Information on Inflatable Kayaks and Canoes
The Inflatable Kayak is a great option for paddlers who do not have a lot of storage or carrying capacity. Inflatable kayaks pack down to fit in a storage bag that you can easily fit in your trunk and store in your closet. No need for roof racks! Many come with a self bailing drain valve. They can weigh as little as 26lbs. and can be inflated in about 10 minutes using a foot pump.
You can purchase an inflatable kayak designed for whitewater or flat water kayaking. Inflatable kayak prices can range from under one hundred dollars to a thousand dollars. Just remember the lower end range many not have the quality and be as durable as you many want in your inflatable kayak. As always, do your homework.
If you are interested in inflatable boats, check out these options from Sea Eagle. They have been selling inflatable kayaks/canoes/boats since 1968. Their inflatable boats come with a three year warranty.
