Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

We have an Aire tandem sit on top. Works well for flat water, white water up to class 3, and kayak surfing. It has been sturdy, reliable, and a lot of fun.

Rolled up, it's just barely legal for airline checked baggage, with help of a rope corset.


Storage in the van is less than ideal. It sits in the shower pan, and we move every time we shower. But, hey, this lifestyle involves some sacrifices.

Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

You sure your not hauling around bodies! some kind of Green River Sportsmobile Killer! Just kidding. I don't bother to defalte my SUP just throw it up on the roof rack and it makes a great cushion for my glass sea kayak. Carl, I weigh 156 lbs buy a bigger one and I notice a slight flex in my 11'9 inflatable SUP, so get a longer and wider one. If you really want no flex buy a glass SUP - no need to inflate and they are low proifle on a roof rack. Good for lakes, fishing, rivers, and small ocean surf

Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

Sadly I had to sell my two Hobie kayaks when I was ill and unable to work. Now that I am better I want to get another kayak. I think inflatables would be better. I will stay tuned to this discussion stream. Good information here.

Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

Rob:

Of the kayaks listed on this discussion stream, the one you have looks the best. I'm keeping it in mind for when I am ready to buy. It looks like we are moving to Wyoming so I will have more opportunities to use a kayak there than here in Las Vegas.

Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

Hi Everyone,
Although I don't kayak I do have a friend that does. We were talking on the weekend and he was telling me about his hobby. He likes Keppler folding kayaks. They are compact enough to put in the trunk of his car and easy to pack into secluded lakes. Have a look, they have many models to choose from. Here's the link: http://www.klepperamerica.com/.
Cheers
Darryl

We love the inflatable hula 11 too! Lucky to have picked it up at REI outlet store for $600 with the pump and paddle. They aren't available for less than $800 normally, and that's without a paddle. Takes up a lot less space than that inflatable kayak

Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

Saw this while surfing (the web) this morning. Not a recommendation - I have no experience with it; just found it interesting, sorta unintuitive, and very unique :
