Practiced at home - setting up, packing down. Adjusting the seat beforehand so just put in. Went out in it today for the first time. I am a 65 year old female, went out on our local relatively still large freshwater lake. Took me 10 minutes to be on the water and about 15 minutes to pack back into the car - wipe down and pack into the bag. Had loads of fun, so relaxing and peaceful. After each time, it will be a little quicker but so easy .... Thank you very much.
