Inflatable Kayaks
By
Kayak Transportation
If you have not looked at inflatable kayaks and boats lately perhaps you should take a new look at them, because they have come a long way in a few short years. It seemed like it would be a hassle to get the air in them, or to wait to get the air out of them, but it is not.
I have a kevlar/fiberglass kayak that travels on the roof of my car. Since I am lazy I try to leave it on there for as long as possible so I go more often in the summer. I have some great locking car racks and straps that also lock. It is very secure. I also have a big dog that is in the yard most of the time. I guess all of that helps.
The other day I went to the lake and I was unloading my kayak and this guy is there looking at the water. I notice him go up to his car, carry something down near the water and start inflating it with a foot pump. I thought there was no way he would get in the water before me, but he did. He was long gone before I got launched.
Probably a draw back for me is that I put my kayak on wheels and roll it to the water and then I have to take the wheels back to my car. I park near the water to load and unload my kayak, but still it is a walk. All this takes more time than he took. Once I get back to my car I have to move it.
Once I am in the water the time it took to do all this does not even matter. However it is just part of the list of things to consider when you are deciding whether to go inflatable or not when getting your first kayak.
If you want to take your kayak traveling with you, consider looking at the inflatables.
Let me know what type of kayak you have.

Kevin you have a nice website. The price charts are good, but I see you have a lot of the Sea Eagle prices there, too. The Sea Eagle boats are nice and judging from how many I have seen on the water they are quite popular. I have seen several people setting them up and getting out in the water really fast. The worst part is folding them up if there is no place to rinse them off once you come in. However when I load my kayak on my car after going out I often wish there was a place to rinse it off first.
