Review: Sturdy, Fun - I’m new to kayaking. I had resisted for years, thinking it to be a confining death trap. Then my FOMO got the best of me. I tried it and, turns out I’m a kayaker. Not the kind who buys a hard-sided rig with all the accoutrements. I can rent those for longer or more difficult water. For local paddles in smooth water this kayak is perfect for me. As its product description states, it’s not for rapids. This is no problem for me as I wouldn’t be comfortable doing those even with a hard-sides kayak. I have two friends with the same kayak who let me try theirs first. I hoped I wouldn’t feel as though I was paddling around in a blow up mattress. Happily this kayak feels pretty substantial for an inflatable. Enough so that I purchased mine, on sale to boot. I think mine is an improvement over the friends’ models. The valves on my model (purchased in late 2021) are much easier to cap when filling and, more importantly, to open when deflating. I live in a warm climate but my fingers are often chilled and tired at the end of a paddle, when I most want to break down and leave quickly. By contrast with the borrowed kayak, I can open the valves myself without resorting to a tool fashioned from PVC that my friend uses to open her valves. Set up is surprisingly easy with the supplied air pump. It’s faster than getting an electric air pump. It is a bit of a work out. I try to think of it as a warm up before paddling. If I could wave my magic wand, the pump’s foot stem would be longer so I could stand up straight. I tried sitting on a camp chair but it works best and fastest standing. OP have mentioned this in their reviews and I concur; I, too, have waved my behind embarrassingly a few times, finding just the right back-saving position when pumping up my kayak. Still, it’s a matter of about 15 minutes to get it ready to go. I am 5’ 8”. The length is a bit stunted for me if I put the uterus-shaped float thingy in the bow. It is meant to keep the kayak from dipping in front. I use it for this reason but it does take up precious foot room. The seat is comfortable enough. There are Velcro strips and straps to keep it in place. Because I have to move the seat back as it will go so I can have leg room, I must sit bolt upright. I have a 6’ 3” buddy who wanted to try mine to see if he wanted one. We came to the conclusion that anyone taller than me would be happiest with the two-seater, using only one seat. Happily there is a two-seater version. The paddle is decent to get started. I plan to purchase something more suited to my skills but the included one is easy to assemble and will get you moving. I keep my supplies, including the pump and small repair kit for just-in-case, in a dry bag which I lash to my kayak with the net. There’s no space inside the kayak for stuff but this works for me. Another upgrade I plan to make is to add lights. We often paddle on a town lake after dark. It’s not easy but I found I can use my bike lights. It takes a bit of faffing to get the lights pointed correctly, especially to the rear. Sometimes I just wear my headlamp backwards with the red light on. It’s very durable for the way I use it. I haven’t tested the durability in places that might be rocky or with sharp trees, mainly because those are far enough distant that I prefer to rent hard-sided. Not a knock against this kayak, I think it would hold up. It just takes up a lot of space. While easy to transport locally, for longer trips that might include luggage and several people, it takes up too much room. I bought IKEA bags with straps that I use instead the included carry bag. The shape of the bags make folding up (dry, never, never store it wet) easier. It also means I can never fold it the same way twice, a good thing so as not to stress a fold and develop leaks. Overall I’m happy with my purchase. And even happier when I’m on the water in minutes.
Review: Watch the Review Videos!! - If you’re thinking about trying kayaking but don’t know if it’s something you’re gonna want to stick with past a single summer, this really is a great way to test the waters. ((full pun intended)) It’s cheap, easy, and if you decide you don’t like it, you don’t have a giant plastic boat laying around you have to try and sell… Take the time to dry and fold it up after each use in the handy carry bag they provide and it’s super convenient to toss one ((or more)) in the truck of a small car and go off on adventure. No giant roof racks you have to install on your car and pray it doesn’t scratch the paint. No trying to manhandle a bulky heavy boat possibly by yourself… I know a lot of people gave poor reviews to this inflatable kayak because it’s inflatable, but honestly, all I can think is they must not have been doing it right because things went fantastic from the first time out. Luckily, I guess for me, I was very excited to try kayaking, but skeptical of an inflatable boat. So in addition to reading reviews here on desertcart, I also watched the “unboxing” videos other customers provided. This turned out to be a blessing because in doing so I learned you want to inflate the boat past what you think you need to. Also that there’s TWO Boston valves you need to fill and one is hidden inside the boat. A lot of people complain about maneuvering and it sinking but I’ve learned that comes from not inflating the boat enough. This isn’t a pool tube, you need to make sure it has enough air to function right. Basically, use your little powered air pump to fill it as far as it will go, then use the provided foot pump to give it 8-12 more pumps. You will have a much stiffer boat that’s easier to use. As for the handling, I’m not sure it would be the best for river rapids where rocks or branches could cause it to pop, but for some weekend lake paddling it’s super nice, and a ton of fun! It can be a little hard to squeeze in and out of, especially if you’ve got long legs like me ((I’m 5’10”)) but after a few tries I got the trick of it, and can even pull my legs out in the water and straddle the boat to cool off. The videos and other review also mentioned good ways to dry your kayak before deflation so it doesn’t get musty in storage. One thing they don’t tell you as an inexperienced kayaker:: it WAY easier to get in from the ground than a dock. Take the boat out into the water about a foot deep so the fin doesn’t scrape the bottom of the lake. Straddle the boat and lower yourself down. Then bring your legs in. Far less chance of tipping all over the place. The paddle is decent. Compared to the paddles provided by different inflatable kayak companies my friends got their boats from, this one is a real nice quality. Neither the paddles nor the pole are super flimsy and the paddles are rounded for easy movement. They will also float for moment so you don’t have to panic if you drop it in the water. I can easily get up a nice little bit of speed with it. Wouldn’t try and use it for competition kayaking or anything, but all in all this whole set up is exactly what I said. A nice, inexpensive way to test out kayaking and see if it’s for you before dropping huge amounts of money on big plastic boat you have to store, clean, mount to the roof of your car, etc… If I had a single complaint about this boat it’s that my friends’ boats had places to pop the paddle in and hold it on the side of their boats, while I have to juggle mine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi! I'd like to purchase an Intex Challenger K1 Kayak. How long does it take to inflate, assemble, disassemble and deflate? thank you!**
A: I had the same question and this setup video was super helpful for me: https://youtu.be/6sKhIEEFxSY b/c u can watch a high school girl inflate and assemble everything in real-time (shows you how do-able it really is).  Personally I was getting confused hearing everyone's opinion on how long it would take but watching someone, I could judge a lot easier :) I've found that just the Kayak can be inflated in about 3 min.  And then inflating the other items, assembling the paddle, etc. can all be done in about 7-8min or under 10min no problem. And one helpful trick when deflating it is to approach it like you're rolling air out of an air mattress. Doing that works a lot better than trying to fold up the Kayak to get the air out. Hope that helps!

