The grab rope with built-in grommets is all around the kayak in case you hit rough waters. There's a removable fin on the bottom side for directional stability. The snug side walls prevent water from getting into the cockpit, keeping you dry. Recommended for riders at least 12 years old, this kayak can hold up to 350 pounds at a time. The Lite-Rapid X2 has 2 adjustable seats, carrying handles, and integrated drain valves.
