Inflatable kayaks
Anyone here has an inflatable kayak?
Been looking for one and it's hard. Many options but at the same time not. I want a sit in kayak but with open cockpit. Or a Convertible if possible. A kayak that can track somewhat good and it's good for winds and waves from boats.
Yes I have the single rider blue and green Intek K-1 challenger inflatable kayak. I have taken it out on the Columbia River with some pretty high winds like 9 mph and scary waves but its much less scary if you go out with winds 6 mph or less. I havent flipped it in deep water yet but near shore a big wave tipped me once. Great Kayak to have in your trunk for an impromptu naked kayak excursion. Have fun and let me know if you have any other questions. I am happy to chime in!! Have Fun! Rog
Thanks guys for the answers! I have check all of the kayaks you have mentioned before.
The intex k1 doesn't have any valves from the inside.
Oru was one that I really liked but the foldable dimensions
are too big to check in as luggage in a flight.
Yes, she's are good for tracking but not all skegs in kayaks are as good.
I have had some more research and have concluded with two brands in which one kayak of each brand got my interest.
I will update this when I buy one but meanwhile, please keep writing your opinions and maybe what inflatable kayak you have.
Looking forward to kayak nude with some of you!
I have a Sea Eagle tandem. Only bought it to take my wife out to see if she was serious about wanting to go out with me. Turns out she wasn't, lol. Also have taken the grandkids out on occasion. As far as I am concerned the only good thing about is that it is cheaper than buying a solid, well built tandem. Mine is definitely too large for taking with you by air.

I was considering the 385ft. Not sure yet.
Have a dual seat Intex Explorer inflatable that came with skeg for tracking. It inflates and deflates quickly is not too heavy and relatively easy to transport.

i have one similar and with the skeg it track pretty good but without i've seen them at the lake and they just spin in circles , might be a idea for the manufacture to throw a skeg in the box.
I have a Sea Eagle 370 tandemish kayak. It is their cheapest "tandem". In reality it is better suited to an adult and small children or an adult and fishing/camping gear. It handles boat wake well but wind can push it around. Decent starter kayak for someone on a tight budget but if one can afford it I would recommend an inflatable with at least a drop stitch floor, if not a completely drop stitched kayak. The drop stich floor will both improve handling and paddler comfort.
I also have an inflatable paddleboard, which practically lives in my vehicle in the summer.
