As the title says this is a great kayak and even better is the price at only 60 quid Everything is included pump, good quality oars, good material on the kayak. I wish the instructions were better though in explaining where all the valves were etc and what one of the inflatable parts were. There was a small inflatable part that you get where you blow it up and i think are suppose to wedge into the frontinside the kayak to give support or something.I have been reading the reviews on the US amazon site and apparently this is an earlier model for this kayak where the build material, seating and skegs are not up to par with the newer version. The newer version improves on all these features whereas this one the 2 tiny skegs on this make the kayak quite hard to steer. The new version is green. Just wish they had stocked that one insteadAnyway its a great kayak for the price, just be aware of which model you are getting

… but for 65 quid we can hardly complain now the prices gone up to 95 GBP and for that Id be looking at Savylor alternatives.We bought it to complement our Savylor Tahiti plus, to use on a family 22 1 week long cayaking trip selfcontained along a relatively easy river.On the plus sideExtras While some reviews complained about paddles breaking v. easily, which I was weary of, ours worked fine. True, these paddles did not feel as comfy and light as ones sold separately 20 25 quid for really decent ones, and out of the box a section of one paddle needed replacing DO check the kayak and other gear, theres nothing more stupid than finding out your kayak has a hole, etc, when youre just about to float it, but replacement was relatively easy UK distributor and free of charge. PLUS these paddles can be stored in 4 sections, which makes them so much easier to carry around, especially public transport, than other collapsible paddles, which only fold in two.nb, the paddles are 220 cm, and one was used for a full day by a 7yearold tooAlso the pump is useful, more compact and with more volume than the Tribord one you can get off decathlon mover volume, less pumping, but we preferred to take the Tribord pump with us, as it looked sturdier.The kayak comes with a smallish skeg, to help it tracking moving straight. Its removable and comes with a sort of safety catch so that you dont lose hitting underwater obstacles. It worked we went over some submerged logs, as well as when stuck on some hopping in the kayak to get over them and the skeg didnt get dislodged. I cant say how useful for tracking it really is, as we never tried the kayak without it. The wisdom of crowd says use a skeg, because youll never be able to go straight without. So we do.Theres also a conically shaped floatation bag which you can insert in the front or back, presumably helps in emergency if one of the main chambers gets a puncture. We used it, just because it was there. Takes up some, but not too much space, perhaps 10 l.I THINK although Im not sure now that the kayak kit also included a patch or two and a tube of glue. Absolutely essential to have at handBuild quality the kayak looked fine, survived a week on a river 8 hours a day. One seat did start to split back and seat sections are joined by a piece of plastic, but that was due to my daugher taking a VERY reclining position, I suppose.Features the net around the front is useful, in principle, but very, very poorly designed. The sides are bungee cord, but very loose, and no way to make them stay close to the board, so in theory some smaller items tucked away there might slip overboard.A drawback the kayak has no bilge limber hole. This is VERY useful to drain extra water after a days trip, and this water can hardly be removed by tipping kayak upside down. LARGE sponge helps solve this problem.Comfort my wife and kids took turns didnt complain. Definitely the seats were MUCH comfier than those on Savylor Tahiti which are disastrous.Safety stability control its very stable, like any inflatable kayak. Apparently much stabler than any rigid one I dont know, havent been in rigids for 30 years . There was never any danger of it capsizing that said, we didnt test it by standing up or trying to capsize it on purpose.Its definitely much easier to control and responds quicker, than our Tahiti 2 3 person, longer kayak though. It seems tough, we did hit some underwater rocks and tree logs and branches, with only minor scratches to the bottom.Theres one thing that is potentially unsafe there are only two chambers, i.e. bottom and top ones. With three chambers left board, right board, and bottom, you stay afloat better if one of those three goes puncture. Fewer chambers more chance of a problem. Thats theory for us, as we never got either chamber punctured, even though the kayak took some abuse from submerged branches and rocks relatively speaking, of course.Storage somebody complained it has little storage for longer trips. I would disagree. Even with the floatation chamber under the bow, we were able to fit a large around 15 20 l fabric coolbox with stove, cooking utensils and days food under the bow, PLUS 2 x 2 l water bottles, and then, you still have plenty of space under the netting to fit bulky, but lighter items, e.g. sleeping bags, etc. And then, theres v. similar storage space behind 2nd seat. You can also fit some bungee cords or netting around the back, although in our case most of the gear went in our tahiti 2.While this is not an expedition kayak, with some planning I would be able to fit all gear and food for a 2person, selfcontained trip for a week or more.Portability this is a letdown, as the kayak is about 5 kg heavier than our Savylor Tahiti 2, which is, after all, a three person kayak. I reckon the K2 is around 17 kg inc. seats and floatation bag, but ex. paddles and pump. Not much heavier than many other inflatables, but somewhat disappointing in comparison with Savylor. That said, the material felt stiffer and thicker than Savylors Tahiti perhaps you get better durability for extra weightLastly, a couple of tips1. You WILL get wet. When its warm or hot, its fine or great. In colder weather, getting wet means staying wet and the mood plunges. Do yourself a favour and pack EVERYTHING of clothing in proper waterproof roll bags. These days you can buy cheap Chinese ones off ebay, or splash out on branded ones, e.g. Ortlieb best in the world, probably the priciest too2. Sandals webbing, not leatherstrapped are essential footwear see above you WILL get wet. Flipflops are fine until the stream takes them. Shoes are fine until they get wet and stay wet Sandals will chafe your feet when wet, but theres nothing better I know. Proven waterproof plasters help.3. This kayak is v. quick to inflate around 1 2 min but a pain to clean of sand, grit, leaves and dead spiders, also a bit hard to deflate and fold, as the fabricplastic is very stiff. HOWEVER, if you have a chance to expose it to hot sun for several minutes, it becomes very pliable and folding is VERY easy and in the sun it should dry best still semiinflated in several minutes too. Btw, we store both kayaks jointly, in an oversized Ortlieb canoe bag 130, both fit with paddles and seats, just. And you can carry the bag as it comes with shoulder straps. If you enjoy carrying 80 lb on your back, that is.

It is our first kayak, good price, comes with carry bag, easy to inflate and clip the oars together so we were ready to go in 15 minutes, used it in Poole bay and we got on really well, great fun but just one criticism, the 2 seats have to be inflated, Velcro strip on the bottom and in the kayak itself, the back seat stays sturdy as it rest against the body of the kayak but the front seat does not stay upright and sturdy which makes for very uncomfortable rowing, the 2 straps to aid support slip after a while so i was constantly having to retighten, i am a fairly big chap but not overweight, a lighter person might fare better, my partner was at the back as i wanted her to follow my rowing movements because she was in the front at first and started rowing faster than a demented octopus so i am looking online for a solution and open to ideas from anyone reading this, Fact is its great fun and we will find a solution.
