Something I learned as a user is that the outer hull of these kayaks is NOT stretched tight when the inflatable part is properly filled. These photos could be showing a kayak that has enough air, or one that needs a little more.
Like jcooley says, if the kayak bends when you pick up one end, it needs a little more air. I don't mind paddling a Lagoon that's 90% full, but an Expedition really is a nicer ride when it's close to full.
And that outer hull is a little loose, and that's okay. It means I can get in, take off my sandals, and slip them under the deck just outside the deck lifters. No lost sandals even if I do safety practise with friends and it's my turn to flip over.
