 Great Way to Start Kayaking March 29, 2006

I bought this 2-person SOT and a one-person Coleman along with the charger, and we're very happy with it. We've had two successful outings on a quiet river, and I predict these will also perform well in the intracoastal channels of Padre Island in a few weeks.
We've dragged both over rocks and sticks, no punctures as yet (knock wood). Sturdier and easier to manage than I thought they would be - I'm quite pleased with them, especially considering the price!
I was considering hardshell kayaks, but was reluctant to spend the money and equip my truck with a roof rack before I made sure we liked the sport and would continue.
The paddles that come with the Colemans are pretty flimsy; my next purchase will be some better paddles.
The rechargable inflator is great - stows in the bag with the kayaks and paddles, can be used right at waterside, inflated and deflated both the 2-person and the 1-person without having to be recharged.
I practiced inflating at home before we got out on site - I recommend that practice round to get familiar.

I bought this inflatable kayak primarily because several local adventure races require soft-sided boats. It turns out to be one of the best $100 purchases ever, and I'm using it much more than I had originally thought. I love the ease of rolling it up, tossing it in the car trunk and being ready to hit the water almost anywhere. I've used it in the Gulf of Mexico, in the bay, and little inlets and it handles pretty well, even with a non-paddling passenger. It's a fun way to poke around the wetlands, do some birding, etc.--with its shallow draft you can paddle in literally inches of water. Because it is wider and flatter than most kayaks, the wind will push it a bit, but it's fairly responsive and maneuverable, even fully loaded. Definitely spring for the rechargable inflator, which does the job in less than five minutes. The paddles could be better, but they're OK for the money. This kayak is a great option for someone who'd like to paddle sometimes but doesn't want the hassle of storing a kayak, strapping it to the roof of their car, or dragging it to a launching spot. The price works out to be about the same as just a couple days of kayak rentals, and it opens up so many possibilities of kayaking where there aren't any rentals.
Good stable kayak for your money August 24, 2006

I have never owned a Kayak before so I don't really have anything to reference this too. But since I only bought this for $80 I wasn't expecting anything great. My main objective was to use this for boating on a lake on an upcoming camping trip with me and my husband (I swim, he doesn't).
Upon first opening, it was folded neatly in a box and was easy to remove it and unfold it. Don't forget how it's folded so you can fold it back the same way!
I was already somewhat familiar with Coleman's inflating system (I have their airbeds also) and I wasn't that thrilled with it. It's got a dual locking system where the whole valve pushes into itself and then the typical float type closure.
There are 8 air ports to blow up. 4 ports for the footwell areas. One air port for each seat and two air ports for the main kayak. It's a good design if one of the large main ports should rip while you're kayaking. The other large port would probably keep you afloat.
So I took out my Ozark trail inflater/deflator pump and started inflating. Perhaps since my pump is an inflater/deflator, air kept backflowing out of the other pump port. I was getting frustrated because I couldn't get enough air into it.
On top of that, the valve locking system on these Colemans is somewhat tricky and I was about to return it. By the time you'd get the air pump out of the valve, a huge amount of air was lost.
So I finally figured out a great way to get it inflated easily and I would recommend using this method if you have a problem with the valve locking system. For the footwells and seats, I just manually blew air into them with my good ol' lungs. Believe me, I'm a small woman and it doesn't take much to blow them up. You'll be able to get a lot more air into them using your mouth. Now here's the trick. When it's full, take your tongue and put it into the valve so you get no air backflow. Then just push (with your tongue or head motion) the valve into itself. Then you can close the other air lock.
Since the main air sections (2) are large. I used the pump to get it mostly filled and then blew a little more with my lungs to get it nice and full.
The oars were fairly well made however the instructions to put together the oars were terrible. It just showed a picture. The oars consist of 3 metal tubes and 2 connectors. The metals tubes are supposed to go a certain way and it's up to you to figure this out. No help from the sparse manual here.
The oar holders on the kayak are a joke though. They're a soft rubber C and the oars fell right out when we picked up the kayak to put it into the water.
I was pleasantly surprised at how it worked though. It was easy to get into and it's comfortable (even wearing life vests). There are two storage areas covered by a net. The storage areas are good to put stuff into but don't expect to reach into it while you're on the kayak. It's not gonna happen. You'd probably fall into the water trying to reach them. The cup holders work well and are in a convenient spot.
The kayak is easy to steer and moves fairly decently (for an inflatable) in the water. There's two fins (skegs?) on the bottom. One was slightly twisted (from being in the box) but it didn't seem to affect the performance at all.
I overall like this kayak alot. It's great for recreation and good for people who are afraid of the water because it's very stable.
It's a good deal for the money!

Bought this kayak because we are new to kayaking and didn't want to spend $400+ for something we wouldn't use if we didn't like it. It's very easy to set up, my 11 yr old daughter and I can get this out and on the water in >10 min. using the rechargeable pump! It's very stable and 110% more comfortable than a kayak we rented on vacation! Don't be fooled by the picture, I'm almost 6' and fit comfortably in the rear seat.
July 2007:Bought this Sept. 2006. Found it so good bought another double and a single so we have enough seats for everyone to go paddling. Recently took a friend and her 11y/o son out because she wanted something more stable than a canoe. Best recommendation is that after 1 afternoon of paddling with us, they ordered one for themselves and we try to take them out at least once a week. Would still recommend this Kayak without reservation!

My wife and I took this Coleman inflatable kayak out for the first time today on Lake Ray Hubbard in the DFW area. I received it Wednesday in a very compact box and inside, it had the kayak, instructions, and 2 kayaking oars that came in 7 pieces each. These went together quickly, and come with collars that separate each oar into 3 pieces for easy transport and storage.
When I unfolded the kayak for the first time I was really amazed at just how big it is. I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'7". Both of us fit very comfortably and there is probably enough leg room for someone up to about 6'6" or so to feel really comfortable. There is a storage area in the front and the back that's triangular in shape. We brought along some snacks and drinks in a plastic bag, but I'd be willing to bet you could get a small cooler in there as well.
As for performance on the water, it worked better than I had expected. We launched from the shore over some floating debris and the sides barely displaced 2" of water with a combined weight of 320 between us. It was very stable to get into and out of because it's wide and has seems that allow the side air pockets to pivot and stay still while the bottom moves as you move around. It was a little slow over the water because of the same width and it's also because of the width that I have my only gripe. The included oars are a bit short for the size of this boat, which means you are going to get wet if you plan on getting anywhere in a decent amount of time... you are forced to swing the oars over so far that the opposite oar drips right on top of you.
We did encounter some boat wake, and it took that no problem straight on and at an angle. I would not be surprised if it even took a parallel wake without flipping. It just feels that stable. I wouldn't recommend taking it out in a lot of chop, however... the kayak does move and gyrate a whole lot when you encounter different levels of water.
Blowing up and packing couldn't be any easier. I bought an Ozark Trail large volume hand pump from Walmart to make my life easier, and I was able to fully inflate the kayak in just over 6 minutes from empty. There are numbers on each of the 8 valves that tell you the order to inflate in. Deflating for me was as easy as undoing all of the valves and rolling the kayak one way, then unrolling and rolling the other way. It collapsed on it's own to a size small enough for even the smallest trunk.
I expect to get a lot of use out of the kayak this summer. It's very fast to set up and a lot of fun... just remember that the oars are going to get you wet.
