More About the Aire Lynx II
The Aire Lynx II is the tandem version of the Aire Lynx. It is one of the more expensive 2 person inflatable kayaks on the market, but it is completely worth it. The Lynx II is a couple of feet longer than the Lynx and just slightly wider. It weighs an extra seven pounds and can hold an extra 125 pounds. This is the perfect whitewater kayak for two people who plan on paddling together or for one person who wants to carry a lot of gear.
Even with the Lynx’s higher price, it is still one of the best selling inflatable river kayaks and is extremely versatile and stable. The great thing about the tandem model is that it can punch through waves and holes that the solo version cannot. However because of its length it will perform best in class III rapids or less as it can get difficult to turn in anything more… but not impossible if you have the skill. The Lynx II is about as rugged as they come and the performance is bar none. Please read the full review for the Aire Lynx I for much more detail on how this kayak performs.
