Lifetime 90848 Tide 103 Lemongrass Fusion SIS Kayak with Paddle

We love our kayaks! Since July of 2020 they have been used countless times on many adventures. The skeg wheel part did fall off one of the kayaks but customer service has been extremely helpful in getting those replacement parts to me. Thanks for the great customer service and great kayaks.

We love our kayaks. We’ve used them a lot of times and only had them less than a year. The other day my boyfriends kayak lost his skag when I called customer service Jonathon was extremely helpful and friendly and helped me find the correct replacement part so we can continue having great trips with our kayaks again. Thanks for the great customer service!!! It made a bad situation a million times better!

My husband and I have purchased two Emotion Tide 103 kayaks a couple of months ago. We didn’t have much experience with kayaks before. So far we find kayaking very enjoyable and don’t have any problems with kayaks. They perfectly fit our Subaru Outback steady on water and look/feel durable. The bright green color is lovely.

We have used our Lifetime kayaks about 30 hours now multiple outings and we are so glad we got them. The padded leg rest foot rest little wheel for towing and lightweight paddles all make these superior to other models and brands. Considering to buy two more for guests to use!

We are so glad to have this kayak. Such good quality and many great features. Where do I start? Lightweight. So easy to transport with the wheel on the bottom. It usually takes two people with our other kayaks. With this one one person can easily carry it. We like the positions of the handles very sturdy. Glides through the water nicely. Cool color. Comes with a paddle.

The one sentence review for the Tide kayak is that it is awesome! There were a few things I didn’t like but the overall design appearance and performance of this kayak hit the mark. First here is what isn’t working so well for me with this kayak? I feel like the hatch cover is too small for the size of this kayak. At a diameter of 7” or 8” you won’t be fitting any bulky gear in through the hatch. Another thing I don’t like is that the dark blue interior color wasn’t fully covered by the exterior yellow and green coats in an obvious spot on the front of the kayak. Finally I don’t like that the paddle keeper clip on the side of the kayak is recessed which can make it difficult to push the bungee cord down onto the clip and secure the paddle. Now on to what I like about this kayak. This kayak just looks really good in my opinion. The unique yellow and green color combination clearly stands out. Plus the design of this kayak means it is really stable and I never felt like I was going to tip over. The skeg wheel is awesome and makes it easier to roll the kayak around on smooth surfaces. Plus the skeg wheel assembly actually creates a small fin on the rear of the kayak which also improves tracking on the water too. The seat and cockpit are generously padded which will make longer trips a lot more comfortable. I also really like that the foot braces can be adjusted and fine tuned in the middle of the lake with their long handles that you can easily reach while sitting in the kayak. Overall despite the things that I didn’t like this kayak has proven it is a blast to use on the water. It gets you where you want to go quickly and efficiently. I also like that this kayak proved to be very flexible with its adjustable seat and foot pegs to accommodate different sizes of paddlers. Plus at 48 lbs it isn’t so heavy that you are breaking your back getting it to and from the lake. The Emotion Tide Kayak is a blast on the water. I have several other kayaks as well as a couple paddle boards and this kayak has quickly become my favorite to take out on the lake!

I just got my kayak and have taken it out once. It seems great! -The gray clip for the seat came off. How do I reattach it? -The skeg wheel works great to wheel the kayak out of the garage and across the patio. Do you have suggestions on how I can best transport it the rest of the way to my pond? It's about 15' across the lawn and I hope the wheel will work there as well. There is another 15' through wild grasses and flowers that is very uneven ground. My daughter suggested carrying it on it's side with my arm and shoulder in the hatch. I'm a 71 year old female so I might have to bulk back up! Thanks!

I bought 4 Kayaks and have enjoyed 3 of them. According to Lifetime's policy I have 10 days to report shipping damage. I emailed Lifetime the day after I received these kayaks in which one was damaged due to shipping and haven't heard anything back in a week. I've tried to call and I can't get through due to Covid 19 short staffing. I totally understand the Covid 19 issues but a week with no response is a little ridiculous. I can't believe for the cost of these kayaks they don't even send any padding to protect them in shipment. As my picture shows this is exactly how they come minus the 4 straps that were around the box which you can see from the picture cut through the box and damaged the kayak. As far as the other 3 Kayaks my family and I enjoyed the 3 but had to take turns over our 4th of July weekend since the one kayak was damaged. The Kayaks are as good as any other kayak out there in this price range if it shows up undamaged.
RespI'm sorry you're having trouble with one of the kayaks. Please send an email to [email protected] with your contact information and we will have an agent reach out to you so we can get that one kayak taken care of asap.
