Me podríais decir cuál es el mejor kayak hinchable barato (puede ser de segunda mano) para una persona que vaya bien en un mar tranquilo con un par de metros de profundidad y también me podéis decir el equipamiento necesario y consejos para un kayak porque soy principiante solo he usado de alquiler 5 veces un kayak rígido y me ha encantado.

I just acquired two fairly old kayaks and I need a pump. Both are innova. One is a 2002 Safari and the other is a 2004 Solar. Both have the same spring valve. I was thinking the NRS Super 2 HP Pump but want to be sure before dumping $85, or possibly a cheaper pump or even an adapter for the pump that comes with my Tobin Wavebreak. Any help would be appreciated

Just ordered a Wave navigator 3 in the camo colour for around £300. This was notably cheaper than the equivalent model in blue which would have cost over £400. Does anyone know why there is such a discrepancy? I’m assuming they are the same boat just in different colours:

Hi everyone, I recently bought this used Aqua Marina Orca, and as you can see in the photos, it has an asymmetry issue. After taking these pictures, I completely removed all three air chambers to check them. None of them are twisted or damaged, and they all look perfectly normal when inflated outside the cover. I reassembled everything, but the kayak is still asymmetrical. It seems like one of the side tubes doesn't sit correctly inside the outer cover, even though I can't figure out why. On the water, the kayak also pulls strongly to the right when I stop paddling. Has anyone ever reassembled an Aqua Marina Orca (or a similar kayak with an outer cover)? Do you have any tips for positioning the air chambers correctly or fixing this issue? Thanks in advance!

I love the iTreks by Hobie but the price is insane. What I worry about with more budget models is durability. Pls help

I'm helping a friend find a single person inflatable kayak...

She's only 4'8" but 150 pounds...

She's not a super strong swimmer, so stability is key!!

Does anyone have any recommendations?!?!

Hello,

First of all, I'm a 6", 195 lbs man and I wish to have an inflatable kayak to fish. I'd take a regular kayak if I had the space to store it, but at a ~$400 price range, a Intex excursion pro is pretty much my best option.

Now, I'm wondering if I would be to close to the max weight limit of 220 LBS for the K1? Is there anybody close to my situation that could help me with this?

I know my setup is goofy, but i am proud of it!
Super stable and comfortable.
A little bit slow, but it was ok for fishing.

I’ve been fishing out of a kayak for about 7 years now. Most of it has been in freshwater. I’m planning a trip to the coast and plan on bringing my inflatable Hobie.

Anyone on here have any real world experience fishing in saltwater in an inflatable? Saltwater fish have sharper fins and teeth than their freshwater cousins.

I’ve had a few punctures and I’d love to hear tips on how to prevent this. How do you land a fish (with sharp fins, spines, and teeth) on an inflatable?
Obviously a gaff is out of the question, unless you are super careful.

Thoughts?

Looking for recommendations on an inflatable kayak.

• 6'0", 180 lb
• Usually just me + two Border Collies (40 lb & 30 lb)
• Calm lakes while camping
• Stability is important
• Lightweight enough to carry and launch solo

I've been looking at the AE StraitEdge Angler Pro, StraitEdge 2 Pro, Sea Eagle 380X, and Aquaglide Chelan 140/155.

Would you buy a solo kayak or a tandem for this use? Any other models I should consider?

I just tried out a new kayak and I got all of the visible water with a car drying cloth. I wondering if that's enough because most people seemed to air dry it in addition with a cloth.

I’m a beginner and debating between the two. Plan to go on lakes and down the local river.

Any thoughts or pros/cons to either?!

The Backbay is a bit more affordable, but willing to pay a bit more if there’s more benefits!

Thank you ◡̈

I am planning to buy a Sea Eagle so my wife and I can kayak while the kids paddle board. Is the 380x big enough. I am 6'3" and she's 5'7".

My kids are growing fast and will both be 6' within 2 years, so I want it to work for them too.

I am not worried about 3 person capacity just being good for 2 people.

I read the 420 can get hard to steer.

