The seat has too much give even with the straps secured, and the seat ended up bending wherever my body wanted it versus properly restricting my back from leaning/curving back too much while paddling

Additionally because it is light weight it doesn't have as much momentum as a hard body kayak does, meaning you'll have to paddle most of the time in rough conditions

Don't waste your money-- get a hard body kayak

I switched over from a hard body sit on top to this

Going with a hard body instead

In a few years I will upgrade to a hard-body
