It turned into a 3-hour kayaking session because we had so much fun with it! They were $49.99 each when it was on sale, and I couldn’t help but to buy it after reading the reviews, both positive and negative. What I took away from this entire purchase was how glad I am that I took a chance on it. This is one of the best purchases I’ve made.PROS - REVIEW – Here’s the good stuff first (Pros):The QUALITY was better than I expected. Repair is also super simple, according to Youtube, but I haven’t had to do this as there were no defects in my kayaks… yet. Anyways, they are so sturdy and the material is so thick that I have no problem with my dogs jumping in and out of it, but I would still yell at them to be careful...The COLLAPSIBLE OARS are actually more than good enough for me. They were easy to assemble and didn’t clip my hands or felt loose. They actually felt perfect in the water as well. I suppose the other reviews had me worried that the oars would be terrible, and I’d have to go buy another one at Walmart, but really, they work completely fine and a lot better than anticipated. I do think that better paddles would get you places faster though.The WEIGHT was maybe 20 lbs and fits in a bag! I wouldn’t throw it over my back and bike it to the lake, but it’s so compact! I love being able to just throw it into the trunk and take the inflatable kayak to the water whenever we feel like it.PUMPING and ASSEMBLING the kayak was sooooo easy and fast AFTER the first time. Yes, it took some time to figure stuff out the first time and I even got angry at the vague instructions, BUT after that, I was literally able to pump up the main kayak in less than 2 minutes and have it out in the water in less than 5 – all with just the pump that was supplied. I thought I’d have to use an electric pump, but no need! The manual pump that it came with worked so well and so fast that I am thinking of using it for my inflatable bed for camping as well (or should I say "glamping"?).The BOSTON CAP made it convenient to pump as well, because air only goes in one way when you’re pumping, so you don’t have to rush to close the cap for fear of air escaping. With the pumping of the kayak, there are two main compartments – one for the base and the other one for the top. I actually counted the number of pumps that worked for us: 63 pumps for the base and 44 pumps for the top. It’s silly to think that it will always remain the same number though, but knowing this number helps me keep track of the rubber’s condition of my kayak.The SKEG stayed in place real well. I did have to check on it once in a while just to make sure it was still there. So far, it’s lasted. I have no problems with it at all.The INFLATABLE SEAT, like many people have said, sits quite high if you inflate the bottom as well. So we took other people’s advice and only inflated the back portion of the seat. It’s nice and comfy.The SPACE FOR THE LEGS are not bad. We’re 5’1” and 5’5”. That being said, there’s this inflatable green triangle/oblong-like thing that everyone keeps wondering about. It actually slides into the front of your kayak. At first, we thought it’s so it’s easier for short people’s legs, then I realize that 1. it lifts the front-top portion of the kayak a little bit so it kind of helps with keeping water out of front of the kayak, 2. it helps with lifting the front top so your legs don’t get squished or feels too restricted in the kayak, and 3. it actually helped a whole bunch with using it to reach the ends with my towel when I needed to completely dry the inside (not necessary, but more on this later).This inflatable kayak is awesome for CRUISING speeds. Once you get going, you really pick up that speed and get going. TRACKING was quite excellent. It always went in the direction I wanted it to go, never went off-track, and made turns effortlessly. It felt like I wore it like my own skin. We also had WINDS at a constant of about 9 or 10mph, with an occasional gust of 12-15mph. There was significant waves once in a while when boats are close by with their motors on. Our kayaks stayed on course really well through it all, with a little bit of resistance when going against the wind. At one point, we did feel like the kayak was going to flip over with the significance of some of the waves, but we didn't stick around to find out.CONS - REVIEW – Cons and Suggestions:The supplied CARRYING BAG is actually not that great. It reminds me of the recycled tote people use as grocery bags. In fact, those recycled grocery totes are probably better quality. However, with that said, the bag is still big enough and decent enough. I wouldn’t waste any money to buy a replacement bag.These inflatable kayaks do LEAN TO THE RIGHT! My goodness, I thought this was going to be a problem, but guess what? It only took 2 minutes in the water for BOTH our bodies to completely adjust itself to the slight skew of the kayak. You may notice you’ll naturally lean more to one