A great gift!! We have made countless memories with these sit-on-top kayaks. Perfect for beginners. We most do class 2 rapids, but we have done an handful of class 3 in these. I love that you aren’t strapped in and you can swim up if you tip. There is a handle to tie the kid boats to the back of the adult boats if you need to help them out! LTKfamily LTKfitness LTKGiftGuide
