Sevylor Pointer K2 – New Review
The Sevylor Pointer K2 has been added to our tandem recreational inflatable kayak category. It is the first Sevylor that we have done a comprehensive review on.

However the Pointer K2 is worth looking at if you are a brand new kayaker and want an affordable... (Continue reading...)
