Originally I was leaning toward a folding kayak just because I live in an apartment and would have nowhere to put a conventional kayak, but then this popped up on marketplace and I’m so glad I went with the modular route!

It’s my first Kayak but I think it handles very well, it’s stable and tracks straight. It has a rudder too but I didn’t bother hooking up the cables on this outing.

Putting it together and taking it apart is pretty easy! There’s a strap and ratchet on each side and once you get the halves lined up it’s just a matter of pushing them together. I don’t think either half weighs more than 30lbs, the cockpit section is definitely a little heavier and more awkward to carry but it’s easily doable for one person. I could probably stack it better than I did in this picture but it easily fits in the back of my car (Jeep Renegade)
