My eagerly awaited Cuda 12 in forest camo from KFS.......has arrived. The Cuda 14 report covers all the new mod 'bits fitted...so i'll keep it short. This has the "scotty" type fitment rocket launcher mod,looks a lot stronger, for better control and adjustment. Loads of bungees to hold your lure boxes,paddle,rods,tackle or cool box etc. A round hatch fitted into the center console,a great idea. A lot of thought gone into it,even a storage pouch under the seat The quality is brilliant........! Can't wait to give it a test on the water..... My cat did a quality inspection,from the bow hatch to the stern.. She didn't want to come out....yes its a full moon ! Look into my eyes...! Attachments:

First trip out today 24/11/13 on the Menai Straits........... Well impressed with the boat.......well impressed ! Did think the "deck chair", would become a "rocking chair" ! Not ! It was as solid as a rock and so comfy,i could have slept on it. So relaxing on your back and with the added lumbar support was an absolute pleasure to paddle...........3 miles there and 3 miles back + ! And a dry and warm behind ! Bliss ! ! ! From Menai upto Beaumaris,i met Graham (never met before) fishing the hole and i went to get us both a cup of coffee and a mars bar!!! This kayak is like being in your armchair at home...... Never stood up on a SOT for more than 5 seconds.. Could have stood up all day on this Cuda 12....so so stable. Only one regret............today ? Should have brought my rod !!! With this kayak you have to paddle it to the boats limitation,or you'll burn yourself out in no time. A nice steady paddle stroke will get you where you want to go... Okay,if you need to maneuver fast to bow into the wake of a power boat or cruiser.or a rough swell ? Then you can give it a short blast to come about............. Its not built for speed so don't waste your energy...... Save it for the journey home. A very surprisingly pleasant day paddling my new Cuda 12. Highly recommended............ ps i made sure the cat wasn't with me on the boat...

Love the photos of the cat in the kayak ;D
I was out on my Cuda 14 yesterday, those seats seem to keep you warmer compared to sat in a pool of water like some kayaks.

Yes,your absolutely right.... I didn't think it would have been as stable as it was ...! Jackson kayaks have got it so right with this......... I took some video clips trying to sort out how to put on here.....
