Nice Kayak for the price point. I think this is a great kayak if you are new to the sport. It is light, paddles very easy, and is relatively comfortable. I find it to be very stable, even in big motorboat wakes or 2ft whitecaps. Mind you, I am 150lbs. I like how it comes with an anchor hold. My gripes are, no dry storage, no tie off cleats or handles, and a lack of floatation chambers or and foam. This boat will almost fully sink if tipped or if it takes on too much water. I would highly stress carrying a bailing hand pump, especially if you intend on travelling in cold water, choppy water or and larger water bodies.
All in all, with a few mods, accessories, and common sense, this is a great entry level kayak for playing around or fishing in relatively calm waters.
The Pelican Summit is a good beginner's kayak at a low price point. The hull is made of a two-piece Ram-X high impact plastic, so it handles the inevitable collisions with rocks with ease. The kayak features easily adjustable foot rests and a adjustable padded seat. It is quite comfortable. It also has very strong rope and plastic handles at either end which are also good for securing the kayak for vehicle travel. The Summit weighs in at 38lbs (17kg), so is one person transportable. The main problem that I found with the Summit is the lack of buoyancy chambers. The Summit will sink in wavy conditions, so it is definitely a smooth water craft. I filled the ends of the kayak with spray foam to add buoyancy, but the Summit is definitely not designed for more serious kayaking.

I also found that the Pelican Summit is fast, and will turn on a dime. The kayak tracks well in steady paddling, but due to its lighter weight and shorter length, it will start turning when you stop paddling if there is any current. I have had this kayak out on a 7-mile river/lake paddle with a large group and I had no problem keeping up with the pack of kayaks of all sizes and shapes.
This is a good recreational or beginner kayak. My newfound enjoyment of paddling has me desiring possibly moving up to a 12' kayak, looking for something that tracks better and will allow my strokes to be more efficient. BUT as a not-fit-or-strong, middle-aged woman, I do not desire a heavy kayak that I won't be able to lift. And that dilemma points out how the Summit 100X strikes a good balance in cost, features, performance, and light weight.