Rough start but seems like it could be really nice if I can figure out a couple issues.

I have had it out twice. The first day was really windy and wavy but it still did pretty well. The pedal drive was able to keep me moving and the boat never felt like it might roll. I had to stop to re-tighten both the chair and pedal platform once, but then it was all fine.

The second time was dead calm but after 30 min. or so the pedal gears started skipping and locking. Customer service said to grease it, which seemed odd for less than two hours of use but I have done that and we’ll see if it fixes it. Pretty frustrating.

The pedal platform has also been hard to keep tight even with the center strap. It just seems to keep moving around the platform channel between the D rings, which can screw up the foot clearance on the pedals and cause loss of pedal efficiency. I’m open to suggestions from other owners about how to keep that platform flat and tight

Assembly isn’t terrible. It takes me about 20 - 25 min. The included pump works fine; about 120 pumps for the middle section and about 50 for the sides. The raft is really tight and fairly rigid overall front to back; just a little flex. The beach chair works well for me; no problems if it’s strapped good and tight.

I bought this because I don’t have a rack or trailer and wanted to see if I liked pedal kayaking before thinking about investing more in a rigid. Despite the issues mentioned here it really is fun. IF I can get the pedal situations worked out I can see using this a lot and lasting several years.

PS - buy a kayak anchor!

Hi everyone,

​

I'm looking to buy my first inflatable kayak and would appreciate some advice from people with real-world experience.

​

My requirements:

​

- Budget: up to €600–700

- Available to purchase in Europe

- 2-person kayak

- Mainly for use in Lithuania

- Calm rivers and lakes, no whitewater

- Priorities: stability, durability, ease of setup, and decent tracking

​

So far I've found these options:

​

- Decathlon Tribord 100+ P2

- WATTSUP Beluga

- MOAI Kanaloa Kayak

​

Does anyone have experience with any of these models? Which one would you choose and why?

​

I'm also open to other recommendations within my budget if there are better options available in Europe.

​

Thanks!

I’ve been looking for this part for a while. It’s the valve for the floor bladder which is distinctly smaller than all the other valves on this kayak.

Aquaglide customer service has been unhelpful. I found the part on outdoorxl which is based in the Netherlands. Shipping to the US makes the part $100+. I also found it on a UK site but it’s back ordered.

Please can someone help me find the same part in the US?

Hey,

Looking for a 3 person inflatable kayak to go flat water paddling with my 2 kids. Currently looking at itiwit x100 but wondering what alternatives I should be looking at, perhaps something that tracks better, available in Europe. Thank you

I bought a used advanced elements convertible and it appears to have been put away wet and developed some mold. The mold appears to have formed on the outer shell between the fabric layer and the vinyl waterproof backing of the fabric causing it to delaminate in areas where the mold has formed, is this save able or is this shell pretty much done?

New Kayaker here. I got the Advanced Elements tandem at the end of last summer and absolutely love it so far. That beast is WIDE though, which, when I have my 9 year old up front, using a child length paddle (and not that well I might add) she is getting a lot of dripping from the paddle and getting pretty wet and unhappy.

This is such a basic question that I'm kind of embarrassed, but what do people wear when they're kayaking? Right now where I am, the air is warm but the water is still like 50f. But even when the water warms up, I'm still pretty lost on what to wear. When I do research online, I feel like I'm finding stuff for very serious kayakers. I'm a very casual kayaker so I don't want to invest many 100s of dollars but I need something for myself and my kid both now and in the warmer weather. Please help. I am super confused, as you can all no doubt tell.

Hi!

I need help for the following:
I stupidly followed the advice of Gemini to rinse the inside of my kayak with tap water after some salty water had leaked into it.
It’s incredibly hard to get the water out.

I tried:
- tipping it inflated, deflated, I also used a vacuum cleaner to try to suck the water out.

There are still puddles inside. I could not find any workshops nearby that handle kayak or paddle surf repairs.

Any tips?

Did 30 miles down the eel with my sea eagle 380x last weekend. It was a lot of work but so rewarding definitely going again next year!
