Side Paddle Keeper

A side paddle just broke away from the craft. This is less than 24 hours within my purchase. I didn’t even have a paddle in it. It was on my garage floor and I was reading about craft features etc… and it just snapped 🤷‍♂️

Great Quality! Great Fun!

I had never been on a kayak before, and I’m so glad this was my first experience. It’s sturdy!

Excellent Kayak For A Larger Person Or Someone With Gear

Purchased this for my son and couldn’t be happier with the stability! It’s hard to find personal water craft for a larger person, and this completely exceeded our expectations. Easy 2-person portage, and he feels totally comfortable.

This Kayak Spins :(

The seat backing broke on it after 2 uses, but I know lifetime well and know they fix this problem. The problem with this kayak is it will spin. The tracking is terrible and you spend more energy trying to keep it straight vs actually kayaking. I wish I didn’t waste the money on this one and gotten one with better reviews. I have another lifetime kayak and I wish I could replace this one with another one because that one works great. This one is a bad design sadly.

Great Features- New To Kayaking So I’m Not Sure What To Expect.

New to kayaking, I was surprised at how big this is. But love being out on the lake with this!

Nice Kayak.

Great Kayak- no drain plug included.

Tracking Performance

This is a poor tracking kayak… unless you put a lot of crap on the transom…. The minute you stop paddling it wants to start spinning..

Love The Weight And Stability Of This Little Blie Beauty!

This kayak is easy to maneuver. It's stable even though it's not wide. Its also easy to carry around due to it's light weight.

I Would Definitely Order These Again!

I purchased 5 of these kayaks for a rental property in the Poconos. BEST purchase! Customer Service (Alex) was super helpful in ordering me some backup parts b/c I have had a few groups not use the straps properly. Renters love them & my family love them as well. Easy enough for one person to lift them to get on the rack and to bring inside for winter storage. Going on season 2 with these.

Okay

I like this kayak but my wife's seat back strap buckle strap broke 1st time out. And both of our padded seats ripped off the anchor points. Dented from tie down on side from securing to kayak j rack I wish this had handles on the sides that are easy to grab. Also a cup holder is needed.

Stay Far Away

Stay away from the death machine kayak. Not worth your life

Love This Kayak

This kayak is well-loved — I've owned it for just about 8 years now — and it just a fun little kayak. Tracking straight takes some time to master, it will seem impossible at first, and even then, it is never great, but it is incredibly stable, you can stand up in it and fish, and easy to transport. It's built like a tank.

Good Price - Excellent Customer Service!

Bought two Spitfires because of size, weight and price. We kayak at lakes and this fits the need. I needed a part because I lost it in the lake. I contacted customer service and they took care of my needs promptly. Can't get no better than that.

Lifetime 9’ Spitfire Kayak

This is such a fun & versatile watercraft!! Both adults & older children can navigate easily on it! It’s light enough to easily carry and load. We’re so happy we got two of them. Also, customer service is par excellence! One kayak had a small seat clip missing at delivery. The Lifetime team send a replacement immediately.
