I live in California, and our waterways have been closed for 3 weeks due to COVID19. The day it was announced they would reopen, I bought the 2 person and my best friend bought the 1 person. They arrived in 3 days and we took them out immediately (while social distancing). Best $100 I ever spent. I bought the 2 seater so I can take friends out and so I can stretch my legs out if I want to relax and float on the bay. It fits the bill for both. When I pumped it up in my apt to check for leaks my dog jumped up on the cargo net -- she clearly wanted to come with us. Can confirm the kayak is also roomy, stable, and durable enough for my 20 lb dog. It took about 5 min to pump this up. I was concerned that the carrying bag was huge, rigid, and heavy. It is not. It's reusable grocery bag material, light, and somewhat durable against tearing but won't resist puncture. We walked 4 blocks to the beach no problem with these. I carried my kayak, uninflated and folded loosely and bound with a bungee, on my head surfboard style, with the gear bag over my shoulder. (I'm a 5'5" woman with strong arms and a back injury.) Pumped it up on the beach, stashed the pump, bag, and my little drybag into the stern, and pushed off. Easy peasy. After coming ashore, I laid down a big towel on the pavement and put the kayak on it to deflate. Wiped it out with a damp cloth and left it to dry in the shade. LFMF and remember to dump out the water and wipe it down *before* deflating the sides. I will be modifying with these add ons: - grab ropes on the sides - back bungee cargo net - replacing the flimsy gear bag with a backpack style drybag big enough for kayak and gear - neoprene or rubber non-skid mat for doggo for bow cargo area - quick release carabiners to clip in gear My only very minor complaint is that with one person in the back, it's difficult to get anything from the front cargo net without the kayak collapsing in the middle. Worked around by having my friend put weight on the back while I reached forward. Total non-issue with 2 people in the kayak. My friend also noticed that the inflatable velcro seat could have doubled as an emergency floatation device, except the clip-ins to the kayak interior are two male connections rather than male-female (you can't clip the ends into each other). I might make this mod myself just to be extra. Bottom line, it's great. Buy it, you won't regret it. If you use it 3 times it's already cheaper than renting.

First off let me say they are shipping a newer version with better features. It now comes with a removable scag and inflatable front and rear seats. My wife wanted to get a 2 person kayak even though she has never "yaked" in her life. I have a 13' recreational single seat yak I have used for years. I started looking at simular type 2 seaters...sit in and sit on models. For a hard shell conventional 2 seater I was going to have to fork out over $400...more like $500 and then have to buy paddles. Then I came across this inflatable version. Look, all things considered...for ~$100 with 2 paddles ( and a pump ) you can't beat this! So, I bought it figuring we would use this as a "starter model" until I see how my wife likes it and how much we are actually going to go out with it. I half inflated the yak and put it in the back of my car. When we got to the launch site I finished inflating it the rest of the way ( only took a few minutes with the pump they include with it ). It is a lot easier to cart around as you can inflate and deflate...no need to lash to roofs, etc.. We went out on a slow moving river and had a great time. The yak is of a heavy enough guage plastic that it took the bumps of the rocks with no problem. The only directional problems were due to "learning curve"..my wife not knowing how it works with 2 people rowing and trying to go straight. But we got that ironed out. The 3 piece paddles are sufficient. later on you may wish to upgrade to better ones but its not necessary. I think for anyone who wants only a 2 person yak to use on occasion and not spend a ton of cash...this is you best pick. If you are going to spend a lot of time on the river go with a standard hard shell. I give this a thumbs up. It works well, easy to transport, easy to store, and the price is right. A couple things you may wish to buy at the same time are: 1) a couple waterproof bags for clothing, towels, etc. and 2) at least 1 small waterproof box ( that floats ) for cell phones, car keys with wireless fobs, and 3) an inflatable floating cooler to tow behind you. Other than that...have fun.

