I've had one for a year now and have been very pleased with it.  Since I
began paddling a Feathercraft K1, the Storm has become the guest boat and
everyone that I've put in it has liked it (beginners and non-beginners alike).

It has a well designed and sturdy rudder with very easy to use rigging.
The hull is quite sleek, particularly for a molded boat, but still has the
volume for extended camping and tall paddlers (up to 6'3").  If you are not
a large person, you might want to look elsewhere as you will be bouncing
around inside the roomy cockpit.
