Bought this a month or so ago but, with the usual British summer weather, we've only just started using it.
It seems quite well made and is quite easy to inflate, although there are a number of different types of valves on the kayak. The ones on the seats and the splash covers don't have seals on the valves to stop the air coming out while your inflating them so you have to be very quick getting the cap onto the valve when they're fully inflated.
The extras we bought for this were the paddles and the Sevylor pump, which is very effective. We didn't buy the skeg which others recommend but found we didn't need it. I'm not experienced with a kayak but didn't have any problems controlling it so I wont bother purchasing the skeg.
It is quite heavy to carry, even with the rudimentary straps, but hopefully that means the material is a reasonable thickness.
I'm not sure I'd want to use this for two adults as it would be a tight squeeze, but for myself and one child it's a good size.
I'd certainly recommend this but, as I've said, I'm not a kayak expert so don't have anything to compare it against except cheaper plastic dinghies.

I'm experienced with a kayak, but bought this to give my four-year-old and seven-year-old a taste of canoeing. I was somewhat concerned about how it would handle, especially as some people said you must have the skeg to help it stay straight, but I was delighted to discover that wasn't necessary in the slightest, even using the boat on a strong tide and with a stiff breeze (good job really, since absolutely no-one seems to have any skegs in stock any more and don't seem to expect any until 2012!).
The Tahiti will turn on a sixpence but is quite happy to keep a straight line. I can see how beginners might have to practice that (my brother-in-law had a go and did struggle a bit), but with perseverance you'd soon get the hang of it.
It inflates incredibly quickly with the Sevylor hand pump. I was amazed how easy it was. Some people have said it was a long reach over the sides of the boat with the paddles but, to be honest, I didn't find that for an instant. There's plenty of clearance and you sit perfectly high up. I'm only just touching 5'7" and I was very comfortable.
I'm very enthusiastic about this product - its performance far exceeded my expectations, even using it on the sea in an estuary with a notoriously fast tide. It's equally good if you stick your seat in the middle position and go it alone.
It deflates quickly and rolls up in no time. The trickiest part of the whole procedure was figuring out how to fasten the straps round it. The instructions on this are poor, to say the least, but search YouTube because there are videos that demo it and it all becomes clear quickly. I thought the backpack idea was a bit of a gimmick, but it turned out to be invaluable to get the kayak to and from the car with all of the other paraphernalia and is perfectly comfortable for a ten or 15-minute stint.
We got the Sevylor split paddles which I used joined together. They were light, effective and comfortable to handle.
All-in-all, I'm delighted with this purchase. I was hugely surprised at how good the Tahiti is. As the boys get older we might just buy a second one for whole-family outings!

I bought this as my 10 year old daughter went kayaking at school and enjoyed it. This is a great kayak for she and I on the river. We're no experts and it probably wouldn't satisfy an enthusiast but is ideal for us. It inflates and deflates remarkably quickly with a Sevylor pump and tracks well with the extra skeet, which I would recommend - gives much more control. It's easy to carry using the backpack straps and has just enough room to store a bag too.

my wrong decision
I purchased this item thinking it would be a good addition to my business. Unfortunately I found them to be unstable in the water with two people on board. Read more

I would recommend it only with SKEG inside a gulf. It is difficult to use it without SKEG. I am not an experienced kayak user, so that might be the reason why i had some... Read more
