In your first EZLite video you mentioned taking it out soon on Class 1 rapids. I just left a comment with questions on that first video regarding stability so anxiously waiting for the video of you taking this kayak in the rapids. Thanks for the vid.
FYI. You should put the words "EZLite" in your video description so when doing a search it will show in the results list.
Lots of great information Cliff, thank you!
Thanks a bunch! Always great to hear from you Hawaiian Dan!
I just ordered this with both suggested skegs because I don’t want to catch on thick seaweed in shallow waters. I hope I fit because I am 6’4 245 lbs! It looks like a stable, fun kayak. I am excited to get my 4th kayak. I have 3 Hobie pedal kayaks that I love but this looks like a very convenient/efficient paddling kayak and I don’t need to worry about hitting weeds if I have the smaller skegs. Yahoo!
You should be OK with the height and weight, I don't think it'll be a problem at all. I am 6 foot, but I have a 34 1/4 inseam, which is quite long. As long as your inseam is not drastically longer than that, you should be OK. Hopefully you got the high back seat model. Just release the straps to slide the seat back as far as it will go. If you need to go back a little bit further, you can put a carabiner on the end and then hook to the D rings.
Let me know how it goes, I think it will work out 👍
@@KayakCliff Thanks Cliff! Great suggestion about adding the carabiner for a little more length! I have a 36” inseam so worst case scenario I will put a small cooler or a thicker foam roller piece against the front wall and not use the foot pegs and push against the front of the kayak wall. It should work out fine for me if you are a 34 inseam and it works for you. Yes, I got the nicer seat option. I have enjoyed many of your videos so thanks for posting so many different locations. Getting out on the water is my motivation all winter long to stay fit enough to enjoy the summer on the water. Keep making more interesting boating videos to inspire the rest of us. Thanks Cliff!
@jrabc7823 you are welcome! Let me know how the foot pegs work with you, with a 36 inseam. I think you will be fine. Especially if you add a carabiner to allow sliding the seat back an extra 2 inches.

Cliff - Thanks, I enjoy your videos and do want to comment. Many of us have been looking for an inflatable that tracks well for floating rivers, and does so without having to use an attachable skeg - for river floats in the Ozarks, any plastic skeg will hang up on the riffles and shallow areas. Thats the problem with the 300X, great for whitewater where you need maximum maneuverability, but for the class 1-2, you don’t want to have to add a skeg for it to track well. I was hoping with the EZ-lite, Sea Eagle would take it to the next step - give us a 12 footer that’s narrow enough to straddle it for easy entering, yet tracks well in class 1-2 without having to add a skeg that will hang up in shallow areas. This EZ-lite is closer to that than the 300x, but not quite there - let’s hope for a narrower 12 ft. version from them someday, and I would be interested in your thoughts on this. I will definitely check out that smaller skeg too, nice to know at least they have one of those, but changing the hull design a little might also improve tracking even without that little one, I think (my 10.5 ft Wilderness Systems Aspire 105 tracks very well even without the skeg down).
Hey 👋 Barry, I believe the easy light with the small skeg would do well and very shallow creeks. I'm going to try it myself on the Brazos river, here in Texas. I actually have high expectations of that set up.
I have had the razor light out on many shallow rivers with no skeg. I actually, never use a skeg on the razor light. It performs and tracks beautifully. I actually had the razor light on a strong class one or a week class two loaded down with camping gear and did totally fine. I won't lie, it was a little sketchy, but I came through just fine.

Your ezlite videos are fantastic but also torture. I can't wait till the end of July when mine arrives. 😂
Oh, I can only imagine! The demand for this boat has been crazy! Their new shipment I believe is available to ship around July 12, so you should get it a little bit before the end of July.
Take care!
@@KayakCliff It's definitely going to be worth the wait. 👍🏾
Hi Cliff, nice to the EZLite again and so funny because I was going to say in your review video (you said you can stand up on it but you didn't) So glad I didn't lol
Fantastic follow up video buddy, and I'm sure we will see more of you in this boat, and perhaps you may see me in one, in a month or two !!!
Thanks River Rat! Have fun down there and take care!
Thanks for the helpful reviews. If you could only have one kayak, would you choose the EZLite 10 or the RazorLite 393rl? Both are portable enough, so I would prioritize paddling performance over weight.
Hi John - For top performance - The RazorLite for sure. I'll post my adventure videos in the 393RL

Great video!! Look like a beautiful day! Have a good day and week. Thank you for sharing
Hi 👋 Heather, thank you so much for watching and commenting, you have a great week too!
@@KayakCliff your welcome and thank you
Cliff, you mentioned extra kayak seat cushions, but then didn't come back to that thread? I'm one who would want an inch or 2 of height. What cushion have you added that you've found helped?
Hi Jody , thank you for asking, great question! My intent in that video was to show the 5 inch inflatable cushion that Sea Eagle sells. It was way too thick for that boat, so I omitted it from my editing.
What I have used for years are the purple seat cushions. They have many different thicknesses and price levels. They are, in my opinion the best! Here is a link for them, I think in this boat, the 2 1/2 inch would work beautifully.

I’m curious about the EZLite and the RazorLite vs the Fasttrack, which I’ve had for 12 years. The new ones are making me rethink my devotion to the Fasttrack. Do you have an opinion?
Hello Ann, I'm so sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. You are absolutely right! I do believe the razor light 393RL and the current EZLite, plus future models that might come along, absolutely have people thinking twice about a fast track. My problem with the fast track is that it does not perform at all without a skeg. When you get in shallow water, you often have to removethe skeg, which renders that boat in operable. With a skeg, the fast track is a nice paddling boat, and I do like the ability to stand up in it with great ease. Perhaps a 12+ foot EZLite would be the perfect replacement. Thank you so much for commenting and let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great weekend!

My review of the RazorLite - czcams.com/video/wCpz9gl_8Nc/video.html
I have the swept back skeg on my razorlite....works well. I've not seen the smaller version on the UK distributors Web site?
Hi Albert, it is on the sea Eagle website at seaeagle.com. Under the accessories page.
Cliff, is that the small slide in skeg the one from Sea Eagle ?? They list it as being for HB96 and FS126. Have you actually used it on the EZLite10 ?? Fits ok?? Thanks.
Hi 👋 Bob - I used the small skeg throughout this whole video. Loved how the boat performed, but I love a little bit more playful boat. The standard keg that comes is really nice, I just prefer a little bit more playful performance in a boat, that's just me though. I think it is great to have both skegs and the ability to choose what you want, for the type of paddling that you are doing.

How does it handle padding against a headwind? Does it slow you down quite a bit?
Great question! Because the EzLite has such a low profile on the sides and bow, it does wonderfully into a headwind. Even Crosswinds will be tempered when they hit the low profile, angled sides of the kayak. I would say it is as good as a sit on top can get with regards to performance into winds. Probably as good as most sit inside touring kayaks, except you, the paddler are sitting up higher.
