Hey guys I just purchased a decent kayak. I used it two weeks ago and thought I let it dry completely before I put it up. But when I got it out of storage today to use it again it was starting to mildew. Any advice for making sure that it’s dry? And yes I did place a silica gel pack in the bag with it.
Saw someone unloading a Razor Edge Pro 2 at a lake this weekend and honestly did a double take because I didn’t realize inflatable kayaks had gotten that sleek now. The couple using it said it packs into the trunk of their sedan which immediately got my attention because transporting/storing a normal kayak is basically the main reason I still don’t own one.
Now I’m kind of stuck in research mode trying to figure out whether the Edge Pro 2 is genuinely solid, seen a few good reviews but looking for a bit of confrimation My wife and I are not a hardcore paddlers or anything.
mostly interested in relaxed lake paddling, early morning trips, maybe occasional weekend camping.
Curious if anyone here has actually spent decent time with one?
especially interested in: how stable it feels after a few hours on the water? whether the novelty wears off? if setup becomes routine or eventually annoying? and whether it actually holds up after repeated use.
Would love real owner opinions if anyone here has tried one. Honestly should’ve asked the couple more questions when I had the chance.
I got the opportunity to take my pups to a couple lakes. This is the first time my new doberman pup got on the boat. He did fantastic. My other dog is my paddling partner. The lakes are Chilkoot lake and Bass lake. Both are around an hour from the hwy 41 entrance to Yosemite. The last pic is of a leach my brother picked off his leg. He got it at Chilkoot lake. Peace.
Heey everybody,
I live in a Dutch city with canals and small rivers. I've always wanted a boat of any kind just to explore the city from the water. To me, an inflatable kayak means a fun way to be on calm waters and still be affordable.
As a complete beginner in kayaking (apart from occasional tourist tours), would this full drop stitch (FDS) model of Hydro Force be any good?
What are the most important features to consider?
Any help is welcome, as are other recommendations (budget +-400 euro or 450 USD)
Thank you in advance!
Moin,
Wir wollen zu zweit mit 2 kleinen Hunden gern Kajak fahren. Haben dieses hier günstig gebraucht geboten bekommen. Allerdings sind wir allein zu zweit schon bei 160kg Beladung ohne hunde (10 kilo) und ohne andere Beladung. Geht das vielleicht trotzdem noch klar, oder sollten wir uns lieber ein anderes Kajak aussuchen?
Danke im Voraus!
Looking for real-world feedback on Nyce inflatable whitewater kayaks (Nugget XL or Ride). I know AIRE / STAR are the standard answers, but I’m curious if anyone has actually paddled the Nyce boats.
Main questions:
Mostly looking at Class I–III PNW rivers. I'd appreciate any first-hand experience.
Anyone have any luck finding mini Boston valve replacement for their kayak floors? I live in the U.S. and the only distributors I’ve found online are overseas, shipping costs not worth it.
Great experience, paddling up the stream of the river from the sea.
Was windy, but in the direction we were going, so we went really fast the way there, the way back was less fun :) but
