4Serves the purpose - once you get the skeg
By Jian Gao
We bought this kayak for a recent trip to Cape Cod. Used is in a bay with mild current and wind for about a week. Here are the things I like about this product:

- Easy to carry, set up and store. - This is the most important part about an inflatable kayak.
- The materials appears to be sturdy and the appearance is great.
- The paddle can be separated into three pieces and very easy to fit into any spaces in the car.
- The storage bag that comes with it is large enough that things fit in pretty easily.

Here comes my major issue: to get the kayak to go straight, a skeg is a MUST! The manufacture should announce that black and white in large font. You can still paddle it but it takes a lot effort. If there are two people in the kayak, the body weight helps to sink the kayak deeper and paddling straight becomes a little easier. That being said, the skeg should definitely help based on other reviewers' feedback.

There are a couple other things to bring up. More of user experience than concerns:

- The storage bag has holes to fit in a string/rope to pull/close the openning; you might want to add the rope to make carrying easier.
- There are two types of inflation holes. The smaller ones are tricky to handle. You need to pull the hole nose out before you can inflate them. Once inflated, the hole noses need to be pressed down while the pump is still running to void air leaking. Once the hole is pressed down, then you can pull out the pump and put in the cap - more as a safty measure.
- Recommend use an electronic pump with the right connectors for both inflating and deflating.

Overall, this is a good product for leisure usage. Buy it together with the skeg and you'll be good to go!

5Fabulous Kayak
By Leslie M Johnson
This kayak was easy to blow up and very sturdy. My husband and my father (both 250+) paddled it, as well as myself and mother at the same time. WONDERFUL for the price. I would definitely recommend it!

1Don't waste your time with this thing!
By Zinner
We bought this on a whim for a recent camping trip, hoping to be able to explore the lake in something that would fit in the trunk of the car. Not a good idea, although Amazon's delivery was superb (ordered at 2pm, arrived next day at 10:45am- and we live in the sticks!)
Pros: Cheap, packs small, probably fine for kids fooling around in warm water or a pool.
Cons: Impossible to steer- although apparently the "Sevylor Skeg" will fix that for an extra $25. They should have said that before trying to paddle to anywhere except in a circle! Or better yet --charge a little more and include it! Seat backs give zero support so it is very hard to paddle effectively. We had to use an air compressor to pump it up effectively- our battery powered mattress pump didn't have enough puff for safe use. The valves for the main air compartments are well designed, but the floor and seat ones are impossible- the compartments don't hold a lot of air anyway and it is very diificult to get the stopper in without losing most of the air first.
