I like the idea of the "pod" system...that's cool...

The first time I looked at the picture of the kayaks, I thought they were floating on water, and I couldn't figure out why the side of the kayak was several inches above the surface.  It looked like a very unusual hull design.  After looking at the picture more closely, I realized that the kayaks were sitting on wet sand, not floating in the water.

I like the hull shape and how they are relatively lightweight. Definitely going in the right direction with a light(er) weight hull, that alone is a great selling point IMO.

They are rotomolded?

Wow. I REALLY like both the front and rear removable pods - that is awesome! I assume the 65lbs rating is without either pod (since they are optional). I also love the kid seat accessory. Very well thought out and impressive - all of it. I'd love to demo one.

I liked the design of that rudder system.  It looked heavy duty and the rudder would ride right over any logs or debris.
