Only on a few outings, I bought this kayak for guiding aspirations that did not materialize. All original covers and seals in excellent shape. The online reviews and reputation for this kayak say it all. Email anytime ,or call between 4:00-8:00 PM 361-5837 If you see this posting this item is still available, no need to ask. Search “Coast&Kayak Magazine presents the Seaward Ascente” for a good video that highlights the kayak’s features. The AscentéX3, with its sleek lines and sporty appeal, is the perfect kayak to lead the group. Recessed hatches and deck fittings create the deck's smooth look while the low deck height, 6" low backrest and curved thigh supports provide paddling comfort and optimal bracing support while edging turns. This responsive boat tracks well with or without gear and quickly accelerates to a top cruising speed. Ideal for someone looking to develop their skills, the AscentéX3 handles gracefuly like the Quest but with less volume, rocker and length.
