Congrats on your new purchase. I purchased two kayaks from Mountain Sports last year for my son and myself and we have got a ton of enjoyment out of them.

I purchased the Daggar Blackwater 11.5 for me and the Perception Swifty 9.5 for my son, along with Yakima racks for my truck. I live on a small private lake, so I bought them to workout in and have a little fun. But, I enjoyed using them so much, I started hauling them around the state for different weekend getaways.

I have already used them for daytrips on 4 different lakes, along with river trips down the Brazos and Trinity. I’ve also taken them down some whitewater rides down the Guadalupe River and Mountain Fork (in Broken Bow, Oklahoma). I’ve also taken them out in the Gulf a couple of times around Aransas Pass. All in all, I’ve taken them out about 50-60 times in the past year.

I let my Dad borrow one and took him on a river trip and he loved it so much that he bought a Mainstream Patriot 12.0 that he has been using lately to go fishing in (He bought his from Bass Pro in Grapevine).

I hope you get the same enjoyment out of yours that I have got out of mine. Believe it or not, I’m thinking about buying a third one for my wife and daughter to use -- a sit-on-the top like you have bought (I might have to borrow it from time to time).

I can’t say enough good things about Mountain Sports in Arlington. I researched kayaks for 6 months before making my purchase, and they definitely steered me in the right direction.
