I have Cruise 12 and use it 99% of the time in kayak and tandem kayak modes. It feels quite stable and fast. I suppose weight limits are somewhat lower for kayak configuration than for stand-up configuration. Pity I do not see testing in kayak mode here. Also, I suspect that I would benefit from the extra rigidity of the Carbon version in a stand-up configuration, being a total beginner. So, it is not only consideration for advanced stand-up paddlers: price and weight were decisive factors for me. Cruises are heavy per se and in a package, Carbons are even more so. I love my Cruise 12 but complemented it with the 10.6 Ultra Cruiser model from iRocker, which folds along as a hot dog. The Ultra is also a nice kayak, but I tried it only as a single-seater. Sharing accessories - including fins! - makes the combo more manageable in terms of weight and bulk.
