Great reviews online and plenty of detailed YouTube videos.
I was able to read and watch these multiple times to be satisfied your kayak would suit my needs before I made the decision to purchase it.
The Profish Reload I purchased also offers great storage space and carrying capacity which I was after in order to be able to do
overnight paddling trips, plus it looks great.

I started with an O.K Sc******r. Went to a Jackson K****n and it was terrible for the Texas coast and ridiculously heavy.
The people I fished with at the time and still today when it allows swore by Viking kayaks and especially the Reload to get through the TEXAS surf.
Well I bought my Viking Reload and never looked back. By far the best kayak I have owned.
In between the fore mentioned kayaks I have had others but this has been the best.

Just wanted to let you guys know how super, super, super happy we are with our new Reloads!
We have taken them out on the water about four times now (the weather hasn't been that great obviously) and we are truly amazed what an upgrade this model is from the 400.
The Reload is absolutely superb!!!
It smoothly glides through the water, it's stable as, the tackle pod is awesome and has sooo much space, the angle of the rod holder on the side is perfectly designed, and we feel as safe, if not safer, on the water as we have felt in our 400's all those years! What a wonderful kayak this is!!
Also, the rudder system is such a major upgrade too, we should have done that a long time ago.

As always many, many thanks again for your fantastic and warm service. It's always a pleasure coming down to the factory in Matamata!!
Looking forward to a fantastic new fishing season!
Thanks again!

I really liked the Creative and very Thoughtful Design. I prefer a more Ergonomic kayak to a "barge" style platform.
I like the lower gunnels and lower seating. Easier to self-rescue. which I tried in my pool.
I used an Eddyline Caribbean 14 for the last eight years ( 14' 29 beam).
It was time for something new. I tried a few like the Hobie's and Hurricanes...
The Viking seemed to be what I wanted.
I feel safe in this kayak.

The best fishing kayak on the market and simply the best hull design I have paddled hands down. I would trust my life offshore to the craftsmanship of a Viking Reload. The Viking I honestly believe is better made and has a more efficient hull design for offshore runs. The kayak simply makes sense in terms of layout. The Viking is the only kayak I have gotten and not wanted to sell within a year or two. It does what the others can’t. Justin L
I’ve been absolutely impressed with all my dealings with Viking. I very much appreciate all your help! All the best, Neil M
The Viking Profish Reload is probably the best fishing kayak on the market. It is really comfortable and very stable and completely at home in a rough sea to a flat calm lake. Barry C
"After a year researching different brands, the Viking product stood out above the rest. I have just purchased the Profish Reload. What can I say, outstanding!" Thanks, Andrew.
Up until I purchased my Viking I had not seen any designs that truly compelled me to seek anything different than what I already had. In fact, I think many new designs have unacceptable trade-offs e.g. wide, heavy and slow, limited storage for fish, gear, & rods; high freeboard & windage; poor rocker and bow design. Viking addresses all these concerns.
I've since spent many hours reading reviews & testimonials [about the Viking Profish Reload], looking at photos, watching videos, and studying the Reload design. I'm convinced this is the best combination of intelligent design, performance, weight, durability, convenience, seaworthiness, and storage. I'm also attracted to the strong warranty.
Finally, I'm also attracted to the partnering with Bixpy Jet, which appears to be the most logical and cleanest propulsion system I've seen to date. Certainly an option for hands-free fishing and an alternative to heavy pedal drives!