I bought this a month ago and immediately set it up to ensure that nothing was damaged. It arrived in great shape. Zero apparent issues. We finally took this out for the first time today on Lady Bird Lake in Austin. It was super awesome! My boyfriend and I are not outdoorsy people, but living in Austin, a lot of people kayak so this was on my summer bucket list. Super glad we shelled out the $100 bucks for this! It’s definitely a lot heavier than expected, but it’s very sturdy. My only complaint were the seats. They’re just super wack and almost pointless. The bottom props you up, but the back has ZERO holding power. I read some reviews about the skeg breaking off, so I was very careful with that and bought some waterproof tape to secure it more. All in all, it’s super great for folks that have minimal storage (we live in an apartment with no garage and just a utility closet in our patio) and might not know what the heck they’re doing but want to get out on the water anyway and don’t want to deal with hourly rental places Oh yeah, while 400 pounds is the max weight limit, I know we exceeded it with water bottles, accessories, and breakfast tacos in our bellies by about 15 pounds and were perfectly fine, but I definitely wouldn’t push it. I do recommend a few things: Set it up before you ever take it out on the water. It took me about 45 mins to set up on the first try, but when I finally took it out, set up was about 15-20 minutes. The tallest person should go in the front. My boyfriend is over 6’ and the front suited him best. It was snug up there for him, but no huge complaints. Get some waterproof tape to secure your skeg. The skeg helps so much for steerage and if it breaks off, you’re goofed. Get a lifevest! I’d feel better not wearing a vest on a hardshell kayak. I didn’t want to get one, but once I was in the water and experienced some teetering when my boyfriend would make sudden movements, you realize how easily you can flip over.

I love the single and the tandem. These are a game changer, and I love that they are getting even more affordable than when I got the first one. The tandem one is really good for solo use too, for those wondering. You can lay down in it and just drift down stream nice and cozy while soaking up the sun. I recommend getting an electronic rechargeable pump with a deflate feature. There are lots of small ones. The ETENWOLF Air 3 is perfect for one kayak. Folding up these kayaks without a powered deflator can take quite a while. The inflator/deflator makes these straight up amazing.

UPDATE: Maiden Voyage complete! Went on the Monongahela River solo. Tried paddling seated near the middle, seated in the rear, and kneeling in the middle. All positions worked well. I went 2.34 miles and stayed close to the shore since it was my first time kayaking. I looked at the skeg after returning to the car and noticed it was popping out a little. I did ride it onto some rocks and the boat ramp when exiting the water. I might drill a hole in the skeg and attach a rope to it, so I do not lose it if it falls out. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and would make it again. Nice little kayak for the money. The video is to show how well the skeg stays in when I pull on it, but I was not trying to rip it off (if I even could)! INITIAL: So I purchased the item from the Amazon retailer providing prime shipping. I was pleased to see I received the new green model, despite the picture containing the older blue model. It came as described. The removable skeg appears to have a small clip to hold it in place and the end is enclosed so it cannot push through. I am not sure if this is a change, but it seems hard to believe it would come out very easily, it is a snug fit. Pumping it up did not seem to take too long, maybe 15 min (I forgot to keep track). The pump worked well, but did seem a bit cheap. This is a low cost model, but I was surprised by the quality of the items. It can be tricky folding it back up because of the chambers retaining some air, but I managed to get everything back into the carrying bag. I may use an old hockey bag that is a little larger to keep it in. I keep thinking the handles on the bag might rip, but they are holding up for now.

I bought 2. The 1st one was brand new and no problem. I did also pay for the 2 year insurance on both kayaks. The 2nd one is a disaster and I can't believe it was sent out at all! Obviously NO ONE inspected it! I purchased it on May 25 2020 and received it on June 2 2020. We didn't open it until July 5 2020 when we went as a family to kayak. It wasn't even clean! It was DIRTY with red type clay. It was missing the fin at the bottom, it was missing part of a paddle so that we only had ONE functioning paddle. My husband tested it on the inland lake here in MI and we then found out there was a rip on the bottom and it started taking on water. To make the experience even worse because I was passed the 30 days I had to then call the company to make a claim. I was on hold for almost 30 minutes before I spoke with anyone. I had to repeat myself numerous times on what was missing and wrong and then I was told that even though I had purchased a NEW one and PAID for the insurance they would NOT replace the whole thing w a new one but ONLY the body of the kayak, and the paddle and the fin...which guess what she didn't included the fin in the warranty claim I received in the email after saying numerous times it was MISSING! The cherry on top...I was told I have to cut the area out where the rip is and send it in to them in South Beach, CA at my OWN expense before I can get ANYTHING replaced! I asked to speak with a manager and she told me I couldn't. I said I want to speak with a manager and she said then I will have to wait 1-2 days for them to call me and she didn't even know her who her manager was and that he would tell me the same thing she did. You should see the warranty claim requirements. It a page long! This is literally the WORST experience I have EVER had in purchasing a product on here. I am so upset and angry right now it is so not OK. The amount of things I have to do for this and the amount of time I had to put toward this is ridiculous for what was supposed to be a new item.

