I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

The Ocean Kayak Zest Two Expedition Tandem Sit-On-Top Touring Kayak is perfect for day treks or weekend adventures. Enjoy a day on the water with a buddy and a furry friend with the kayak's tandem design, which supports two adults, or two adults and a small child or pet.

A pair of Comfort Plus seats provide four-way adjustability, generating a custom fit and greater slip prevention over molded seats.

    Seats are included but no paddles. Seats are well made and comfortable. Yes, but that is sold separately. You will also have to drill into the kayak. https://youtu.be/Smooa3s94jY Yes, you can add rod holders for fishing. It’s not designed for solo paddling. But when I go out with my daughter who is 5 yrs old. And I’m 6ft 230 pounds..... I end up solo paddling for quite some time. This is on calm lakes and rivers. No moving current. If you HAD to solo paddle some ballast weigh up front is necessary. But I suggest look at a different kayak if you want to truly solo paddle efficiently. We also have a perception cove 2 that’s great for solo or tandem and I like the Malibu two and Malibu two xl for similar kayak but with better solo paddling. Ok truth be told is you wanna solo and tandem on calm lakes and rivers get a Malibu two or Malibu two xl. If you want the zest extra length for soloing get a different kayak Bc you also will have a difficult time moving it at 75 plus pounds.
