Review: Great fun and good quality kayak. - I bought this for my wife and I to use when we are on holiday in her native Italy. We leave it over there ready for use when we visit. Being inflatable I make sure that it is stored properly when we leave, but when it is inflated and used it is very easy to manage in terms of size and weight. Looks great on the water and can deal with modest swells on the sea. Not good though when waves start to break over it as it is low lying and can fill up easily with larger waves crashing over it. Comes with two inflatable and adjustable seats, and two collapsible double- headed paddles. Also includes the directional fin and a small puncture repair kit, although the plastic is quite heavy gauge and shows no signs of wear after several beachings on a pebble beach! There is a cargo covering net on the front and a tethering cable at the rear for holding onto. The front net also allows storage of a few small waterproof bags if needed where you can clip them onto the net for security. It also comes with a decent hand pump for inflation, although it can't be used for deflation, which in my view is surprising and a pity. There are other kayaks which are heavier duty and more professional in terms of design and quality, but for a fairly cheap product, this is actually pretty good quality and is very stable on the water (in coastal waters that are fairly calm). It also looks nice and you get some admiring glances from other beach-goers when it's set up and in use. If you want to transport it for holiday use it's probably best to buy a dedicated luggage trolley-bag but means you will need to pay for an extra bag when travelling on most airlines. However, with the right size bag the kayak and all the bits that go with it can be transported as a pack in a neat way. The carry bag that comes with it is too flimsy for airline use. We've had a lot of fun with it since we bought it and hope to continue to do so. p.s. don't over-inflate it or leave it in the sun fully inflated, both of these can cause bursting of the valves seals or seams resulting in difficult to repair damage. If you do leave it out in the sun just let some of the air out to relieve the pressure.
Review: Absolutely brilliant! - Absolutely brilliant! Faced with the cost of buying two traditional fiberglass kayaks, and then the added cost of a £250 roof rack for my car, I decided to look into buying the Intex Challenger K1. I did a lot of research, read a lot of reviews and watched some videos, I was convinced enough to then buy two. They arrived quickly, were very well packed and had everything needed such as pump, paddle etc. So, my dad & I took them to a nearby river and set them up. Inflation did not take long at all and we were very impressed at how sturdy these kayaks are! We both weight close to 100kgs each and yet the kayaks had no problem at all supporting our weight. They are very stable, easy to maneuver and the back rest is very comfortable indeed. The only advice I would give is to not wear any trainers/shoes in the kayak as your feet get very squashed in the nose of the kayak. I am 5f 7in tall and my feet were wedged, not because of my leg length but because there is not enough room to stick my size 11 feet vertically and so they were bent down at the ankles and that becomes uncomfortable after time. Wear either proper wet shoes or no shoes at all, certainly nothing with a hard inflexible sole. Overall an absolutely brilliant kayak, especially considering the extremely low cost and ease of transport, negating the need for extra costs of roof racks, storage etc. I highly recommend buying these!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi I'm 6'2 and weigh 15 stone. Is this kayak for me?**
A: I disagree with these answers. I am also 6'2 and weigh about 15 and a half stone  and I don't have any problem with it.  You will be more comfortable with a longer paddle than the one included.  It does fishtail and it does sit high in the water (see my review) but it is an inflatable canoe, not a fibre glass one costing ten times the price.  I have paddled it four miles from Exeter Quay to the Turf Locks and back with no real problems.  It's actually surprisingly stable if you don't try to swing it around too much.

**Q: do you need a licence to take it on the river?**
A: Best to get a license from here for most canals and rivers, https://britishcanoeing.azolve.com/Account.mvc/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fWorkbench.mvc%2fShow%2f9%3fcheckout%3d2&checkout=2

**Q: What are the dimensions when packed away for transport?**
A: HiThey pack away quite neatly in there carry bag. When packed away they measure 60cmL x 30cmW x 36cmH. I have a small hatch back and I can easily get 4 in. Please note that you can inflate and get one ready in about 15-20 minutes but it does take longer to deflate and pack away properly. We have had tremendous fun with our Kayaks and are now looking forward to late spring when we can start using them again. Good value for money!

**Q: I am 6'5 and about 12 stone am i too big or will i fit in this kayak?**
A: Hiya i think it would be a squeeze. 5.8 and 10 stone. My mate is about ur hight and hes got the k2

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic when respected
*by G***Y on 17 August 2023*

What’s not to love about this Kayak. It’s cheap sure but that shouldn’t be its one defining quality. It will never be as professional looking or reach the high more stable pressures (psi) of other brands costing hundreds more but this is a capable Kayak if respected. We have used this Kayak in Cornwall both on Sennan Cove and Hayle Gwithian and it handled brilliantly. If there is a swell then be prepared to bucket some water out once you make it out to calmer seas. We purchased a manual bilge pump that worked great for that when out on the water. Just pump and get that water overboard. Paddles are of good length I didn’t find myself hitting the sides of the kayak and I’m by no means tall. Seats are well.. seats, they function as intended not entirely comfortable after a while and I found myself adjusting my legs to a more A frame position. As the rear rower I had more back support. Plenty of storage in this thing, we had a dry bag stashed under the cargo net. We kept the pump and bilge pump in the back compartment. Very stable on the waves, bigger waves hitting you broadside with obviously test your balance so do make sure you hit that surf straight on until you get out of the cresting waves. You will get wet though. Deflating it is easy but you will never get it back to its original size unless you happen to vaccuum the air out of it. This is heavy to carry over a long distance. We are already looking to invest in a sack truck as we purchased two of these so be mindful if your parking away from the launch location. Now for the respect part, do not use this in wind especially off or cross shore wind. This thing will keep going out to sea faster than you can paddle, we witnessed the RNLI make three rescues due to inflatables in windy conditions. Download wind compass apps to check before you use this at sea and always check the lifeguard instructions, Respect that and you will have a great time when the conditions are right. Planning to use this on the River Wye next week hopefully in a more natural setting but for all those sea farers out there go for it but be careful. Remember those life jackets!
