I'm a student who has barely any money for fun things, so I decided to buy a kayak so I could have a lot of fun with just a one time "fee". It's perfect for being only around $80.00. I have no complaints since it's my first kayak and I have nothing to compare it to. I do highly recommend buying a different paddle, the one included isn't too comfortable and efficient since it's on the short end. People who complain about it's "tracking"(going straignt while paddling) need to understand this is not a touring kayak made of carbon fiber. It's an $80 inflatable kayak. I've taken it out on lakes around 20 times so far in the last two months and have had only one leak. The leak was from me being dumb and taking it to the ocean where a shell made a nice little tear. This was easily fixed with the included repair kit. All 20 trips have been for at least one hour. Two of those were "long" trips(6 miles round trip). It holds up fine in strong winds and mild waves. On my second long trip the winds were 20mph with 30mph gusts and about 2ft waves. It's pretty fun and you definitely get splashed, here in Florida that feels good though. There's a good bit of space behind the seat to store items as well as in the front where your feet go in. It does include an inflatable "foot rest". I'm not exactly sure what it's called but it helps with maintaining proper posture. It deflates in 5 minutes and fits into a small 2x2 bag which fits perfectly in any trunk. I highly recommend this if you need a way to get out on some water but don't have the money or space for a "higher-end" model.

My husband I enjoy kayaking and once we saw the prices of fiberglass kayaks, we hesitated to buy. I saw this inflatable kayak on Amazon and showed my husband who told me not to get it because they would puncture easily and blow away or fill up with water quickly- he could not have been any more wrong. After purchasing two, we took them on their maiden voyage today and both of us were very surprised; they were easy and quick to inflate and navigated perfectly in the water. The material of the kayak is very thick and durable and I am in the process of having all of our friends purchase this item as well.

I ordered the inflatable kayak kit on the 16th and recieved it on the 22nd, not bad considering I live in Ct and the company was in Ca! Moving on, my girlfriend and I have a two-person inflatable kayak that been through alot and never even got a puncture in it, so we decided that inflatable kayaks might be the way to go for now on. With that being said, we ordered two of these single-person Intex challenger inflatable kits from Backstore. Immediatly, I opened both packages and inspected the products we recieved. I found that the material is the same as our two person, which is a very good thing, the bag that came with it is very narrow and almost a briefcase size, the air pump was very basic but works well to inflate this kayak. I would reccomend buying a 12 volt pump that plugs into your car, and just take the lightweight handpump with you down river incase of a puncture. The last part of the kit is the paddles....they are GREAT! I have used a few different paddles now and the Intex aluminum paddles,that are in the kits, are a bit heavy but that is not a bad thing. We had full plastic put-to-gether ones just like these. The plastic ones are lighter (by about 1/2 the weight) BUT heavy is not a bad thing, these paddles will last and the minute you put one together and hold it, you will feel just how durable these are, plus they wont bend like the traditional plastic ones! I spent $85 on an entire one person kit with shipping. To get a inflatable kayak, besic pump, good aluminum paddle, and a carry in bag for this price is just a great value. The two-person kayak we purchased from a box store was $99 because the price was mismarked, if they didnt correct it and give us the wrong tagged price it would have been $129.99, and that didn't come with a pump, paddles, or even a carry in bag. Look at this entire kit compared to any other and you will find that this kit is an extreme value when compared to any other kayak. Thank you Backstore and Intex for offering the cheapest prices and allowing me and the gf to have fun all summer long for a one time price of $170 for two entire kits!!!

Bad Kayaking experience
If you are thinking of replacing the recurring Kayak rental fees with a one-time purchase, know that this will not serve the purpose. I had balancing issues with this Kayak. Read more

Kayak itself is very nice and sturdy. Great for calm water use. Kids (10+) are able to operate easily. Hand pump works fine; but not sure if it will hold up over time. Read more

Great Beginner Kayak
The paddles are not the greatest, and the seat is not very comfortable, but the kayak itself is pretty tough and moves through the water pretty well. Read more
