Loved the video. Very informative and shows the product off nicely!

Thanks for the review. How long does it generally take to inflate? Do you really need the fin/skeg to track straight?

tranquility - 7 years ago

*****IMPORTANT!!!! *****I am not sure why you didn't mention that there is a valve in the very back that must be closed before getting into the water. Come on dude, that is crucial for ppl to know! It's in the back, it's a white valve that must be closed completely before entering the water. It's on the floor at the back on the floor, in between the v shape.. At the back.

how fast is this compared to hard kayaks?

Danfuerth Gillis - 7 years ago

I bought 2 of these kayaks. Excellent Kayak no doubt about. I took one out solo into Lake Ontario with 4-5 foot waves and it was a blast!!!. Riding this kayak on bigger waves is very different than paddling and riding a hard kayak. You must let the Kayak float down the Waves sideways so that the kayak moulds itself into the wave. Everyone had a blast out in Lake Erie Ontario. We were out at least 2 km off the beach area ( away from the bigger waves). I will not lie here it takes more skill to control the inflatable kayaks ( even with skeg attached) than a normal solid kayak due to the weight factor.

Experiencia personal con este kayak: en menos de 3 meses de uso se despego por la costura del piso generandose una bola que dificultaba la navegacion
a pesar de reiterados llamados al agente de Intex nunca me reconocieron la garantia que era por un año.
muy mala calidad no lo recomiendo

I had a K1 ..and was not that great - chinamade - ..and with the heat in summer seams are opening up and no chance coming with patching behind

Great tip, thanks!

Danfuerth Gillis - 7 years ago

You have to be careful in the hot weather as the air will expand so you can not pump it up completely ( hard when pressed by finger). Usually in 80+ weather I pump it up and my finger goes in easily 1 inch at least. This way the seams last years.

Explorer K2 Kayak or Challenger K2?

Flipsfordays Nolan copenbarger - 7 years ago

Its a intex explorer k2

RSR - 8 years ago

Found a good answer on Amazon:

"I own both kayaks and I would rather go with the Explorer for kayaking, the reason is that the Explorer is self bailing has better seats that raise you out of the water in the bottom of the boat, it has an upturned nose to keep water from splashing you, and the paddles are better quality. I have taken the explorer down a class 3 river in Idaho with no problems. Take the skeg off if you do rivers, will just cause you problems if you don't, mainly you will loose it. Only use the skeg in lakes or ponds"

Love this kayak really fun for out on a lake

Elise Behnke - 9 years ago

Does anyone know if this is self-bailing? Thanks!

Lucio Busa - 9 years ago

It's possible use it alone? One pilot can drive this kayak comfortably or it want necessarily 2 people? Thanks

tranquility - 7 years ago

Lucio Busa I sit in the front when I go alone, I don't like all that boat in front of me and I feel like I have more control that way

Felix Lucchese - 8 years ago

Yes but if only one person is in the kayak they sit in the back

This is an awesome video! I love this brand! I found some more info on this website: www.nauticexpo.com/boat-manufacturer/2-person-kayak-21290.html

Does anyone know where I can find another SKAG/FINN? Mine fell off after the first time! Very frustrating because the manufacturer says that they are out of stock and will be 4 to 6 weeks before they get more in. you would think they would fix this defect, It obviously happens allot or the Skag would not be on back order !..My Kayak did great though, felt very safe and was in the ocean...

How to choose between Challenger K2 and Explorer K2 please ? What is the best ?
Thanks for helping me.

MrCofl1001 - 9 years ago

tx for the comment...acc to specs both can take max. 160 kg...just ordered my challenger last evening since amazon.de charged a ridiculous ammount for shipping the explorer which was my 1-st on the list...we'll see :)

DjVirusPL - 9 years ago

I have Explorer and i try Challenger.
On Explorer u can load more stuff

MrCofl1001 - 9 years ago

Anyone had a chance to try also the challenger kayak? I am still not decided among the two... tx

+DjVirusPL Hi, i just bought this kayak last week and so far my girlfriend and I have used it twice, the second time being a 14km coast trip with a little choppy water. It's a little slower over the waves than a normal solid kayak, but other than that it was great. it's very stable (we both managed to stand in it on a lake. The skeg works really well and make's it easy to control together (without it for us non experienced users not so easy ;) ). As well as portability it has other advantages over a normal kayak, it's much more flexible, if you want just one seat, you only have to put one.. if you want more storage behind and less foot room you can. If you want to lay back in the kayak with someone special, say in the middle of a lake.. you can also.. ;)

As for this model vs the other one, I also had that dilemma and was also attracted to the net of the Challenger.. but i was able to speak to intex Spain directly and they told me that the Explorer was a lot stronger and, in the guys own words, compared to the Challenger, the Explorer made it look more like a toy.

I must say after having used it at sea and seen it in person, I'm glad i bought the Explorer. At the end of the day I'm not so sure the net would be that useful anyway, especially at sea.. it just doesn't look that serious.. like the rest of the kayak. The Explorer has plenty of places both front and back where you can hook small carribeners.. so that's what i've done, I then use strong 3mm cord to tiy things down. I used a waterproof bag (mines for wet suites) and a plastic waterproof container to store stuff.

Can u make some video about this kayak? With will show how many space it got etc?

Bastien Fenderer - 10 years ago

I finally selected the Sevylor Riviera :).
Edit : I bought Intex Challenger K1 and Explorer K2

DjVirusPL - 10 years ago

Same question here. I cant decide. This stoorage net looks nice in Chelenger, but explorer looks stronger.

Smach Hulk - 10 years ago

I have an air compressor and a portable tank to hold 5 gallons@125psi. Is there a way to attach something like that to do most of the filling quickly before switching to the pump?

somanythings - 9 years ago

the only thing i'm facing with compressor: it pumps a hot air throw so by the time the air get colder and smaller in size as a result i don't get the pursuer i need ,, i solve this by having the hose onboard and fill it up later

Ruben Hoffmann - 10 years ago

this, or the challenger k2?

Bruce K - 10 years ago

If you're looking to buy this someplace besides eBay it's available on Amazon as well for $132.95 shipped

Just purchased this kayak two weeks ago and been in the water twice with it and photography gear and my son . very well made inflatable kayak sturdy feel . comfortable seats and adjustable light weight to carry the skeg stays on really tightly . i had a blast on the water with this intex . highly recommend it to anyone who like myself is on a small budget and is an avid outdoorsman . great product . the only thing negative about it is it's made in china =(

han0509 - 7 years ago
