Received my Kayak with almost no damage. For the most part the protective wrapping protected all sides is the kayak except for the bottom. The Jackson Knarr is a heavy kayak and not many people can easily move this around, so when it was received the wrapping on the bottom was compromised and there was a small gouge out of the haul. The damage was minor and minimized as a result of the quality of the wrap job, it could have been a lot worse if not for the protective wrapping, it’s was worth every penny.
