I don't normally write reviews…but after reading some of the ones posted that I read before buying, I wanted to clear the air and give the real facts on this boat.
First of all, for the price it is a steal. They include oars, a carry bag, seats, and so many little essentials. I took it out this weekend with my wife, and dog. My wife got this for me a little while ago but the weather has denied our maiden voyage until then.
I inflated the kayak and was surprised to see how well made this thing was. The covering is durable as heck. It inflated pretty quickly for a 10' kayak.
When I got into the kayak on the shoreline I immediately noticed it was very stable. The oars are well made also. Once in the kayak I first attempted to test it's stability a little more before going out to deeper water. I could literally lift the sides of the boat up while rocking side to side and it held its own…you would have to be trying to take this boat over on purpose to end up in the drink.
My wife took her turns and raced about how fast you could get this thing cruising through the water…the keels they give you to slide underneath work very well. We tried getting our dog in the kayak but being a lab mix, she was having none of the boat and just chose to swim along side. But her jumping in and out of the kayak tested the strength of that inflatable to its limits. She's 55 lbs. of complete maniac when she's in the forest by a mountain lake and she clawed in and out, jumped over the edge, and pawed at the sides….not a single tear or tatter!!!
Then when our day was closing, it came to the taking down and deflating, and cleaning. Another smart moment came up…the kayak has 3 air chambers and the valves are all at one end of the unit. First you don't have to walk around the kayak when filling with air and when it came to deflating it, you just open the big flood valves and roll it from one end to the other and the air disappears quickly. There's a drain hole for water in the on the same side as the valves, so as you are rolling the air out you can let any water in the kayak run right to the drain hole also. (The water was not in the boat from a leak, it gets in from getting in and out of the kayak)
Once home, I squirted a hose around the unit unraveled again and laid it over the porch railing to dry out in the sun. A couple hours later it was dry, I rolled it up, it went right back in the carry bag with the accessories, and I put it away til next time.
Super product. Super price for po boys like me. And durable and tough for lots of fishing trips for me. My wife is gonna buy one for herself now so we can go kayaking with our crazy dog swimming between us…lol.
You can feel safe giving this inflatable a try …
Well, as the saying goes – you get what you pay for. The 3 times I used it before it started leaking were great! Seemed durable, but that's only because there is a nice vinyl cover over the air tubes. The tubes are not durable at all. It is a horrible design if it ends up with a leak! The valves are attached to the tube and the outside of the cover, which means you cannot take out the tubes to spray to find the leak! I tried! Same thing if you do the troubleshooting steps and fill it with water. You can see where it is getting wet, but you can't get to the hole!
Not happy at all that I can't even patch it after it started leaking. Now I have to trash it. I'm hopeful the company will just replace or refund me. The few times I used it, I did like it. Easy to inflate/deflate, like the included attachments to put your belongings in, portable and I thought worked well. I assumed something would happen because of the amount I paid, but I also assumed it would last longer than 3 uses and that I could fix it…….
I've been rented kayaks for a couple months and it's getting to be expensive so I wanted something lightweight and easy to fit in my little hatchback car. Previously purchased an Intex Challenger at Walmart for around $100 and my God, it was so narrow even my petite sister could barely fit. Not a problem with this one. I'm 5'5 with a wide frame and 190lbs and this kayak could easily accommodate someone much bigger. I'm very impressed with the quality for the price and while instructions aren't the clearest, air intake values are numbered 1, 2, and 3 for which to inflate first. Haven't gotten it out on the water yet (I usually only do calm inland rivers and lakes, no ocean) but will update once the weather clears and I can test it out. Overall, highly recommend for now!
Update- Have used 3 times now on both calm and mild chop waters. Super sturdy and would take a lot of intential effort to flip. Also went over a lot of sunken branches and it held up fine. I like that it is almost a hybrid of sit-on and sit-on as it is open but you technically sit in it. One piece of advice is to use the skeg/fin attachment for the bottom unless you like drifting in circles haha. The fin attachment is tight in the slot for it and I did end up ripping a small hole in tarp bottom material trying to get it off so be careful (easy repair with included patches). One thing I would not recommend is launching from a concrete ramp as that would cause damage to bottom and eventually could pop it.
My husband and I are in our 70’s and got 2 of these kayaks to stay more active. We are very happy with our purchase and have used them many times in 4 months.
The kayak is durable and withstands the wear and tear of rocks, branches and debris in the water.
Here is an overview of our experience:
1. Material is durable and rugged, making the kayak very sturdy.
2. It was easy to assemble; instructions provided were easy to follow.
3. The included manual pump to inflate it is very big and efficient and works quickly. A battery operated one might be easier and smaller if you wanted; not needed.
4. Kayak inflates and deflates easily. On a weekend when we are kayaking multiple days, it’s easy to partially deflate and fold it in half to store overnight and re-inflate quickly the next day.
5. Be sure to dump out the water after using it and to make sure the inner bladders stay aligned when inflating and deflating. We didn’t do this the first time so it was a little off kilter until we realized the problem, which was easily fixed.
6. The seats are adjustable to accommodate different heights, so they are very comfortable to use for hours.
7. Multiple features make it easy to bring whatever you need. There’s a mesh bag with clips to hold your stuff, plus places to put d rings for things like a water bottle.
8. The kayak is very lightweight for how large and sturdy it is! It has multiple handles, making it easy for one person to carry it without help.
9. Product included everything we needed to get going, except life jackets. We received our kayaks in the morning, stopped at WalMart to get life jackets, took about an hour to read directions and put everything together. We were on the water by the
10. The kayak comes in a bag that is large enough for the paddles, mesh bag, and pump. The only negative we’ve experienced was due to the bag completely disintegrating. The material is like a flimsy paper-like reusable shopping bag and does not stand up to heat. We keep our kayaks and gear stored in the back seat our pickup truck. We live in the south, and after 3 months discovered the bag completely fell apart. We purchased a better waterproof duffle bag to replace it.
Overall, this is an excellent product that m husband and I both highly recommend!
