I'm looking at these now. What has been your experience after a year?

Thanks for the honest info. I ordered one. I'm looking forward to get it out on the water here in Norcal.

Thanks for the info about the electric air pump. I used one and couldn't get the thing inflated. Now I know why.

I f love mine! Been out 40 times no issues cheers

good for you buddy!!

Thanks good review. 👍 I'm from PA! Love outside of Philly!

I just received mine, it came with a big, nice carrying bag.

What size paddle do you recommend? I bought a 240 but I am on the shorter side. My paddle keeps grazing the side of the kayak

This Kayak sounds great! I think we will get this one and take it to the camp ground lake!

FYI intex will be restocking these shortly but they will be their 2021 "excursion pro model" and cost 320. Still a better deal than what the price gougers were charging through the last year.

Thanks for the detailed review, I feel good with the purchase. I just ordered this and it should be here tomorrow, haha thank you Amazon one day delivery. I need to get a life jacket, especially since I don't swim, before I test it out but I think I'll like it very much, got the two man so if I want to go on an extended camping trip I can carry more gear. I got to say I'm happy to hear it's very stable. Take care from a soon to be new kayaker in Alberta

How is it still holding up? I decided to buy one for my girl and I . Thank you for your videos!

Greetings from Spain. Helpful video! What is the benefit of moving the anchor back and forth?

We just got this today and it comes with a bag for everything.

yeah man, good as, like your being and truth

Have you had to patch it at all? I put two tiny punctures in the side wall today. The patch kit includes three kinds of patches but no instructions and no glue. 2 self-adhesive backed, 2 clear silicone feeling, and two actual shell material. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks for the comment. Actually I had to pair some punctures. The patch kit the comes with doesnt work well. I have had several inflatable boats before and the best way to pair is to use the Shoegoo. You can find them online or walmart. These are the proper steps for repair 1. Use detergent water and spray on area that you think holes are at. (You will see bubbles coming up. 2. Mark all of them and wipe and dry. 3. Deflate your kayak and apply a thin layer of Shoegoo.(apply about 1inch diameter around the hole) 4. Reapply once or twice. And let it dry completely. 5. Check again with soapy spray to see if it leaks. 6. Done!! It is a semi permanent way to repair. I fixed mine about 10months and still no issue!! I hope you find my trick helpful!

Mine came with the case like yours. I just got mine- actually two of them.

They are nice. The last time I took mine out, the chair and floor were losing air very slowly. I confirmed that the floor lost most of the air by using the gauge. I did find a shell under the floor and chair and I am hoping that it was the cause. I love the kayak. I take it out on Lake Michigan on the coast.

Depends how well u take care of it. I dont fish in mine I just go on joy rides

Those of you who purchased this kayak recently mind sharing where you got it at and the price? The MSRP is $250 but many merchants are price gouging it to double or even triple. Not just this kayak but just about every inflatable I seen both boats and kayaks, double to triple in price on Amazon, Ebay you name it. Then many models are straight up sold out. In the past 11 years I've been kayaking i have not seen such a demand for inflatables ever.

Yeah, I think the price has a lot to do with supply issue. Many factories were shut down due to the virus so this summer inflatable kayak produced a lot less.

The two side spring valves are not closing after I pumped up those chambers and remove the nozzle. What I'm doing wrong?

@SparkFishing

4 жыл бұрын

The valve has a locking system. You can simply push in and turn to make the air not going out. Your valve is probably pushed in so that it can deflate easily. I think you will figure it out how it works. If not please let me know again I will answer any questions you may have.

Me and my friends bought 6 of these last year to do some trips together and all of us have the same issue with the seats deflating. Man, it is SO frustrating when you have to either sit on a flat seat after 1,5h or you have to paddle to shore to inflate them again... That is the only downside I have with this kayak

I seen this kayak from 100 to 600. Can u explain the reason for the big cost for same brand? Also u mentioned the seat deflating. What did u do? Just sit on a deflated seat? 2nd thing, would an expensive inflatable kayak have that issue?

@SparkFishing

So the price goes up and down a lot, espcially on Amazon. There isn't enough supply at this point that is the reason why some sellers are selling it for really high price. I suggest you look into some offline stores or wait untill it comes for about 200$ When it first came out the price was around 205-209$. Personally, I just got used to sitting on the deflated seat. I didn't even bother inflating it after awhile. If you want, you could buy a kayak seat separately and try to install that instead. I don't think every kayak has this seat deflating issue but its about the only flaw it has.

Just bought 2 singles at fleet farm for like $220 each ( I forget the exact amount but it was $500 for two and two life jackets) Took one out so far and we didn’t put seat in right so the back was useless. Watching videos now so I know what all the little pieces are for and how to use the seat properly.

Semi-permanently repair a hole? Which one is it? Semi/half repaired which means it's not repaired or permanently/fully repaired which means it is repaired?

I have this kayak but I’m not 100% sure what the psi is supposed to be. The instructions don’t say. The gauge that comes with it is color coded. I’m assuming it’s best to keep it in the green. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes the green section is where it is supposed to be. Honestly if you pumped it up multiple times you can kind of feel how much is in. So you don't use the pressure checker every time.

I bought mine 3 year's ago and have been out many times in open sea following the coast, it performs remarkable well and very comfortable. I often stop to go snorkeling and found no problem getting back into the kayak it seems very stable.

Hi Steven, did you have to patch often? I am worried about the durability for this.

Mine just arrived and is creased from how it was folded in the box. You can see a bit of the white mesh under the orange colour where the creases are (on the sides of the kayak). Worried this could lead to the material being weakened and more vulnerable to holes. Did anyone else find this when yours arrived?

@@SparkFishing there is a little black separator, but the hole is still seen, so I wasn’t sure if it should come with a plug that completely covers that area or if that separator is the plug 😃

I can't use bigger skeg. When I fix it - it is curved in one side (not stand in 90 degree). And when you paddle the kayak it turns in one side, doesn't go straight. So I can use only small one skeg. The quality of kayak is not perfect. And after about 10 times, the seat started to leak the air.

I think it's cheaply made just like the intex mariner4 boat I owned and had to throw it away after material deterioration.

@SparkFishing

As long as the kayak doesn't feel soft it is fine. It is typical for a inflatable product to loose little pressure due to the temp difference in air vs water. If you want to have the pressure high in the water, just give it bit more pressure. but if there is a puncture or hole, the kayak will significantly lose pressure quickly. (in one hr lose 1/4 of the pressure) Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

Mine absolutely sucks, and so does Intex. All of my seats were defective, they only replaced one, which ended up defective as well. The other one of these I bought has had multiple punctures. They are very cheaply made, and are definitely not durable despite the way Intex markets them. Intex left me hanging and did not honor their warranty policy. They really suck big time. Avoid Intex, and this product in particular.
