- After eyeing off this inflatable kayak for ages, I finally took the plunge and bought one. I like it. It can't compete with my trusty hardshell fishing/camping kayak, but I like it. I think it'll make for a quick, light and portable option for random adventures.
Stay well out there folks!

Hello, Im 5,9 feet tall and around 60 kg = 130 pounds and want to buy this kayak but not sure should I take k1 or k2...
I probably want to do some over night trips too, so is there enough space for the gear In k1?
I'm a tad taller and heavier but that wasn't an issue for the K1. The main issue was space around you. Probably totally fine for a day trip. If you packed very minimally to keep the weight down you could do an overnighter, but again room for gear is minimal, and you'd probably have to strap things to the front and back. So I would definitely go the K2 for solo overnighters or multi day trips. You'd get so much more gear in.
@@RedPathRambler alrite 👍Maybe I go for k2 then.
Thanks a lot for the reply!
I'm 6' 3" - Would you say this kayak would be comfortable or should I go for the tandem?
I think you'd be ok if you were just doing short paddle trips with very minimal gear. The foot rest does adjust further away, but it leaves little room at the front for gear, even though you still have space for gear behind you. Anything longer, like overnight camping, you'd be better off with the double to take more gear. I'm 5' 10" and I didn't feel like I was cramped.
Thanks for sharing. Would you recommend inflatable kayaks?
Took mine out today for the first time. Bought it a year ago but never got around to it.
I love it, tracks pretty well.
Cheers
I agree. But I confess I've still only used it this one one time, and it was a curiosity buy that was on sale at the time. My No.1 kayak wins every time I decide to venture out. But the inflatable is a good back-up!
@@RedPathRambler Well i have another option which is a folding sailing canoe from east Germany.
Which is the superior option (but twice the weight and triple building time) but i have to transport them by bicycle trailer.
Therefor i believe the inflatable will see more use. :))
Hi there can you give an advice should I buy it or its juste wasting of money
Ps : I will use it in Mediterranean sea
I wouldn't say it's a waste of money. It's quite a stable and capable kayak on the calm lake water I've used it on. I haven't been in it on rougher water so I have no knowledge of it's capability as far as that goes. But I suggest you search for more videos of people using inflatables on sea water or rougher waters. It is well made though. 👍
Bello uguale al mio io lo un po costumizato bellm video saluti italia
what is that railblaza mount's name ? I don't find it back on Amazon... I have the same kayak and enjoy it very much here in 'Belgium
It's called the TracPort Dash 350 (mm)
I've also got the longer 500 on my hardshell kayak. Great item.

I have a seahawk and it will do rapids ! I love the ease of navigation, cushion seats with a back support . People were laughing at me taking it out at the River lol they weren’t lol when I got in the water n took off though.. they wanted one
They're better than people might think. 👍
mate enjoy your new kayak looks awesome
Thanks mate. It's not a bad little product.
Thinking about getting this kayak. Do you still like it? Have you had any issues with it?
I've still only used it the once, and no issues. Most chances I get to go out I use my hardshell kayak. But I couldn't fault the inflatable really. It's great for what it is. And easier to transport.
Bro there's people who have had this kayak for 3-5 years as long as when you store it you dont have any hard creases then it will last a long while. I'm going to buy one myself.
@@ademite Cheers mate.
yup! I'm on year two with mine. When use it all the time in the springs, and in the gulf.@@ademite
Great first paddle. I’ve just bought the cheaper Intex Explorer K2. 👍🛶
Cool. I hope it's a goodun 👍
