I bought a superlight but highly rated Sundolphin Aruba 8 SS to take on solo kayak trips. I was pumped to try it, but when I got in at Point Defiance, the kayak felt really unstable.

My other kayak is much pricier and far sturdier Old Town Loon tandem. I have never ever felt like that boat was unstable or in danger of capsizing, and I've taken it a mile or two out at Point Deception before.

Am I just being a big chicken about this smaller boat because my other one is a beast, or can you confirm the Aruba 8 is a little chintzy?

My Ring camera was not charged so I did not catch whatever fell out of the sky two minutes ago on camera, but I know somebody has a doorcam that did. Please, for the love of God, tell me you saw it too! That was one of the coolest things that’s ever happened to me, to see it in real life!
