This kayak is in good condition, 4 years old. The Ascenté, with its sleek lines and sporty appeal, is the perfect kayak for all round paddling. Recessed hatches and deck fittings create the deck's smooth look while the low deck height, 6" low backrest and curved thigh supports provide paddling comfort and optimal bracing support while edging turns. This responsive boat tracks well with or without gear and quickly accelerates to a top cruising speed. Ideal for someone looking to develop their skills, the Ascenté handles gracefuly like the Quest but with less volume, rocker and length
