Patching a 1.5" Hole in an Inflatable kayak - 4 product comparison
For the test I used a pillow from Intex Excursion Pro.
From what I understand though it's pretty representative for any vinyl materials. And that's what most kayaks are made of.

Sealing a pin hole in inflatable kayak. 3 product comparison
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 3 lety
I used an inflatable pillow from Intex Excursion Pro for this experiment. That's the kayak that 's most likely to have holes of this type. But pretty much all flat water kayaks are made of pretty similar materials, and I think that this test is relevant for vast majority of them.

This is just my opinion and observations on this kayak. I am not affiliated with any manufacturers and have no financial interest in kayaks. I just want (more) people to enjoy the water (more). meetup.com/pdx-inflatables

A million and a billion sound similar. But they are hugely different! Did you know that US dollar banknotes contain no paper?

the weight capacity is part of why I'm looking at a sea eagle; I'm upper 200s myself. And their 330 is rated to 500 which is a nice margin. The intex ones are mostly all rated to low 200s until you get to the tandems.
Was hoping he was going to review the ones in the yard.
Paddling 2 singles is also a relationship tester. As if one person is a stronger paddler, the other might get frustrated you re Lev them behind.
Have read the sea eagle and similar drop-stitch kayaks can have issues cracking at where they fold.
I love the bit of wisdom on the boating with a date 😁 so true
Thank you for this informative video. So helpful!
INTEX explorer 2 is better. I thought too paddling and having my seat on the far end. You need to have your seat positioned in center of the kayak for one person for best performance!!! Remember it's a two person kayak but while paddling one person the seat has to be in center. You get the best performance!! And the kayak then floats straight, doesn't swerve side to side 😊
transport is a big reason I'm looking at getting them. We have a nice canoe but it's a pain to load and move. And driving 3-4 hours with a canoe on your roof is just deeply unfun in heavy traffic. Then you add in the fact we have 2 adults and 2 kids, and man. Moving two tandems or four solos is just...ugh
It's not often when I watch 20 min video till the dnd. With this guy, I watched it all. Smart, to the point.
Hej, that was such a great review! Wish you could also review all the European brands we have here 😅
Great video ! Have you heard about the Razor kayaks ? They look great on the paper but in France nobody knows Razor. Maybe you know ? Or someone else knows ? Tks
Just got a sea eagle 370 for $150 on marketplace today, excited to take it out
Thanks for a very informative video! 😎 You've really helped me make a decision.
Very informative, hopefully sometime in the near future I'll get one.
Im new to kayaking, I hope I got a good one lol..
A big advantage of most Sea Eagle kayaks is the ability to add a Bixby motor to the bottom in seconds and have an e-kayak.
Great Job….thank you. I just purchased the Intex Challenger K1 kayak because I got into rc ( radio control boats) and figured if the boat dies out in the water, I can now retrieve it. I hope my idea works!
Any opinions on Bote ?
Thank you so much for this analysis. We've loved canoeing rentals in the past, but can't afford a canoe, or a category 3 IK. We were tempted to buy a Category 1 Tobin Wavebreak from Costco, but saw a video that said it took 3 days to dry out. We're now leaning towards the Intex Excusrion Pro 2. My wife and I like to paddle together, and want to store the IK indoors. We really appreciate your taking the time to do this video!

good content!
What we the buyers need is to know how stable a craft is how it performs in the water in different types of water and how easy is it tio paddle, stop waffling on and actually show something worthwile.
Even if you get cheap cat 1 kayak and it pops you can just repair it
Decathlon
Good kayaks, pain in the backside to dry though
Thanks for your this comprehensive overview of inflatable kayaks!
I really appreciate your honest and thorough reviews.
By far the best overview video out there.
Thanks so much for making these videos! Appreciate your genuine, general positivity in all aspects. Would love to see another video with newer updates! 💛
What scares me is that these companies are mostly about making as much money as possible. They lie about their products. I’d bet that a large number of these inflatables are made in the same factory and shipped to different sellers under different names but are of the same quality just a couple different features. I know this is true of many outdoor products. It’s time to take control of our impulses and rely on people like you to point out the truth !
What level grit sand paper is okay to use?
Thanks so much This was super helpful! Did you buy the vinyl patches separately
good job, great help,thanks lot!
Good video, very helpful. I just started to look into inflatables.
Very informative video. Can you comment on how the footbraces in the Sea Eagle Razor Lite compare with the more common footrests found in most inflatables which stetch between two D rings?
Thanks for this video! I'm considering buying the 473rl to paddle solo, and am just wondering if you find it hard to maneuver solo, especially when filled with camping gear? And also, are you able to adjust the placement of the seat so that it's closer to the middle?
I don't get it. Why are you not talking about Kokopelli and Alpaca packraft kayaks?
Wow , excellent video, what about the Decathlon ones?
Considering a 2 seater, but paddling alone....good idea??
I hope one day CZcams will only allow videos like yours uploaded. So much insightful. Thank you for 20 mins and years of dedication for kayaking.
i had bad luck with advanced elements. 2 light weight ones had repeated tubes, that you use to blow it up, broke. my friend has a a.e. that the tubes at the seem keep getting holes.
Bula from Fiji well what can I say: its a really great documentary about kayaks but: a completely disagree with the brand sevylor : I bought me appr. 9-10 years ago one of their really cheap reef sit on top kayak and it has being ever since then with me!! Europe ,India, Thailand, Sri lanka, Vietnam , Tonga, Vanuatu, New Zealand and now in Fiji. I always took it as luggage with me on the plane cause its not heavy ... the pump I bought locally in each county. At the moment it serves as a tender for my motorboat!... it s still working but reaching the end of her life. There is one thing with this inflatable Kayaks when using them in saltwater: always rinse them down and store them when not in use out of the sun and dont borrow it to someone else!
LMAO They like you over boating lmao
I live in Portland
I saw a nice one in Costco made by Eddie Bauer but I can't find any info about. I wonder if it is rebranded.
Where is your amazon list man
Excellent
One of the most useful videos on kayaks I have found.
SO very helpful!!
This was the best youtube video I have ever watched
