About the reviewer I just got into kayaking July '06 with my purchase of the Loon 100 Test environment I bought the Loon 100 a few years ago and have gotten lots varied use out of it. First its supposed to be used as a lake/ lazy river boat. At least thats what the description of the boat is. Being my first kayak - i thought it was great in that respect. It tracks well, has a rear hatch and lots of room inside. About two weeks after i bought the kayak i started running down some whitewater. Obviously not endorsed by Old Town. I bought flotation bags one for the hatch, which has a tendency to fill with water through lots of rapids and one for the front of the kayak. It was tough finding a sprayskirt for such a large opening for a kayak (42" range roughly).
