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

Product Information

Carry bag: The carry bag is made of thin mesh material that is great for transporting all the included accessories as well as the deflated kayak. 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

If it inflates, deflates, and floats then you can be sure that Intex will have a product like that. This company has always been concerned about fun, family, and quality. Avoid cotton clothing like t-shirts and jeans; they retain water and accelerate cooling when wet. Synthetic fabrics, or wool, are generally a better choice. If the water is very cold (60° fahrenheit or less), you should wear a wetsuit or drysuit. There are two carrying handles in the Explorer K2, one at the bow and one at the stern. This feature makes the Explorer easier to handle and transport when inflated or folded. Pricewise, theIntex Challenger K2 Kayak is more affordable than the Explorer K2. It includes adjustable seats, oars, hand pump, Boston valves for fast inflation, puncture repair kit, grab lines and a carrying bag.TheIntex Challenger K2 Kayakis a two-person inflatable kayak. It is also made by Intex Recreation Corp., an established manufacturer of above ground pools, air beds, boats, toys, and similar products. JJ: While you can really brutalize a well built inflatable while on lakes, rivers, and in oceans, we suggest giving your inflatable the white glove treatment when storing it. The plastics that most of these craft are built from don’t handle long term sun exposure well and even the heartiest of PVCs can be rendered useless if left in direct sunlight for a few months. Question: Does anyone compared Intex K2 to Sevylor Tahiti? For the same price, you receive pallets + skeg with Intex. 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 ITIWIT inflatable touring kayak is good quality inflatable kayak for leisure use. It is suitable for up to 2 people.In this Intex Challenger vs Explorer review, theIntex Explorer K2 Kayak is slightly smaller than the Intex Challenger K2 Kayak by 1 foot and 3 inches. It is also lighter by 2.2 pounds than the Challenger K2. However, the Explorer K2 is wider by 6 inches.

That means, if one chamber fails, the other two chambers will allow you to paddle the boat to safety. The color and graphics painted on the boat also enhance its safety feature. It has a bright yellow color with sporty graphics that are visible even from a distance. The Intex Explorer K2 kayak is essentially a kayak-shaped rubber raft, like the type you will find at discount prices at any big-box department store. 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.” This is a great attribute for stability, but far less desirable if you’re interested in paddling for longer distances. This kayak is certified by the U.S. Coast Guard and comes with a USCG ID as proof for watercraft safety. There are also three air chambers in this inflatable kayak, one on the bottom floor and the other two on both sides. It’s perfect for kids, novice kayakers, and for a family to enjoy. This should be your first inflatable kayak but it’s never meant for serious water adventures. Don’t expect for it to last very long either. People are also saying that it holds air rather well and that the deflation process is quite easy as well as when it comes to transporting it. Intex Explorer K2 is an excellent recreational kayak and beginner's kayak. In connection, I don't think that it will fair well as a sea kayak or whitewater kayak. I'll explain why on the product review proper. Intex Explorer comes with all the features for recreational use and will be great for occasional visits to rivers and lakes.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
