Welcome  :smt006

My advice would be to get a bigger yak  :smt003 or change your name to MakoKen  :smt044

Welcome Nick.

Where'd you get the yak from and were you able to demo it? How do you like it? And do you have experience with other pedal kayaks?

Spent the last couple hours researching the Riot Mako 12 and have seen/heard a lot of great things, only a couple negatives.  Really interested to know where you purchased yours Nick, as well as color/style options (angler, deluxe, standard).  This might be the one

I bought mine on craigslist.  Had a couple minor things wrong with it so I got it for a good deal.  The previous owner said he bought it off amazon.  Its the angler version and its really light.  Its was made for surf launches and the pedal drive is pretty fast.

That Mako 12 looks pretty interesting. If you do get one, post a review!
