      It's highly valuable to us to be able to keep these 2 boats in our trunk and get on the water in only minutes. Even if we had hard boats, I realistically wouldn't use them as often, as I'd have to strap them onto the Subaru after getting them out of storage. The price is an understandable *gulp* but it's all about the individual's intent and needs!

    at a boat show then found that since I was out of shape I could not lift my myself up with my arms. They had to start taking the boat apart around me like shucking a clam. Nothing wrong with that boat you see it was me. The sales lady was so kind as I told her I was sorry for drawing a crowd of people to their booth for wrong reason. She said they were in the process of designing one with a bigger cockpit. This must be the one. Thanks for sharing this video.

    I had never heard of these or even knew origami kayaks existed until this video. About 1/4 the way through I knew I had to have one! I waited around awhile because we’re going into winter but finally told myself it was time when I saw the back order times creeping up over the last few months. Lead time was 5 - 8 weeks already when I grabbed my Inlet. I think the price is right on given the convenience. And since I used the 0% financing option it’s easier to swallow in payments each month. After all, I spend more on drive through coffees. I’m so pumped!

  • @meinthewild
    @meinthewild Před 4 lety +31

    If you do get a puncture, is there a patch kit? And how reliable is the patch? I’m used to patching canoes. I really like the fact that the Oru’s have such a wide flat bottom. I normally avoid kayaking because they roll so easily. And while I understand that the price point is a turn off for some people, a well made canoe will cost as much or more and you need roof racks to transport it, storage at home and a second strong person to load and unload it. There was a time that I could load a canoe myself, but those days are gone. The timing of this video is perfect for me. I have a small inflatable old emergency life boat from an ex-boyfriends airplane, but I worry about its integrity given its age and it doesn’t easily hold my dog and there’s the inflation issue. I’m going to give the Oru’s some serious consideration. Thanks!!! 🙌🏻👍🏼😍

    • @meinthewild
      @meinthewild Před 4 lety +7
