We used it for our kids as a hand-me down from people who had used it for
their kids in the 9 to 12 age group. Eventually people get to big to fit but
it may last til 13 or 14 if she is that small.

We had no complaints about the boat. Needs floatation.

Ours has been in use between the various owners on week long ocean (west
Vancouver Island) camping trips for the last 7 years. No complaints. Handled
moderately rough weather well.

Kids have the HUGE advantage in kayaking of being small, and more stable for
that reason.
