It's low and sleek. I also have the same kayak in single person and love it.
The couple I got this for don't use it so I am selling it off in time for summer fun!
Price drop to $160. last price, it's firm. this is a scorching deal on one of these that's water tight.
They were close to $1000 new.
Great, water tight shape (we used it last season several times). I got it without a paddle and WITHOUT SEATS.
The seller was 'going to' rebuild it and never did. Same here, was gunna... but no time. We also as a family more or less went all in on the SUP thing.
SO what I have done is gotten many (about 10) folding beach chairs and tried them out. I have two solid low profile seats without intrusive elbow / arm rests and I place them in the kayak. The kayak has this black plastic ridges all along the bottom, so the seat U legs just anchor themselves in those and work fine. Not pretty, slightly fiddly but it works.
You can also buy kayak seats and install those with the straps but I never got to that point.
I may have one lightweight kayak strap chair I could throw in but not sure if I still do and if can find it.
Thanks, and happy summer!
This boat is made of recycled materials. Guessing from mid 90s to later as that's about when Walden Paddlers started in the USA.
Dimensions: 14' long by 31.5" wide. It's very lightweight for it's size. Quite easy for single person to drag it across lawn for example. Easy for two people to load on a car roof. I bought this with my Honda Accord Coupe no less, and stuffed it in the trunk with about 7' sticking out the tail of the car. I think at least one party took photos on the way to the Cape.

The Walden Spirit Multiperson Kayak Spirit
Seven great reasons why the Walden Spirit is so good:
The Walden Spirit™ is designed for seating two adults and one child. Total capacity is 425 pounds!
The Walden Spirit's 14 foot hull and 85 inch long cockpit make it roomy enough for family and fishing.
Spirit's 64 pounds is the lightest weight in it's class.
The footbrace system is fixed with fully adjustable seats. The seats even reverse to face each other!
The hull gives great tracking and glide, plus that extra dose of stability for fishing and active families.
The colors are Green, Yellow, Red and Granite.
The Walden Spirit™ is made of repairable linear high density polyethylene from 100% recycled / recyclable materials in the major parts.