I purchased this kayak for a trip to San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. I had read all of the reviews, both here and on other sites, and most reflected the problems with handling and wind. I should be clear I am a 62 year old woman, new to this experience and my skills are not well developed. I wasn't looking for a hard core kayaking experience. I was mostly interested in just getting out in the water, paddling around and having some fun. Most of what I saw in photos of San Carlos the water is fairly placid and closer to a lake than an ocean with very little wave action and felt it would be a good place to try out a possible new hobby. The first time out conditions were ideal and I found it all came fairly naturally to me. Although the getting in and out of the darn thing was dicey. Second time out the conditions were mild, it was about an hour to sunset and my friend (who sups) and I had and easy paddle out to Honeymoon Island. However, once we arrived we noticed the wind had picked up quickly and significantly and we both felt it prudent to head back to shore. Once back on the water the wind was considerable coming from the east. Once out of the shelter of the island, however, a squall came in with the wind now blowing hard from both the east and the west and the water went black. I knew at once I was in serious trouble. I could not navigate the kayak AT ALL. I had to keep paddling only on the left side to fight the boat from being blown to the west and out to sea. The wind from the east kept pushing me west with the sea swells growing larger by the second. I couldn't make any progress what-so-ever! I was exhausted from the effort but had to keep paddling furiously. Remember this was only my second time out and I am NOT an athlete by any stretch. At one point my paddle got sucked under my kayak and I almost capsized fighting to get it out of the water. I couldn't stop paddling furiously for even a nano-second because the force of the wind kept pushing me sideways. I desperately tried to turn with the swells toward shore but simply couldn't make it happen. It took every bit of strength and effort I had just to keep paddling and keep making for shore, any shore. I kept my eye on the take out point we had agreed on and just kept digging and digging in to the water with my paddle until I could finally get the craft going in the direction I wanted but not until I was just a few yards from shore. It was the most terrifying experience of my life! I really was frightened I would either run out of steam or have a heart attack with the effort. Even my experienced friend was having great difficulty on her board and she had her dog on with her. I did finally make it back to be greeted by a small group of spectators who were concerned at my panicked struggle. I was exhausted and literally felt out of the kayak. However, not one to be easily discouraged, I went out again two days later to try my luck. Things started out smooth and I was able to keep up with my friends without a problem but then the wind picked up and the struggle, while not as daunting as the previous experience, began. There were times I was paddling aggressively but the kayak wasn't moving at all. Eventually I made it back to the take out but it was a real workout. Both experiences confirmed what other people had said that this kayak is very difficult to navigate and impossible in wind situations. Also, the paddle that comes with the kayak is inadequate. I had my friend who is a long time kayaker try it out and she confirmed the same. Even remarked that given the difficulty she was having I was very lucky to have successfully made it back when we got caught in the squall two days previous. So... now what to do? Was it more than I had expected? You bet it was. Will I give up, no. I will try my boat again on a local lake or on the Rio Grande after the spring run off has passed. I will most likely upgrade to a better kayak but until I'm certain this is for me I will keep trying to have some fun in this one. Although I may buy a better paddle and not go out if wind is an issue. A word about the boat itself. The construction of the boat is adequate and it inflated quite easily and quickly. The back rests of the seats are totally inadequate. I read about someone breaking their paddle, I'm damn lucky that did not happen to me in the throws of my challenging paddle and it doesn't seem wide enough. I was able to fully deflate the kayak and fold it according to the directions and it fit easily into the included bag along with all the accessories. Oh, I also put an inflatable beach ball pushed into the prow of the boat to prop my feat against and found that to be very helpful. BTW many older reviewers spoke about the skeg coming out and getting lost. The skeg has been redesigned and now slides and then clicks fully into place. I drilled a tiny hole in it and threaded a cord through and tied it to the back of the kayak just in case but it stayed in place no problem. I gave this a three star because of the "challenging" navigation issues. I will come back with an update later in the summer after I've had more varied experience. In the meantime, beware of wind and large swells and get a better paddle. I would not let children go out in this kayak without an adult. Have fun but be safe.

Pretty quick and easy to blow up, get in the water and get going. A great solution for those who don't have the space or cargo capacity for a conventional two-seater kayak. And cost effective.
