Cheap Inflatable Kayaks

I would classify a cheap inflatable kayak as one that can be purchased for under $500. Sometimes we don’t want to spend a lot of money on a boat if we are not going to become avid kayakers. If you are looking for an inflatable kayak to pull out a few times a year for some paddling fun or perhaps to bring along with you on camping trips with the family you may not want to invest a lot of money.

There are some really excellent choices for inflatable kayaks that cost less than $500 that will last a fairly long time. Just because you are not spending a $1000 or more does not mean that you will be getting a glorified pool toy. Inflatable kayaks have come a long way as far as quality and performance are concerned and there are some really good name brand cheap inflatable kayaks. Read more

Coleman Exponant Fastback – New Review

We have added a new inflatable kayak review to our list of solo recreational flatwater kayaks. The Coleman Exponant Fastback is advertised as a whitewater inflatable kayak but as there are no self-bailing drain valves, it is much better suited as a flatwater kayak.

The Fastback is not a super performer, it is very much a beginner’s kayak. It is highly affordable and would work fine for someone who just wants to be able to get out on the water and have some fun. However, remember that you get what you pay for and even though this kayak offers a lot of great features, it is definitely at the low end of the totem pole as far as inflatable kayaks go. That being said, it is compact and portable and may be perfect for someone who has never kayaked before.  Read full review of Coleman Exponant Fastback.
