My pungo weighs 40 pounds, paddle fast, & is very stable & tracks very well..

After much research, I purchased this kayak on April 2018. It suits my every need-stable but easy to paddle and tracks well, room for my photography gear, removable deck, adjustable seat, easy foot peg adjustment. I chose a bright color so motorboaters could easily see me. The downside? The large installed hatch is not waterproof (they did not claim it would be). I spent a lot of time on the water this summer, and am very pleased with the way it handles and my older body can get easily in and out without rolling it (like my previous kayak). I ALMOST gave up kayaking! Glad I found this.

I use my Pungo 120 almost all year round in the Rockies. I got it because it’s big enough for dogs and also comfortable and stable. I did a lot of research before deciding this was the best kayak for me. I paddle mostly in lakes, channels, and occasionally a river. It would be very strange to hear of someone accidentally tipping this as it’s very sturdy. I used it for self rescue training (practice getting back in from the icy water) and it was easy to do. I’ve taken 30 different dogs in it after a quick dry land training session. There’s lots of space for cameras, kayak carts, snacks, and beverages and for dogs to sit or lay down for longer paddles. Definitely recommend for recreational paddlers who want to be comfortable and have their camera and snacks handy.

I’m brand-new to kayaking. Rented this a few times and finally decided to buy one because I like it that much. I’ve been very pleased – I’m 5’6”, 230lbs, and it fits me great. It has enough room to take along gear for 1-or 2-night trips and still be under the weight limit, though the lack of bow hatch means you need to trust your dry bags. It cuts through waves (I’ve been in waves high enough to spray over the deck) and aims true. Very stable. Love it!

Love the kayak, kids call it a rocket (compared to our tandem).

2 hacks
– The dashboard dry box gets very hot, phone will quickly overheat and shutdown, even on cool days. However, if you tape some aluminum foil to the lid everything stays cool.
– I bolted the “North Water Sea Kayak Under-Deck Bag” to the dashboard, a perfect fit under the dashboard – a great place to store a dry towel and extra water bottles.

Having owned my 2002 Pungo for 18 yrs my wife has dragged my kicking, scratching and screaming 70yr old butt into her new Pungo 120. Let me say it was like going from a Chevy Nova to a Cadilac. I can put my size 12 feet in straight up and not touch the deck and the new foot pegs or pads give my feet better purchase for powering through some situations. Knee pads save my boney knees from being rubbed by the cock pit rail. The comfort of the up graded seat is like sitting in my lounge chair, having a bad back and bad right wing, seat makes the paddling so much easier Rear hatch storage much better than the rear “pocket” and overall storage on my 2002. Still has that great tracking and stability I loved in the 2002.
Being I gave this review for over all comfort and performance I will give my only complaint which is why 4*. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CLASSIC DEFINITIVE KAYAK LINES? The new Pungo has more of a bullet profile where the ’02 screamed “KAYAK”. ’02 was solid brown, new Pungo will be Fossil Tan. Don’t care for wild and crazy color schemes. Performance and comfort do out weigh the boat profile I will admit. Paddler profile: 6’2″, 170 lbs, 70 yrs. ’02 was $359 in the bag, ’19-’20 $999 in the bag.
