Loving every second
By Laus Nordah
I bought the Ocean Kayak Zest Two Expedition a few weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE IT. I've taken my wife and two kids out on it with me (all at once) and it's comfortable. I've taken naps when I needed a break from fishing/paddling without any issues/scares (yeah, it might be dangerous, whatever). It's incredibly stable. I don't think it's intended to have you stand on it, but it's possible if you've got a good sense of balance. The Zest Two is a very stable kayak. It's a bit slow when near the max weight capacity with only one paddler.. or maybe I'm just too weak for now ;) I'm 6 feet tall and I'm using 240cm paddles, which are working wonderfully. Seems to be a good length.A couple things about the kayak that I think are important to know before purchase:It has 8 scupper holes: 4 Medium 4 Large. I recommend buying these if you don't want water coming in the kayak near the max weight limit.The seat backing on the Zest Two Exp is low so get something with a high back if you want more support. For me, if I lean back without a seat I can feel my lower back screaming at me.I highly recommend buying a couple good kayak seats.No in-yak storage came preconfigured from Amazon. You'll have to either mod the yak yourself or find a shop to do it for you. There are a lot of potential storage locations.Since there are so few reviews for this wonderful item, please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to answer them. I may update this review at a later date with more info/experiences.

Got the Zest Two for fishing off the coast of Santa Cruz, works great even in big surf and high winds. Fits a milk crate with pvc pole holders like a dream and alot of storage.

We had one of these that we bought used and loved it for 8 years. It finally cracked beyond repair so we bought one new. It has quite a few nice features that we did not have on the old one. Good drink holders and paddle holders.
