I have both a Plastic 165 for my girlfriend (ex now) and a Kevlar 170 Tempest. So far I can say they are the best two kayaks I've owned. They're also the only two kayaks I've owned so they could be my worst too I suppose. But nodisiregardlessly, I do love my Tempest 170 and have had it for 2 years. Very little ocean but many lakes including Tahoe and Pyramid, and a few rivers which I just came back from doing Black Canyon below Hoover where we encountered some pretty stiff winds. The 170 did great.