direction. Or more likely, you’ll notice yourself holding your oars more towards one direction. For us, we both held the oars lower to the right to adjust for the balance of the kayak. It’s just so natural that there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. You’ll forget about it as soon as you start paddling. Someone also suggested letting out a little air and/or getting out and adjusting the bottom a little. I haven't tried it yet, but worth looking into. Well, for our kayaks, it just tilts very little and doesn't matter how much we inflate or deflate it or move it around, but we never really did too much to fix it; we just sort of accepted it the way it is lol. Then again, like I said, you won't notice it soon after you paddle off.We didn't flip over in the middle of the lake, but my wife did FLIP over was when she climbed into her kayak in the very first time. I wasn't watching, so I don't even know how she managed to do that. She might have sat too close to the edge as she tried to get on?? I don't know... She seemed just as stunned by it, so she couldn't really describe how it flipped over. The kayak was light enough to flip back over effortlessly. I honestly don't know if this should be a con or pro though, because imagine if you did flip over in the middle of kayaking. If you know nothing about flipping a regular kayak back over and climbing back in, you'll have to be wait to be saved by other people. Now imagine your inflatable kayak flipping over... If it's anything like a regular float at water parks, it may prove to be easy to get back on - or not, hopefully without completely filling the kayak with water... I've never really tried it and never came across the problem, but will amend the review if it happens.It was actually quite confusing to FOLD the kayak back up. If you’re like my wife, you’ll just do whatever works for you and get on with it. I’m more of a pain-in-the-a about it, so I had to do it exactly how it was unfolded. I can already tell you the difference between my kayak and my wife’s kayak is that mine will last far better than hers. I took someone else’s advice and took pictures of how it was unfolded so that I can fold it back up exactly like so. After a few tries, you won’t need the pictures anymore. The reason for folding it back the way it was folded is to 1. protect the skeg area, 2. keep the kayak compact enough to fit back into the bag that it came with, and 3. possibly to keep from creating new edges to fold which may be sharp and cause punctures along the new sharp edges/corners. If you don’t really care about all that kind of stuff, just fold it into thirds and throw it in the trunk. That works for my wife too. Lol. Now that I think about it though, I may just do what my wife does and fold it into thirds the long way and place it in the back seat/trunk. The less folding, the better it may last.PUMPING with the supplied pump is so incredibly easy and awesome, but it’s pretty embarrassing pumping with a tiny little thing and having your feet on the teeny-tiny little bases. You’ll be tempted not to place both feet on the base at first or just use your hands to pump instead because you’re so MUCH cooler than that, but you’ll quickly realize the you just want to get it over with and in the water as quickly as possible. Sooo, you’ll eventually pump the kayak with both feet on the base, hunched over with your butt all the way in the air, and pumping away frantically. I’ve seen others do it and it looks just as embarrassing as it feels. Honestly two embarrassing minutes. Every. Single. Time. If you can get past the embarrassment though, the pump is actually so damn fine, you’ll love it and want to keep it with you wherever you go. Okay, let me walk back on that pump... I meant that the pump is fast and has all the attachments you'll ever need for you kayak. So, it's also great for floats! The quality of the pump's plastic, on the other hand, is really cheap-feeling and light-weight.Edited: DRYING THE KAYAKS were no easy feat the first time around. However, I figured out the fastest and the best way to do this. It will require an absorbent, large towel per kayak, the sun, and about 10-30 minutes.1. KEEP the kayak INFLATED. Take the skeg off the kayak.2. Have the inflated kayak at a slope the long way (doesn't have to be a big slope at all) so the water inside the kayak rolls down the opposite end. If you don’t have a slope, lean it against the cool side of your car (so the metal doesn’t get so hot that it’d melt the rubber off your kayak) or a wall – the long-way. Or prop it up on one end with a duffel or something.3. Stick the towel inside the end that the water rolls down to. If your arms are not long enough, you'll need the green thing to help you, but otherwise, stuff it gently all the way to absorb the water.4. Keep it in the sun for about 5-10 minutes (release some air if your kayak starts to inflate in the heat so it doesn’t over-inflate on