Thanks for your review, very helpful. After you had a chance to use them, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on how they handle on the water? Are the seats comfortable and what is it like riding higher than a normal kayak? Thanks
I am so pleased with both of them! We had them out on the water yesterday and were saying how happy we were with the way they ride. I would compare it to sitting in an SUV instead of a sports car. I don’t think my back and bottom were as worn out after 4 hours on the water. The seat is more comfortable and the air cushioned back is adjustable. My legs could stretch and move around nice so that helps a lot. I also think you have a better view to look down into the water and see what’s around. Also, they are very easy to hop in and out of and when getting started paddling there was no awkward balancing and bottoming out trying to get started along the shoreline. Hope that describes it well. If you have anymore questions I’m glad to help!
Could you share the height from the base of the kayak to the top of the ledge for the front 2 feet of each kayak. I want to put my toddler in there and wanted to see if he can be up on his knees without danger of falling over
For a bigger guy as far as standing up to fish and paddle all day how would you describe the stability and balance compared to a wide traditional kayak ?
My husband uses the Lono. He is 6’2” about 225 lbs. He is comfortable sitting upright and being able to put his legs out in front of him while paddling. It’s more like sitting in a chair than sitting low with your legs out directly in front of you like a regular kayak. It gives you extra balance and doesn’t make your bottom and hips wear out as quickly. The kayak is very stable and you will be able to standup and balance easily allowing you to get a nice stretch or fish while standing up. Neither one of us have felt like the kayak would tip over even while getting in and out of it. you don’t have that back and forth rocking where you have to balance in a read idiot kayak. If you did tip over it would be easy to hop back on compared to a traditional kayak, that could be near impossible to get back into in deeper water, with the votes you could just pull yourself back on the backside of the kayak. Hope that helps!
Sabrina Salazar we purchased the LONO and DEUS just a couple of months ago, and we love both!! Yes they both have the foot bar and use it almost every time. Have used it without and but it’s nice to have.
Excellent question! We had the same question, and although we steered clear of objects at first. We quickly gained confidence with no worries, taking normal precautions as you would a “hard or ridged” standup paddle board or surf board. The construction and material are very similar as a military Zodiac (inflatable boat), and as of now.. No signs of wear, dings or tears!!! Hope this helps!
Thanks for the follow up and sharing how they are on the water. Happy to hear that you’re getting a lot of use out of them and enjoying them so much!
You guys finding the roll bags just aren’t good enough? Mine scraps big time when I pull it. About scrapped a hole in it the first time I used it.
I was wondering that too - the wheels seem to small

Very nice. What are the approximate dimensions of the storage bag with everything packed?

How long ago was the Lono purchased? It looks like the new version doesn't have a foot bar. Do you ever have to use it?

Have you had any issues with the Deus since purchasing it?
good for fishing ?
Will the Zep work as a SUP
Yess! I haven’t gotten the chance to try it but I have heard you can!
Seems like she wanted the pretty blue kula to match her deus

How are you liking it 1 year in?
@@agrant256 I love it, in the wind a little bit difficult.
@@darrenkiehn6165 thanks 😊
Thank you for the video. Very helpful
What do you think it would take to puncture one?