**Q: how does it work in a river were it can drag on rocks at times**
A: I've now had this particular kayak for 3 years. and i had the model right before it for 2 years(gave to a friend). both have held up wonderfully to everything including being beached and scooting my self and the kayak across the shallow rocks, i've run into twigs and branches, over submerged logs and snails and run into other sharp edges with absolutely no cuts or tears, no slow leaks. and not only am i not easy on this thing, i myself weigh 40 lbs over the weight limits and i usually carry 20-30 lbs of stuff with me on it. i absolutely love this thing, it easily fits back in its bag and goes in the trunk. when/if it ever pop's i will be getting another one.

**Q: IS THIS PRODUCT DURRABLE?**
A: I've had mine for just over a year and used it 10 times (1x on the river and 9x in lakes). I've been pretty careful not to rub on rocks or anything and always store in a cool shed, but do empty and fold up after each use. Now there is a hole, along a seam on the bottom that won't hold the patches provided. Hopefully using HH-66 vinyl cement like has been recommended will fix the issue.

**Q: We lost the removable skeg on our Intex Challenger K2 Kayak and were wondering if we could buy a replacement part?**
A: If you're looking for the 6" skeg I can confirm that 12181 on the Intex website fits. As of 7/1/19 it's $3 for one and shipping is $5.  https://www.intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/sporting-goods/sport-series-boats/kayaks/12181-skeg-for-kayaks/
