I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Sevylor Quikpak K1 Kayak - Blue, 8'7" x 3'

Description

Get closer to the water and all the beauty swimming in it when you explore in a Sevylor K1 Sit-On-Top QuikPak Kayak. This inflatable watercraft works just like a traditional sit-on-top kayak, except when you're ready to pack up, it folds up into its integrated backpack with padded shoulder straps and fits inside any car or truck-and it all sets up within five minutes.

While you're in the water, you'll paddle in more comfort with a design that allows you to stretch your legs, back and arms more easily. Pack food and gear in the cargo net on the front, and keep your drink close in the cup holder. You'll easily carry the kayak over shallow water and in and out of the water with the lift handle.

The rigid floor, flat bottom and three-chamber design keep the boat's solid shape on the water and offer added security if you get snagged. The thick PVC and reinforced bottom are part of the Airtight System that. and the Double Lock Fast Valves and Mini Double Lock Fast Valves makes quick work of inflation and deflation. The 8 ft. 7 in. x 3 ft. (2.62 m x.91 m) kayak holds up to 400 lbs. (181.43 kg)and includes a paddle that breaks down for compact storage and a high-pressure hand pump.

  • 5-minute setup lets you spend more time on the water
  • Easy-to-carry backpack system turns into the seat
  • 21-gauge PVC construction is rugged for lake use
  • Tarpaulin bottom provides durable protection from punctures
  • Multiple air chambers allow another chamber to stay inflated if one is punctured
  • Double lock valves use two locking points for easy inflation/deflation
  • Backrest lets you lean back and enjoy the ride

The material is durable and the max weight is over 400lbs, so I'd trust having a dog on it.

As long as they can swim! Assume this one (and any other small kayak!) will flip over. If they are fine with that, then you're good. Small inflatable kayaks (especially ones where the seat is up high like this) flip over sometimes when used by somebody who is not agile (not great at balancing it).

Adjust for temperature change!! Follow the chamber order but if the air temp is 85 degrees F. and the water is 50 degrees it's best to let the kayak sit in the water for at least 15 minutes then check chambers again. Cold temps will reduce pressure and you could end up with a sagging kayak mid stream.

The back of the backpack unfolds to create the seat and backrest. The bungee portion of the backpack secures a spot on the front of the kayak for shoes, a small cooler, etc.

Things we like

  • A Quick setup
  • It can be carried around with ease, and it weighs less than 20 pounds.
  • The bottom, which is made of 21-gauge PVC tarpaulin, is resistant to punctures.
  • The backrest makes your riding incredibly pleasant.

Things we don't like

  • The accompanying paddle is not very long-lasting.
