ever since! The kayak is light, easy to get on and off my car which is a big bonus for me as when I go to the beach with my wife and two small children there is lots to carry. Performance wise, it is good all round and I have been happy when paddling off the beach or up estuaries. The build quality is fantastic and I can see no discernible... (read more)

After just returning from my friends house in Cornwall and spending two weeks paddling the Go sea kayaks he owns a vortex and osprey, I am glad to be using my own this afternoon On the river, the go sea kayaks add basis to The time old saying " you get what you pay for". Rubbish styling,inferior handling, poor design, And fittings that are sub standard all make for A cheap kayak that isn't fun to use. The go sea Vortex had the logo peeling when it was new and A leak from somewhere, we found... (read more)

mmm.. sounds a bit like there is an axe to grind here. Not my experience at all!

There is a lifetime warranty on the hull, why didn't you take it back? A sticker falling off is hardly affecting its performance.
