Coasto Lotus 10'10'' (330 cm) Kajak, kano

The model that was delivered was the 2021 version and not the 2022 version (as shown in the pictures). The 2021 version has the same dimensions, same quality, same accessories, a little bit darker blue colour (what I like :-)) but does not have the splash guard up front and the single water drain in the bottom. Nevertheless the drop stitch bottom/floor is covered with a rugidised antislip layer (what I like :-)) what is not present in the 2022 version. As a proud owner of a Gumotex Safari XL I can state that the quality of the Coasta Lotus is exceptionally good for its low price. I am very happy with this Coasta Lotus one-person kayak model 2021. As I have much experiance with different types of good quality inflatable kayaks (reinforced PVC, Duratex and Nitrilon) I would not recommend to inflate the kayak to the specified pressure. A few PSI lower still gives enough regidity for excellent use and will certainly prolong the kayaks life, especially when used on a hot sunny day. Overall assessment : Recommended +++++
