Intex Explorer K2 Yellow 2 Person Inflatable Kayak with Aluminum Oars & Air Pump

Product Information

Intex Excursion Pro 2 is a hardwearing, refined inflatable kayak that is built to withstand whatever the recreational kayaker can throw its way.

We also aren't fond of the aforementioned gaping holes, which had sand kicked into them more than once. I found this is best just to make sure you’ve covered it rather than trying to keep things super neat and only over the hole. The manual also goes over proper storage, including taking all accessories out, deflating completely and avoiding shape bends, corners and creases that can damage the kayak. Their kayaks are largely fishing focused, but they’re excellent as recreational boats in their own right. The repair kit includes a quick-fix, temporary patch and some plastic patches which require special glue.All you need is a Personal Flotation Device ( PFD) and the required safety gear, and you’re ready to go. There’s also an inflatable insert that needs to go inside the stern to help keep its shape firm while adding some buoyancy at the front.

The rear strip is longer, giving you more scope to adjust your position in the kayak, either for more legroom or more cargo space behind you. We're pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed paddling this inexpensive kayak and recommend it for your casual, low-budget adventures. Perhaps my favorite feature of the Intex Explorer K2 is how quickly I was able to go from paddling to driving home. It has two large air chambers running the perimeter of the boat and a flat bottom made up of smaller tubes, known as “I-beams.If you have got some experience with inflatable kayaks, you will also notice that the material is not as thick as used for high-quality inflatables. But if you want something to get out on the water a couple of times a year, this package is perfect. While this lower seat makes getting in a fairly straightforward affair, getting back out proves to be more challenging.

If you’re looking for a high-spec kayak for long tours, whitewater trips, or dedicated angling sessions, then we would recommend you seek out other inflatable kayak brands.

It also comes with two paddles, a dual-action pump, and a pressure gauge, as well as a small repair kit.

Intex Challenger is made from lightweight vinyl, which is the reason this kayak packs down so small and lightweight compared with PVC alternatives. We tried a few different ways to fix our inflatable kayak the first time this happened, but we seem to have found the perfect way now! The Challenger K1 is a single-person, lightweight inflatable kayak, while the main difference between the Challenger K2 and the Explorer K2 is that the Challenger features less rocker (or lift in the bow and stern) and is a foot longer, making it slightly quicker and roomier for two adult paddlers.

some fibreglass Yakkers I met were very impressed with the form and surprised at how little it cost. One of the oldest brands in the industry, Eddyline builds lightweight, high-performance recreational, touring, and sea kayaks. The Intex Challenger K2 is a versatile inflatable kayak that’s fun to paddle for one or two paddlers. And when you have the right product, you’re a little bit happier which affects the people around you! In under ten minutes I can be out on the water and when I am through, the kayak is deflated by the time I dry everything off.
