Q: How durable are they? Will they deflate easily?
submitted by Jordan - 6 years ago
A: Hello, I used this kayak and paddled around Lake Tahoe last summer. I thought it seemed quite durable and safe. It deflates easily and you need to allow time to try before packing it away. I liked it for the low cost and ease of transportation, carrying, and storage. For reference, I am a 60 year old lady in decent shape and drive a Mini Cooper, so storage is at a premium.
submitted byKathy - 6 years agoA: Thank you for your inquiry. The kayak is constructed of rugged vinyl and is meant for lakes & mild rivers.

Q: Does this work in the ocean?
submitted by Amie - 6 years ago
A: Thank you for your inquiry. This kayak is US Coast Guard ID - NMMA Certified. The manufacturer does not provide a recommendation for which bodies of water this would and would not work with.
submitted byVMInnovations - 6 years agoBrand expertA: I have use it in the ocean or lakes, but the catch it that it is best in still water and you would have to be careful of currents this isn't a sea kayak by any means.

My wife and I bought two of these inflatable kayaks a few years ago and they have been incredible. Extremely durable and easy to transport in our small cars. We’ve had some awesome times on the lakes around here in western North Carolina. Ours came with manual hand pumps, which actually work really really well, but we did get a powered pump to fill it most of the way, before finishing off with the hand pump. It’s super convenient that our intex mattress that we bring camping uses the same size air pump. The only issue we’ve had is trying to fit them back into the carrying bags, but we have the same issue with pretty much anything portable.

Bought my kayak four years ago and it’s still up to standard with all parts working. I have used it every summer so have re-inflated it without issue. Love how easy it is to transport! I will bring it into the house this winter as a critter has chewed through my inflatable seat, however. I may re-order one. The only quirky part is removing the rudder. I can’t seem to access an online manual for this.

I was looking for a one person inflatable kayak to take out on local lakes and ponds. This kayak is easy to inflate and carry. It is stable in the water and I was able to take out my camera for a couple of bird shots right from the boat. It is ideal for the beginner kayaker or someone who needs an inflatable for light use.

Intex Challenger K1 is great for just getting out on the water and relaxing. It's fun to go exploring small lakes, places with no current and no wind. Paddling far out on a lake can become an exhausting struggle against the wind if weather changes. (Yeah, I did that and got away with it, wouldn't do it again.) This kayak is sorta midway between a real kayak and a pool toy. Paddling hard with this kayak is just frustrating. It changes direction with every stroke, and won't go fast. You won't be gliding along, perfecting your paddle stroke. So, don't paddle hard. Don't expect to go distance, just go far enough to enjoy relaxing on the water. Used this way, lotsa fun per dollar, a great bargain.
Easy to setup, paddle, pump, bag included

Once I did a dry-run in the front yard, the next setup was probably 10 minutes. There are only 2 sections to inflate. It did not lose any air during use. I recommend the fin if you can use it: we launched in super-shallow water so we did not use it, so it was difficult to keep moving straight. The instructions were limited, so it took a bit of figuring out the first time to understand how to get the seats oriented correctly and get the seat backs to stand-up properly. I was unclear where the round grommets on the paddles go but it didn't seem to matter. Don't lose the clear flexible ruler that is used to check for proper inflation level! I pumped too rigorously the first time and the housing of the inflator popped-off, but it was undamaged - just screw it back on. (see image) Avoid this by screwing it on tightly before pumping and don't pull too hard at the end of the up motion. This is not too heavy for an adult to carry a pretty significant distance. I wore the bag like a backpack, although I might widen the straps so it is more comfortable on the hike. It was a bit hard to get all the water out before deflating. All parts fit into the provided bag quite easily.

I've been asked so many times and promoted this kayak everywhere I go that I decided to share my satisfaction and passion for the joy it brings me! It is so practical! It comes in a bag but I don't even put the kayak back in the bag. I used it to put my lifejacket, my safety kit and the pump. I wanted to make it as easy as going for a coffee! So I fold it and put it in my trunk so no worries about installing a kayak on top of my car like I would have to do with a non inflatable! If you have no place to store it at home, it fit under your bed! It takes a couple of minutes to inflate each of both chambers of the kayak. Easy and light to carry. You are ready to go! I would advise to check the weather as I use this kayak on calm water. The only reason I did not give 5* is I now have 3 kayaks because one of them puncture and they are a little bit challenging to patch so I bought another one. I would encourage the company to improve the patch kit :) Regardless, this kayak is so much fun to use at a very affordable price. Thank you for creating and selling such a product! My friend bought 2 already and more people are interested!

We bought one to try it out, and then bought a second (especially since the price is so reasonable). We’ve had a lot of fun and no issues. My husband and I both fit in one or me and my two kids (works really well since the front seat is optional). I was also able to carry it and go out by myself no problem. It’s so fast and easy to set them up! A bit of work to dry it and get it folded back up but definitely worth it for the overall convenience.
So fun!

these kayaks are excellent. very well made and sturdy. I've used in a calm pond, a lagoon and in the ocean. super easy for one person to pump up and set up. only issue is I haven't quite figured out how to fully dry the inside before I return in to the storage bag but not an issue. love it!
Great Kayak

Buying this kayak was the best decision. it's light enough for me to carry myself and folds up very compactly. Since buying the the first one, I bought two more for friends. I have not had any issues with it at all. I take it on a local lake. it's really a lot of fun and super relaxing.
Terrible.

I ordered this Saturday, the expected delivery was ten days later. It arrived the very next day! It was incredibly easy to set up, inflated in just a few minutes, much faster than expected. The kayak felt safe, stable, and comfortable on the water. And light enough for me to carry on my own. I absolutely love it so far.

I bought these for Christmas for my family and the first day we tried to go out one of them wouldn't inflate. You could hear the air escaping around the valve. We were so excited to use them, and ended up so disappointed.
Perfect inflatable kayak for 6' husband, 200lbs

amyt - 3 years ago
Got this for my husband who loves to fish, but doesn't own a truck! He loves that he can pack it up and take it anywhere. At 6' tall he's not cramped at all, and really has zero complaints. It takes maybe 2 min to inflate and he's off for hours. He delflates it for the drive home and then inflates it back up once back in the garage to let it fully dry out. I would 100% recommend for some fun recreational use!

Overall I was very impressed with the quality of this, my big draw back is the "seats". If you sit in the front seat you will have no back support of any kind which can kill the trip pretty quickly. The rear seat isn't as bad because you are supported by the body of the kayak itself. If I find a way to modify the front seat I'll have no complaints at all.
So great!

Bought for a girls kayaking trip and it's awesome! I've always wanted a kayak but didn't want to get a roof rack nor did I want to try to find a place to store it. Love the fact that all you do is dry, deflate, and store. First time I blew it up was in the living room and while not even concentrating it took about 10 minutes until water ready. I sat in it for a few minutes and it was a little uncomfortable on dry land. Once in the water it was WAY more comfortable and roomie, you can sit in it for hours. I have got a pretty large amount of junk in my trunk (aka I am a wide load) and I fit very comfortably. With my big butt I don't like using the seat. With the seat it turns more into a sit on then a sit in. I believe it's better without the seat but that's just my opinion. Many reviews I watched/read (though other sources) mention the paddle is flimsy. It does not feel flimsy at all and paddles just fine so ignore that. Long story short I HIGHLY suggest this product.
