It's made out of the same plastic like those kayaks you see out in front of Walmart. I can carry it under one arm still, but I just don't use it any more as I'm 62 and its just taking up space in my loft. It's great to learn on or for the kids because it doesn't bob around that much in the water and you can run it up on shore without any damage to it, I've never seen one anywhere around here?? kind of cool, it comes with an adjustable paddle and a leash that wraps around your ankle. (NO TRADES, NO DELIVERY, CASH ONLY, ONLY DEAL WITH CRAIGSLIST EMAILS, NO PHONE, NO TEXT SO DONT ASK, I WILL NOT RESPOND) If adds up it's still available.
