About this deal

If you are worried about any weight imbalances, then we hope that I-Beam Centered will put your mind to ease because it keeps the kayak stable and rigid. Even if two people sit in the Intex Explorer K2 and one person is heavier than the other, the beam will ensure that it supports both and stabilizes the construction. In addition, all products are 100% tested to be airtight before leaving the factory. This ensures excellent stability, safety, durability, and performance. Durability An inflatable kayak is practically unsinkable that’s why it’s perfect for casual kayakers or beginners. Some would even say that it’s more reliable and stable to ride than hard-shelled kayaks. That’s probably up to debate and would also depend on skill and experience.

The performance of Intex Explorer K2 is average. That means that it lies between the gray area of being a good or lousy kayak. It's effortless to control Intex Explorer K2 on calm waters. However, it doesn't go too fast, no matter how hard you paddle. This might be due to the design of its hull that doesn't reduce drag, which the surface tension of water applies.A similar inflatable kayak is the Intex Challenger K2. The biggest difference is the design. We have also an article where we compare both boats: Intex Challenger vs. Intex Explorer. 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.

Intex knows one thing in the world and that is to make quality inflatables. They make all sorts of inflatables including airbeds, above-ground pools, and of our interests the kayaks. Personally, I prefer using an old fashioned hand pump to fill up my boat. Electric pumps can save your breath, but hand pumps deliver more force, which you need to make the kayak’s hull as stiff as possible.

Top 10 best inflatable kayaks to buy

If you are on a budget, this inflatable kayak is the ideal choice for you, leaving you with spare cash for you to spend on accessories if needed. The inflatable seat itself is unusually supportive and comfortable for an inflatable system. Inside the kayak, there’s plenty of legroom for kayakers of most sizes. Mold is another scourge that can ruin a fancy inflatable boat when they are rolled up wet. We highly suggest storing an inflatable indoors and dry in a relatively temperature controlled setting. The kayak weighs 14kgs, is 3.40m long and just over 1m wide. It is made of 3 main bladders, 1 for each side and 1 for the wide floor. This setup improves the kayak’s stability. There are 2 other bits to inflate, which are the seats. Once inflated the seats are very comfortable and add height to the seating position, improving the paddling experience.
