So you feel that the Sea Eagle 330 is similar to the 2 entry level Intex kayaks but will last longer due to the materials of the kayak? Are the paddles with the Sea Eagle better than with the Intex? I am only 5’4 and have kayak’d maybe twice in my life but after an unexpected divorce have decided to do more fun things like kayaking. Reply Which model you choose will depend on the differences between each model. The Challenger K2 is longer and more narrow, so it is a little more sleek. The Explorer K2 is wider and shorter than the Challenger, making it a bit more stable. The same is also valid for sea kayaking. Intex Explorer K2 can't bear the force of the waves and capsizes. This is also the case even when the removable skeg is installed. Comparing Intex Explorer K2 with Other Inflatable KayaksLike other inflatable kayaks, the Intex Explorer K2 feels very stable and predictable. Even without the skeg, I found it easy to control and get up to cruising speed. If you are used to paddling hardshell kayaks, the Explorer K2 is noticeably slower, but its acceleration and glide are typical for an inflatable of its size. Answer: We took 3 of them on the north coast of Kauai, 4th grade by ocean kayak, on a three-day trip. They worked absolutely great. In June, we will take them to Tahiti. YES, they can handle the ocean.

You can store the kayak in a closet or in your garage. These kayaks are ideal for people who have limited space to store a kayak. The included paddles aren’t very long, and aren’t very sturdy. For easier use and more long-term enjoyment, you may want to upgrade the paddles. Not much leg room Intex has been distributing high-quality products at an affordable price for over 50 years. They know a thing or two when it comes to affordable inflatable kayaks. That is part of the allure of the Intex Explorer K2 and the Intex Challenger K2, quality products at an affordable price. Intex Explorer vs. Challenger The floor uses drop stitching, a technique that creates more chambers inside the inflated area to make the craft more rigid. It creates an impressive 3-psi capacity that, when coupled with its generous 38-inch width, makes it incredibly stable. Dry Bag: Itiwit dry bag 10L* (ideal for protecting items from splashing water and short immersion in water, good workmanship, with carrying strap, available in different colors and sizes)Both the Explorer and Challenger are stable with two paddlers, or if you are solo. The Explorer is 36 inches wide, compared to 30 inches with the Challenger. The Explorer K2 provides more stability with a wider hull. Design When you start adding the paddler’s weight, gear, like a cooler, etc., it’s easy to get carried away, and extra weight can add up in a hurry. The added weight will slow down the kayak and make it more challenging to maneuver. Accessories I bought one last year when Cabellas had it on sale and now have converted a shore and only motorized boat person into a fan of them. Just bought another so we each have one and can take 2 kids with us as well now. Enviromentally friendly, maneuvers into places a boat can not, Easy to set up, easy to deflate, easy to clean and easy to store. We even hook in to the top of the vehicle if we want to switch spots. I recommend this product to people who enjoy taking life at a casual speed "

With so many similar inflatable kayak models, it can be overwhelming to choose which might be the best for you. Here’s a look at some comparable models to help narrow down your search. Spend a day out on the water in the Intex Explorer K2 kayak, it’s lightweight and compact. When inflated, the kayak measures 312 x 91 x 51cm. The brand has always been a champion of affordable yet good-quality products. What are the top brands for Kayaks today? Most boats will inflate to 1.5-2.5 PSI. An exceptionally rigid model can reach 2.5-3.5 PSI, which should hold a straight line in open water and hold an edge when paddlers lean out, similar to what you’d get from a hard-shell kayak. Folding Vs Inflatable Ultimately, you should choose the size of your kayak to fit the kind of paddling you plan to do and the number of people coming along. That said, inflatables offer a great opportunity to size up if you’re on the fence. A kayak that is a foot longer inflated will likely only be a few inches larger deflated and the extra space can offer the benefit of being a landing spot for a dog or a cooler. Weight

Our Verdict

There are a few differences between the Intex Explorer kayak and the Intex Challenger kayak. The Explorer is more comfortable and faster to set up, however the Challenger is faster, more receptive on the water and also offers more legroom than the Explorer. The Intex Excursion Pro K2 is a durable two-person fishing kayak made from a sturdy three-ply material with laminate PVC and a polyester core, all of which is designed to stand up to be highly damage-resistant and endure the the effects of gasoline, oil, and salt water. When talking about how well each kayak moves on the water in the Intex Explorer vs. Challenger battle, both kayaks perform well. The nice thing is, with two paddlers, you can maneuver the kayak well, and even as a solo paddler. Either kayak is excellent for beginners or people who are paddling with kids. These are entry-level inflatable kayaks, but they do move well on calm water.
