5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for kids
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012

I own a bigger kayak for me, and after seeing my 6 year struggle to paddle that one; I bought the Lifetime Youth Wave kayak for her and she loves it. It also came with a more appropriate sized paddle and is perfect for her (now age 7). She is able to easily drag this one off the sand dune and into the water and launch it safely herself even in waves. It tracks well and is stable enough to be safe and tipsy enough to be fun. It can even float me (180 lbs) but sinks too low to be rowed safely for more than a few yards. The 130 lb rating is probably accurate, so a petite adult women might be fine with this. The shape of the stern allows kids to pull up onto the back or use it like a kick board. The price seems to move around frequently and varies with color so you might consider different colors (I saved money by getting the green one). It came packaged only in a plastic bag, but I don't really understand why this bothers other reviewers. The first thing you do with it is drag it over a rocky beach to launch it and then when you return from paddling you go fast as you can and run it up on the sand so you can step out on land. Yes, it is going to get scratched on the bottom, but it will be fine as it seems to be built to take it. One final note, I managed to lose the rubber plug in the bow drain hole after a few weeks of use (right next to the little T-handle). I don't know how or where and did not notice any change in performance. There was a little water inside the kayak after a day of use that I drained out by turning the kayak on end. Anyway I called Lifetime and they quickly took down my address and sent a replacement plug off to me; no charge and no questions asked; so I would think if you had a real issue they would be there for you. I think you really can't beat this product for the price and see myself probably buying another next summer for the other kid and cousins to use.

Our beat purchase for summer entertainment. Super durable ( my kids drag then to the car and they are still fine). My 6 year old has a little trouble because his arms just aren't long enough so we tie him behind our kayaks and pull him. The kids love how they can stand up and jump into the water and it's super easy for them to get back on. We bought 3. Not a single issue!

5.0 out of 5 stars These Kayaks are Awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2012
Color: GreenVerified Purchase
It started with one wave kayak as a gift from grandma. My son was having way too much fun, so we just had to buy another. Before we knew it the whole family had a wave kayak.

The wave kayaks are for you if you're into family fun, exercise and adventure. The 6-foot size is great for a child or an adult up to about 130 to 140 pounds. They are lightweight, portable, and easy to use (even for a 5 1/2 year old). We just love these kayaks and have found everyone we meet on the water loves them too - they have been popping up on the lake all summer long!

1.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced paper weight
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2022
Color: GreenVerified Purchase
I purchased three of these kayaks from different sellers. This one came with a crack in the back. I contacted the seller and they offered to refund if I paid shipping to send it back. Well I wanted to exchange it. I have 3 kids and needed 3 kayaks. So I looked up the price and the kayaks are now selling at almost twice the price I originally paid. And on top of that I would have to pay shipping to return this. So disappointed. The other 2 kayaks are amazing and my kids love them. This one just sinks when you put it in the water. Just very frustrating that someone would ship out a boat that doesn’t float🤦🏻‍♀️

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2020

For the price, this let's you get started without breaking the bank and find out if your kid is going to enjoy it or not. The unit is very stable on the water. It does have a bit of side to side pkay as you paddle, but at only 6 ft long, that is to be expected. Light enough for easy handling out of the water. After 10 minutes of trying it out, my daughter was totally adept at maneuvering on the water. I'm satisfied!

This is an awesome first kayak for kids. Easy to maneuver around. Weight limit is 130 pounds, but with two kids on there, they will definitely get wet. Will make for a fun summer!
