Spotlight: Aire Super Lynx Inflatable Kayak

The Aire Super Lynx is a versatile, high quality, tandem inflatable kayak that is backed by one of Aire’s awesome 10 year warranties. The Super Lynx paddles well on flat water but can also handle some moderate whitewater. It is long enough to fit two people plus a fair amount of gear and it can hold up to 600 lbs. For this reason it is ideal for multi-day kayaking trips and family outings. The price is a little steeper... (Continue reading...)

What to Look For in an Inflatable Kayak Review

Anyone can leave a review on a product and opinions can differ dramatically. Inflatable kayaks tend to be a larger purchase and it is not always possible to see one in person before you buy. Sometimes you have to rely on online information and reviews as well as pictures to help make your decision. The fact that you may not be able to see and test out a model in person means that you really have to do your homework. There... (Continue reading...)

New Review: Sevylor Rio Inflatable Canoe

We have added a new review this week for the Sevylor Rio inflatable canoe. This is one of the few solo inflatable canoes on the market and is ideal for traveling, fishing and recreational use.

I like the Rio quite a bit. It is not the best... (Continue reading...)

Nelson Camping Trip with my Inflatable Kayak

I took advantage of this beautiful long weekend to go camping and kayaking in Nelson, BC with my friend Lisa and her dog Ellie. Nelson is located in the Selkirk Mountains on the West Arm of Kootenay Lake in the Southern Interior of BC.

I have kayaked on Kootenay Lake several... (Continue reading...)

New Review: Infinity Orbit 245 Inflatable Kayak

One more new inflatable kayak review has been added this week… the Infinity Orbit 245 made by Harmony. This kayak has been added to the flat water inflatable kayak category. The Orbit is only 8 feet long and weighs a mere 19 pounds. I figured it would be fun to paddle but I did not expect it to perform as well as it did. For the size and weight of this model, the Orbit tracked really quite well and was able to pick... (Continue reading...)

New Review: Zoik AlterEgo Solo Inflatable Kayak

The Zoik AlterEgo is designed to be paddled... (Continue reading...)

Paddling with an Inflatable Kayak Newbie

I was out kayaking the other day with my friend and drumming teacher Trevor. He had never paddled an inflatable kayak before and was interested in trying it out. In the past he had spent summers enjoying the lake here on a motor boat but has since given up using motorized vehicles on the water. He thought an inflatable kayak might be a great way to enjoy the lake again and introduce paddling to his son. Like me he thought... (Continue reading...)
