- Inflatable SUP Kayak Hybrid Comparison Review - Aqua Marina | Spinera | Costway GoPlus -
As far as I'm aware at the time of upload, these are the only 3 of this type of boat available here in the UK. This is a comparison between all 3 showing you the pros and cons and the things I've done with them.
Kit seen/used in this video -
Costway GoPlus - amzn.to/3pRHHCN
Spinera SK10 - amzn.to/3MG7Kor
Aqua Marina Cascade - amzn.to/42QjxHj

Got a GoPlus last winter after watching loads of your videos and finally got to use it a couple of weeks ago in Scotland. Absolutely loved it and am hooked so now looking for places to paddle local to me in north Lincs
Excellent, I'm glad you're enjoying it 😁 and so many canals and rivers close by to you - Chesterfield Canal, River Ancholm, to name a couple.
Great comparison, Karl👍 Surprising how stable the are! Especially 2-up at the end! 😂👍
They really are fabulous crafts and by far my favourite out of my fleet 😊
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner I did enjoy your buying justification....I bought one and was really impressed, so bought two more expensive ones just to make sure! 😉
@@DesGreene 🤣🤣🤣 one had to be certain 🤣
Excellent review. I’m just getting into kayaking and loving the videos
Fantastic :) Have you got one yet?
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner not yet. We did a taster and have rented one a couple of times to make sure I liked it. I’m leaning towards the go plus, all the reviews I’ve looked at seem to rate it and it’s not ridiculously priced.
@@garyward9017 it's a great value for money craft. You might have seen in my first review that I don't rate the paddle and pump but the boat alone is worth the money 👍😁
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner bought a Sea Eagle SE 370 to out with the Mrs or granddaughter. Just ordered a Aqua Marina Cascade as I've found one brand new on offer for £436.
Plenty of information very interesting
Cheers bud :D
Amazing infos great video mate ...what about differences with drop stich kayaks ? Is there any advandage over them for sea use ? As the price is near
I'm glad you like the video. These are a bit like paddle boards on the sea in that they're very stable. If the water is choppy you are likely to get water in the cockpit and even if the cockpit was totally full it wouldn't sink but you'd be sat in it. Therefore some kind of bilge option is useful, however a bilge should be standard on any sea craft really.
I'm assuming you're asking what they're like in comparison to a 3 panel DS boat? I can't say because I haven't tried mine on the sea, however there are plenty of people on CZcams or in the FB groups who have. From what I've seen they prefer to go out on calm seas, which to be honest that should be the standard regardless of the type of craft.
For me personally, knowing the 3 panel crafts are generally less stable, I'd prefer the hybrid.
I hope that helps 😁
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner thank you mate ...so as i am a little overweight i supose that there is an advantage in term of stability for the cascade ...
@@KeramidakisDimitris Yes absolutely.
Nah then, ay up me duck.
Once again you provide yet another interesting alternative to the standard inflatable kayak, very useful for an amateur like me in the market for a kayak.
You asked what I'd been looking at on another post, sorry I'm only just getting back to you on that. I think for me it's got to be your standard inflatable, a two man for the extra storage space as I plan on doing some kayak camping and am also a large fella. Ideally drop stitch and one that's comfy for a big fella. Budget is still unfortunately an issue as I've now been signed off work for over a year due to my mental health but I'm definitely on thy look out. Again, thanks for an interesting and informative video my friend 👍🙂
The Spinera in this style is also available in a 2 person and I believe a 3 person version is available too. Stable, robust, capable of carrying a ton (not literally 🤪) of gear. However if budget is an issue this might not work. I'd suggest one of the Itiwits. Although popular I've never had one though.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner
I must admit the Itiwit's are a popular choice for me as there's a ton of them out there, they do a drop stitch one and there's also a Decathlon literally just up the road from me in the car. Funnily enough I got talking to lovely couple earlier today on one of the local canals *Erewash; and they had hired an Itiwit from Decathlon for the day, something I didn't know Decathlon did.
@@Adventures_with_Sog might be worth trying in that case 😁👍
Just ordered the GoPlus tandem kayak. Very happy with it
Is that the one with the wider tubes?
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner yes sir. I believe it is 37inches wide and 12.5ft long.
@@earthbender79 did you get that in the UK? If so have you got a link please? 😁
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner sorry buddy I live in Ohio USA. Kenton Ohio to be specific. I ordered directly from the GoPlus site online. I went with the red model myself not the blue.
Gotcha, cheers :D
Anybody had any experience in surf with any of these inflatables? Looking for an all rounder that can be used in moderate surf. A more upturned front seems preferable as they dont dig in/nose dive throwing you off once paddling to catch the wave.
I have done a sea paddle in The Brent although it was really calm. I think with these, as long as you carry some sort of bilge you'll be fine. It's just getting past the breakers 😁
I'm curious which of the two will combine high stability and speed and which is higher: Ottawa aquatec Double or Advanced Elements AirVolution 2. ????
That would be an interesting test 👍😊
Which of these two kayaks do you think would be safer?
Have you tried a clip on seat on a standard paddle board?
No, I don't have a trad SUP.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner I have a cheap kayak seat on my board, works a treat. The paddle is interchangeable for paddle board or kayaking too.
@@jamiehodgson2026 I know some people have done that. Bobby Dazzler in my videos tried it once on his and didn't like it.
@@jamiehodgson2026 yep ive a SUP and a hybrid, I much prefer the SUP with my Thurso seat than the hybrid.
You need to test this kayak...TIGERXBANG 10.2'x35''x8'' Inflatable Kayak. Thanks
Aye I've considered it.
Which of these two kayaks do you think would be safer?
I'd rate them all similarly. They're similar widths and lengths with flat hulls. There's little variation.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner The Ottawa is 83 cm wide and the AirEvolution 2 is 94 cm wide. The Ottawa is 40 cm deep. With AirEvolution 2, I couldn't find anywhere in the specification how deep it is...
@@---sf5cf I'm a bit confused here. You're commenting about the Ottawa and Airvolution on a video about 3 different kayak hybrids. My initial reply was in reference to this video.
I like the Spinera, but the price is way too high when you compare it to things like the Aquatec Ottowa. Not many videos on youtube for them, so I bet they probably don't sell a lot.
I think you might be right :)
Is the Cascade faster than the others? It better be because those colours are awful…
Lol you don't like it? I don't mind the colour. Anyway, whilst I haven't formally speed tested them against each other, the Spinera is definitely the slowest of the 3. There won't be a lot in it between the GoPlus and Aqua Marina.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner thanks again, Bud!
