Can this chair be paddled with hands and arms? Thinking of taking it down a river.

I would not take it on a river it is mesh and if there are rapids i dont thiink it is sturdy enough

Yes it can and quite well, however I don't know if the mesh seat is strong enough for rapids.

Yes, without a doubt. You will get wet as there is not much rocker in the bow but there's no question it's sea worthy in those conditions. I take it rafting regularly and we have no problem with waves that size and bigger. You'll want some kind of motor though. Unless you're a super human rower the oars are not going to make much headway in those kinds of seas.

Not too bad, but it is a square fronted boat. I wouldn't want to paddle a long distance.

Sorry I can't answer that. The kayak was a Christmas present for our granddaughter and since we live in Ohio, and the weather here has been quite cold, there hasn't been an opportunity for her to take it out.

Yes you can. I have used the paddle on mine a number of times in civilian clothes.

I doubt if you can - The short arms on the botton are VERY short. Doubt that they could hold/balance a box (Barely balance an awkward Kayak).

Yes, it is fine for one person and very comfortable. It just did not hold water and came apart at the seams. I replaced it with a sit in inflatable and I definitely prefer to sit on top, but I also prefer to have the kayak stay afloat.

I am able to paddle sitting up, and leaning over. Sometimes during my cycling I do push ups, to work my arms. I'm considering buying a small set of dumbells to work my arms while cycling.

If you mean paddle with an oar, I don't think so. You definitely can't use it as a SUP.

Yes, you can sit on the seat peddle, and work your arms. Since the seat is adjustable 2 ways it is possible.

I do not think you can and these boats are not good at all very poorly made. Hope this helps

Probably. However, I found using the holder to be rather awkward given overhead branches and the need to paddle to keep the boat oriented to where I wanted to cast. Jonathan's question about fit is something I can't answer. Cheers!

Only if you take the arms off. I cannot use the foot pedals because they will not stay tight so they come apart. This chair was really made for a small person. My son is a big guy.

You may find a little difficulties to paddle if your arms are short. I am 5'10, In my opinion, oars should be a little longer. I bought a small trolling motor mounted in the back. It is very helpful when encounter with wave and wind.

Yes you can. The hands can be extended foward as if it was reaching for something. The arms can turn in the direction you want the arms to be. If you are looking to buy a Danboard this is the one!!! Hope this helps :D

Not that I know of. We bought it cause we didn't want a chair with arms. It is a very comfortable chair.

This boat is hard to paddle and steer in a straight direction if you're going down a river. Takes a bit of coordination, but you can manage. Just don't expect to go far in a short amount of time. Inflatable kayaks or canoes are speedier, or just get someone to tug you behind their kayak or canoe!
