Intex Explorer K2 Yellow 2 Person Inflatable Kayak with Aluminum Oars & Air Pump

Product Information

I have only had one outing, the Kennet and Avon canal, but like you I plan to get in some coastal paddling as well, when conditions are suitable of course. I am a member of many other unrelated forums with high post count, feedback, etc and so if anyone does PM me - I will reply when I see your message or get a prompt. The skeg is recommended for a better directional stability, as inflatable kayaks tend to float on the water rather than in the water compared to rigid hull and folding kayaks. Because it is inflatable, my wife andniere able to recline comfortably in place as if we were in a recliner. Then, you have to add the fin to the based of the kayak, inflate the seat by mouth (usually takes a couple of minutes) and clip it into the kayak, before connecting the oar poles.

However, the seats are not suitable for longer and sportier tours as they do not provide sufficient support. The deck pad offers comfort and grip and a diamond cut rear section with raised kick pad provides even greater grip and stability allowing you to turn the board tighter. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.Also inflatable floor Includes: inflation pump, support net, handles at the ends and removable keel. However, my partner Alex is 6 foot tall (not sure how much he weights but he’s pretty slim/fit), and he felt more unstable and wobbly due to the weight. However, the soft air chambers and inflatable seats make it very comfortable when the focus is on spending time on the water.

I've read various reviews and they seem to ooncentrate on the lower end of the market and are often contradictory. If you are hasitating between the Challenger K2 and Explorer K2, make sure to read also our review about the Intex Challenger K2 and our Intex Explorer vs Challenger article.

The Velcro strip on the floor and the seat straps are long enough so that you can position the front seat in the middle of the kayak. This Intex inflatable kayak Challenger K2 will be ideal for having a recreational trip in the pool or on a quiet lake. Lower your kayak from the dock onto the surface of the water, making sure to keep the kayak parallel to the dock. I like the waist-belt style like this as it fits more than just your phone (unlike the lanyard ones that go around your neck*). On the other hand, the drip rings, which reduce splashing water in the boat, are a positive feature.

We go to a place on the Kalamazoo River and when they dropped us off one of the workers told me there was "a 100% chance we would not make it back in tact" I can proudly say we 100% proved that man wrong. That’s why you should be very careful with the Explorer K2 and prevent any contact with stones and branches.

If you’re concerned about scratching your hull on the ground, move the kayak into the shallow water and climb in there. Dropstich construction is the way to go, and from what I've found out tuis far the bulk are made in China, differeing only in minor details, colour and logo dependent upon the final "brand" under which it will be sold in the West. Not a single issue came back in perfect condition and that was with us getting stuck on trees and rocks.
