More About the Aire Outfitter I

The Aire Outfitter I is a fantastic whitewater inflatable kayak for the beginner to novice kayaker although it has not gained the popularity that other Aire kayaks have.  

It was designed for a low center of gravity and offers excellent stability and control for new kayakers on their first whitewater trip. In fact this kayak is often used by commercial outfitters (hence the name) who want a super stable inflatable kayak for their customers.

The Aire Outfitter I inflates very easily and set up time is minimal.  You can expect to get wet, even in minor waves, but there are ‘bail holes’ around the edges of the bras so that any water that gets in will quickly run out.

Great Whitewater Inflatable Kayak for Newbies

If you are fairly new to whitewater kayaking and want an inflatable kayak that can go with you anywhere as well as give you ultimate stability in the rapids, the Outfitter will be perfect for your needs.

With its ten year warranty it will last a very long time and possibly even be great for resale should you ever want to move on to a more advanced whitewater inflatable kayak. The Aire Outfitter also comes in a tandem version, the Aire Outfitter II, if you want the option of kayaking with a partner or the ability to bring along more gear.