its own).5. Check on it – you may have to use your towel to wipe some water off.6. Take the towel out, wipe off excess water that you still see, and squeeze the towel dry.7. Flip the kayak over the long-way and do the same for the other end (repeat steps 2 to 6) for another 5-10 minutes. Make sure to stick your towel in there to catch the water BEFORE you flip it. This sounds unnecessary, but believe me, if there’s water, you’ll want to get it all out or as much as you can.8. The front side of your kayak should be dry by now, but if there’s still water, just wipe it off with the towel.9. Flip the kayak onto the back (where the skeg goes) onto a flat surface (or leaning is fine, it doesn’t matter) and dry off for another 5 or 10 minutes.10. Wipe off excess water where necessary. Use additional time if you have to, but don’t leave the kayaks out in the direct sun for too long if you don’t have to. Release some air if the kayak inflates too much in the heat.All this sounds like a lot of steps, but that’s just because I broke it down into steps. It literally takes less than 30 minutes while you’re not even paying attention and just sitting and enjoying a beer or something. It matters if you have sun or not as well. Arizona is so hot and so dry that this really completely dried off everything in about 10-20 minutes total.OTHER SUGGESTIONS:- Take pictures/a video on how the kayak is unfolded so you can fold it back up the way it was folded, if you prefer.- Practice opening and assembling this kayak just once (or more times if you have to) while you’re at home. This will make it easier when you take it out to the water and not have to figure out what goes where, so you can get a feel for what over-inflation/under-inflation/just-right-inflation feels like, and know how to fold it back up.- Keep the new kayak inflated overnight in your home when you first get it so that you can know if there’s any major leaks or a leak at all.- It goes without saying, but keep the inflatable kayak from sharp things/jagged surfaces.- Youtube how to repair a leak in your kayak. It’s super easy and takes 2 minutes to watch, and possibly 2 minutes to repair.- Bring the repair kit with you just in case.- Use the supplied air pump – really fast and really easy. No batteries!INSTRUCTION MANUAL:Initially, I thought the instructions were very vague. I was quite frustrated at first, but after I read it, identified what was what, knew where everything went, and got it inflated and deflated the first time, I realized the manual couldn’t have been any more detailed than it had to be. So, don’t give up. The instructions are ALL there. True, you may feel like you’ll want a ctrl+find though…Willow Beach, Arizona – Review:We went to Arizona’s Willow Beach Marina. If you do go there, there’s certain things you should be aware of. First of all, there’s a $20 entrance fee per vehicle (there’s an option for annual passes, $40/year). Second of all, if you don’t want to compete in the water with motorized vehicles, Sundays and Mondays are the days that are designated for non-motorized paddle boats only (which means kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards only, or whatever non-motorized water sports you bring). Third of all, check the weather, specifically for the wind factor. Anything under 12mph, you’ll be alright at the lake at Willow Beach Marina. Finally, the area is monitored, so please go to Walmart and buy yourself a $15 life jacket or they WILL cite you if they have to warn you more than once about keeping your life jacket on in the middle of the lake.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super fun and affordable!!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2015
When I found this kayak for about $80 I was hesitant to get it, but I love the water and thought this would be an affordable way for me to get out on the water. First off, the one I got is the newer one (green and blue like in the photo on the product). It came with the kayak (pretty small box), the ore and the pump. When I first got it I pumped it up and set in it inside the garage, I left it sitting there for a few days (essentially waiting for the weekend), this allowed me to ensure that it was not leaking. I took it out on the water (San Francisco Bay) and tested it out a little bit, I LOVED IT. I ordered another one for my Mom. The following weekend we took both out (into the Bay again) and went pretty far, about 4 miles out [quite a workout!] and then started to head back. It was a great trip and we had no problems (even stopped for lunch by tying the kayaks together and floating in the water). When we started heading back in the wind really picked up and we got wet, but the kayak held its course, it took some strength to paddle but the kayak never felt like it was in danger of flipping (and I had some waves that hit pretty hard and got me soaked!). We made it back with no problem and the kayak was in perfect condition.

