A paddle floater help´s you a lot to get back in, principally if you have any physical disability like me.
Quick review of the X500:
It´s not as safe as a classic sit-in at sea. It´s a easy to medium sea/wind conditions capable for not to long trips and never to far from emergency way-outs. Paddle float and bilge pump are mandatory. Not for beginners out of protected areas (like any sit-in sea kayak).
A non expensive, very practical and easy to transport kayak. It´s quite fast for the dimensions, principally for an inflatable. I´m 54, with a very damaged shoulder (you can see that my right arm is shorter) and was able to do average speed of 6,4km/h at the sea and 7,2km/h at the lake on 10km trips.
Mine is now 2 years old, about 40 trips, with no problems and not showing yet any signs of wear
