Intex Explorer K2 2-Person Inflatable Kayak Set with Aluminum Oars and High Output Air Pump for Maximum Performance

Memo M: Es bastante portátil; lo puedo llevar desinflado en su bolsa original dentro de la cajuela del coche; el inflado y armado de remos no te lleva más de 15 minutos y estás listo para un rato de diversión. Lo he usado en ríos tranquilos y lagos, Hasta ahora muy bien, de hecho incluso amigos que tienen botes inflables me han dado buenos comentarios, creo que es una buena compra y yo estoy satisfecho. Solo hay que tener en cuenta dejar que se seque por completo antes de guardarlo para no tener problemas con la humedad, yo lo dejo escurrir, le paso un trapo y que se asolee un breve rato antes de guardarlo.

E. FriedmanE. Friedman: I bought this for $60 off season prepandemic and SERIOUSLY got my money's worth. This is a mostly positive review but wanted to be upfront about what I paid before these got seriously popular. To me it was worth what I paid but I probably wouldn't spend $125 or more unless I was only using it on FRESH water and stored it in a cool and dry place at all times.

I used this mainly on salt water and in the hot hot heat of Miami. I used it over 25 times mostly with just me (~135lbs, 5'4") or me and a friend (~300lbs total) and even once with 2 of us and a dog - over waves, in currents, fighting strong winds, through shallow mangroves bouncing off of mangrove roots frequently, dragged over rocky beaches, sand, pavement, etc. I was not gentle with this kayak. I was rough with it and it lasted 2 years of heavy use and 1 year of light use before it got its first hole which was on a seam and likely due to heat and salt exposure without washing off soon enough.

It sat in the bag folded in my car in the heat many times which I believe contributed to its ultimate demise.

At the 3 year mark, I hadn't used it in several months and found the small hole on a seam on the upward...

NickNick: Had one of these given to me as a gift I liked it so much I bought one for my wife we have been fishing out of these all summer they are more stable than my 16ft flat back Canoe and let's us each fish our own spots and better for smaller lakes than our aluminum boat there small enough we put them both in the trunk of our car and just go for the price you can't beat it the only down side's are one of the pumps broke its a maximum 10 minute set up with them the only other issue was one of the seat clips failed witch is fine for us as we have 2 extra all and all they are well worth the money and I would recommend to anyone

David CHE: My wife and I have had a lot of fun using this on our camping trips. It's a bit of a tight fit but it works. And for us it's a great option to get out on the water and explore.
Easy to assemble. Unroll, pump the floor, then one wall, then the other, then the little caps and the seats. The included pump is very fast but I used an electric pump to take each section to almost full, then the included pump to max it out. Takes two people to carry it any distance.

In the water, it sits high like a canoe but is very stable. Like I prefer this to a hard canoe lol. So comfy too. Soft but supportive.
Honestly I love it. Totally recommended!

Sans: The box and the Amazon page both says it comes with a patch repair kit. But it was missing. I tried to raise it with Amazon as well as the manufacturer, no response received. (EDIT- subsequently response was received from the manufacturer and they are sending the repair kit). We have used it twice now and it is OK. It is not spacious enough for two people. One of us has to sit with folded legs, and if both of us try to paddle at the same time, unless it is really synchronized the paddles will hit each other. likely it is a better product for one person use. (EDIT- after trying out a few more times we have figured a slightly better configuration of seating based on our individual heights. A slightly longer kayak would have been perfect, but this is not that bad). The valves on the main body of the kayak are pretty sturdy, no complains so far. The valves on the seat is not placed in the best spot and tends to pop open while using.

Inflating is easy. It take a little longer to deflate and pack up. (EDIT- after using for 4-5 times we have gotten a hang of how to fold it effectively. A video might be useful by the manufacturer). The bag (as expected) is not very handy to carry...

Willy CWilly C: We are experienced Kayakers who have other hard sit on top and sit in kayaks. This was our first inflatable. For the price of admission, ours turned out to be a great purchase. We use it on vacation, so that we don’t have to carry our expensive kayaks on our vehicle for hundreds or thousands of miles, and worry about them getting stolen when we camp. We have used our Intex Explorer on the ocean inlet canals in Murrel’s Inlet, SC and it works great for that. Smooth water with some current. Our limit is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before we feel cramped and need to take a break by getting out of the yak. I am 6’ and wife is 5’ 8”. This kayak is a little short for two people our sizes, but anything significantly longer is a lot more money so we make due. The Explorer K2 tracks well using the included skeg and when good paddling technique is used. When we paddle hard and fast in unison, it tracks very straight and is speedy enough. When letting off and ceasing all paddling, it will drift and the rear will start to swing out some. Not a big deal. The materials used seem durable enough for the price point. The only thing we really would like changed would be the inflation valves on...
