 It's 'cute'... August 18, 2008

This kayak is my second inflatable and third kayak overall. I am not impressed. My first kayak was a hard kayak, which I carried aboard my sailboat and used all over the bahamas. I could go further distances, faster, in bigger winds and seas than I could when rowing the dinghy. The second kayak was a higher end ($500) inflatable. Not as good as the hard shell but more stowable. This coleman, well, it does fit into my small car when deflated, which is about all I can say for it. And the seat is comfortable. I'm an excellent rower/paddler and still found it difficult to make way against 10 knots of wind and a half knot current. Maybe a longer paddle with larger blades would help? Definitely to be used in flat water/calm winds/no current. It would be good for running down a slow stream with someone to pick you up at the end of it.
 Sit on top Kayak July 26, 2008
The Coleman Kayak's are more fun than anything else we have used in the water for 20 years. We did discover that if you didn't head into the wave with the point of the kayak and accidentely got dumped, they were very easy to get back on to, even in the ocean. We used them on two different vacations in the ocean with 2 different families and found they were very light weight and easy to carry after being inflated. We also bought a Coleman Quick Pump and the kayak completely inflated in 3 minutes, then at the end of the day, we used the same pump and deflated them so that we could put them in the condo. We had 9 grandchildren (all teenagers) with us and they had a blast. Our order came in 2 days and we were really pleased.
Better than expected July 26, 2008
These small (under 7 feet long) inflatable kayaks are easy to inflate and deflate with our Coleman 12V pump. You can carry them anywhere. The kayaks are light, stable, easy to maneuver and comfortable to sit on. The paddle can be unscrewed for easy storage. The small skegs on the bottom help prevent being blown too easily side to side. While certainly not ocean-going types, these are excellent for the quick afternoon out to the lake when hauling the big clunkers just isn't worth it. Great for kids just getting the hang of kayaking. Good value for the money.
pretty nice intro to kayaking July 16, 2008
Not too shabby, worth the money vs. buying a "real" hard-shell kayak. If you are going to use it 10 times a summer like me up here in Wisconsin, it's got a pretty good ROI. The paddle is pretty cheap, don't overtighten the connectors like I did the first time or they will crack. (fixed with duct tape, works fine)
I wouldn't take this through any real rough or shallow stuff where there's sharp objects to rub up against. The vinyl derivative it's made out of is of a much greater quality than your standard $10 inflatable tube but it's still puncturable. It's pretty easy to inflate, with or without a pump. And it stays inflated well. You need to be very careful where you dock & undock, as standard boat launches sometimes have rocks and jagged edges.
In terms of performance, it's very well-balanced and maneuverable. It's also easy to push around. I think it's a geometrically sound design. I like mine a lot, and for the money I think it was well worth it.
Great value July 15, 2008
I just bought two of these kayaks and took them out on the lake. They were fairly easy to inflate and transport, very stable and very comfortable. Half an hour into our excursion, one of the paddles broke and that was a pain, but the paddles seemed kind of cheap and I was planning to buy others anyway. These kayaks don't track too straight and water definitely tends to pool in the seat, but overall, they are great for the price and I would definitely recommend them if you're a first-time kayaker (before spending hundreds on a "real" kayak) or if you are just looking for something easy and comfortable for light recreation.
