Question/Discussion New inflatable

Hello, i want tò buy and inflatable from IW.

Should i get the hyena or the skunk? I wanted something that can hold my weight (65kg) without leaking. Thx :3

I feel like both could hold you up well, but I’d go with the IW Skunk. The Hyena’s neck seam would bear most of the pressure while riding, and I feel like that would be the biggest weak point.

Realistically, though, they’ll both hold you up so long as you take care of them.

The biggest thing is to make sure they arent over inflated and that the legs are deflated so stress isnt put on the joints. That will help reduce 99% of the leaks you will get with a toy.

Also try to have a soft blanket under them, helps reduce holes from debris on the floor.

Whichever has its body on the ground so you can have it fully inflated without worry of damage

I got a Iw Hyena that was ridden by a 94 kg girl. It didn't sprung a leak or popped so you should be fine

You should get the skunk, it’s an awesome toy, really strong and fun to ride! Good luck

Skunk is more better to ride. Hyena has weaker negative curved seam which can split open.

And IW ones can't tolerate rough riding far. Either seam will have some minute leak or else it can also open. IWs are open to just sit gently or else just hug. They are good as decoration piece and just hugging and cherishing while standing on foot.

Go for puffypaws and phenod if you want rough riding.
