5 years... and still going!!!
I bought 2 K1 Challenger kayaks 2020 at the height of the pandemic. We live in an apartment so we have limited storage. We have used them every summer while camping at Lake George, and LI Bay. We play beach ball and frisbee while on these kayaks (and SUPs). Unbelievably, these low-cost kayaks are still working like new even after 5 years!!! Great memories!!!

Love this.
I purchased this kayak four years ago, it was my first (and only) kayak I had ever purchased and I loved it. It was so easy to manually pump up, lightweight, and storage is a dream. This is great if you not wanting a hard shell that is heavy to put up on top of your car, and since I am a single person, that did not appeal to me. So this was a fantastic solution. I believe that since using an electric pump, I was not careful enough and likely over inflated it, that and that fact that I never used a protectant, it degraded the material. It has seen a lot of sunshine in the last four years. So I will be ordering a few more, a one person, and a two person kayak. Thanks for a great product.

easy to set up
i bought 2 kayaks and we love them, we had a sun dolphin kayak and it was a pain! storring,transporting and carrying to the lake. These store easy in the car and inflate real fast. Even if they dont last for years the price is great and I believe people need to fold them up with care.

Fun while it lasted (used 10 times)
Worked fine as long as it lasted. Just under 3 years old but I've only used it less than 10 times. Unpacked it for its third season and the bottom wouldn't hold air. I found a hole at the corner of one of the channels that runs along the bottom. Although the plastic is fairly thick everywhere else, here it's been molded to form a channel and that's right where the hole is. Not a puncture but a tear because the material is weak. I used their flimsy patch but that was a joke. Then I tried a sturdier patch but because the hole is on a curved seam it didn't hold either. I should have spent double to get a real (cheap) kayak that would last more than ten outings. The 90 day warranty should tell you something.

Too Small
When it comes to inflatables intex is my brand, I have had 2 excursions kayaks and they have been perfect, yet got me this one and Iām 5.9ā and feel like 7ā in this 1/2 person kayak, it is so small that I put my wet bag on top of the net and might as well put it in my lap since it was on my legs the whole time, I even tried it with no seat and same issueā¦ what can I say: it runs in small size?

Love them!
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. Weāve 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. Itās super convenient that our intex mattress that we bring camping uses the same size air pump. The only issue weāve had is trying to fit them back into the carrying bags, but we have the same issue with pretty much anything portable.

We're thrilled to hear you and your wife are enjoying the inflatable kayaks! It's great that they've been durable and easy to transport. We love that our products add to your adventures. Thanks for sharing, and happy paddling!
Convenient and comfortable!
Bought my kayak four years ago and itās 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 canāt seem to access an online manual for this.