The kayak was easy to setup and we actually keep it inflated in the garage (both stacked on top of each other with its chair slightly deflated and tucked inside the kayak) it has stayed inflated for weeks with no problems, I have found it more comfortable to leave the chair deflated a bit. The ore it came with is great and I have no problems using it (I did order some gloves, but that was primarily for the salt water). The pump looked puny, but actually pumped up the kayak super quick and with little effort, the handy little clear strip to show how much to inflate is useful and makes it easy to inflate it. The strings on top were great for keeping my stuff with me and I put some food in a a canvas bag and tucked it in there and it stayed in place.

The kayak is light enough where we can just walk it down from our house to the bay, we did drive it the first time, but it was a pain to get it in the car (I have a Ford Escape), I got it in but had to lower the back seats and push the front seat all the way forward. In the future I will deflate it slightly and fold it over in the back (especially now that I know how easy it is to inflate it).

We have had no problems with this and have found it to be super fun (although cover your thighs! or they will burn!!!). I am 5' 10" and about 180 pounds and my Mom is 5' 0" and about 120 pounds, she has a much easier time getting here legs in, I do have to tuck a little bit to get them in and keep my feet pointed outward, but it is not a problem, I actually found it quite comfortable to take my feet out and sit cross legged in calm waters.

I am looking forward to taking these up to Lake Tahoe when it gets warmer there and spending more weekends exploring the Bay (the ocean is a little rough, so I do not know if I would attempt it at this point). This was a great, affordable item for getting out and having fun!!!

I posted some photos of me and my Mom on it in the Bay.

Reviewed in Canada on July 4, 2021
I bought this kayak as a fun little experiments to go explore the river next to my house, and ended up using it a lot more than I expected 10+ trips, as well as added a diy net at the back for extra storage. It has not sprained a leak yet. It inflates extremely easy with double-action pump, and is very rapid to set up as well as easy to transport. I also feel very safe on it, since there are so many inflated sections botom of seat, top of seat, top chamber, bottom chamber, foot bag).

The main inflation vents work flawlessly, and are very good. However, the inflation vents on the seat and dry bag are terrible little plugs just like you would find on a cheap beach ball; they are a pain to use.

Of course, since this is an inflatable kayak, it has very high winds, which means it moves around on the water a lot if there's any wind out, so you have to avoid windy days (pretty normal for kayaks in general).

My biggest complaint with this kayak, is about the top inflated section of the kayak. Because of the way the section is made, and where the inflation vent is placed, to deflate the kayak, all the air must pass through a thin section at one end of the kayak. This means that you cannot roll up the kayak from end-to-end to deflated it (because the section gets pinched) but must role around on it forever to try to get the air out enough to finally put it back in the bag. Moving the vent to a different part of the kayak, or giving a pump which is reversible are the only solutions I can think of for this problem.

The oar, is of acceptable quality for the over all price (I paid $140 CAD for this kayak kit in 2020) and works great. However it is a little bit on the short side.

Over all, for the price I paid, it allowed me to enjoy the river a lot more. I found longnose gar (which is rare here in Quebec), whitnessed catfhish matting, enjoyed the waves and streams, did some fishing, all for $160 with taxes. Definetly worth it. Plus, you can't beat the portability. Love it.

Superbe kayak autant esthétiquemnt que robuste.
Utilise durant plus d'une vingtaine d'heures sur des canaux. Il est véritablement solide et aussi surprenant soit il , incroyablement maniable grave à son aileron de belle qualité .

Il est plus stable qu'un kayak dit " dur " .
Le gonflage ce fait en 10min à 2 personnes .
Le pliage également.
Pensez à bien essuyer votre kayak avec serviette , pour ne pas l'abîmer ne le faites pas sécher au soleil.
Je le recommande vraiment .
Les pagaies sont bien équilibré , légères et robuste également.
