OCEANBROAD Inflatable Sit-in Kayak(NO HIN), 1 Person/2 Person Blow Up Kayak for Adults with Paddle, Kayak Seat, Pedal, Hand Pump and Bag, Blue/Sky Blue

I am eager to get this review out before Prime Days, so it will be helpful to those looking for a great kayak for a great price.I share this in the context of being an experienced kayaker, with a number of nice boats - including a couple of top-of-the-line SeaEagle inflatables.I use the 2 place SE 380X less frequently, now, since the passing of my wife and paddling partner, so I was looking for a one place boat to use on some of our local North Carolina whitewater rivers (Class 3 at my age).Impressed with the great reviews and the surprising price, I bought this V1 last month. So far, I have only had it out on a lake, with my 10 year old grandson, to check if out. Honestly, with the solid drop-stitch floor and the solid construction, I was surprised at the quality of the boat for the price. It is a very complete kit, as well, and finished in beautiful colors.I have yet to get it out on whitewater, but it looks like it is certainly strong enough to handle at least Class 3 rapids. The rather small, but self-sealing scupper holes - 2 on each side, amidships, are a small concern. Hopefully, they will discharge swamping water from rapids and waves quickly enough.My impressions, at this stage, are that this boat will fit right in with the performance I get with my Sea Eagle kayaks. Time will tell.I had not seen this boat before, so I think it's relatively new on the market.I also need to say that I suspect the low price of this V1 is an initial market test - to possibly increase once this boat gets enough good reviews - so, it might be a good move to act now (7/05/24). My initial experience gives me the impression that this boat will be the first of what will be a major manufacturing contender in the inflatable kayak market. I thought I might be taking a chance. Not.This is a great little boat that has solid initial stability and tracks decently with its fin attached. (I will not use the removable fin in whitewater.)The one, minor, con that I can report comes from my leaving the boat folded up in the car overnight. I came out the next day, after the car had been in the sun, and there was the odor of the glue that was used to manufacture the boat. We noticed this, on and off, for a few days - but the scent then faded out.This boat uses the same valve system as my Sea Eagle boats. The quality of all fittings is comparable. Though it comes with a nice manual pump, I used my car electric pump to inflate the boat quickly and easily.I have no connections to this manufacturer, other than as a customer, and received no compensation for this review. I am very pleased with this purchase. If I encounter any changes that are not consistent with my initial review, I'll be back to update this. As it stands, now, I am very satisfied to add mine to a string of 5 star reviews.

Everything one could wish for in a sea or whitewater kayak. The best ever ! The seat is padded, adjustable and comfortable, the floor inflates to rigid stiffness, the drain holes are amidship in the center, they have one way drain valves and are closeable. I own a pro inflatable sea kayak from the top tier white water kayak co and it is just as good in every respect. I bought the one person version and it is light as a feather but as tough as it gets, inflates to 10-13 psi on the floor and 4-6 on the side walls which makes it very rigid. Buy it.

Kayak is sturdy and well built. Pros:Sides are high up, you sit down inside. Good oarsEasy to steerRemovable steerBag for storage Cons:Hard to drain waterHeavySeat doesn't hold up. You end up not being able to use it while kayaking.

Really impressed with this kayak. I looked at most every inflatable kayak on the market and decided on this one based on construction and value for the price. It seems to have the same qualities as some costing twice as much. I like the drop stitch floor and stiff sides as well as the tough material used in construction. It inflates and deflates quickly even just using the included hand pump. I purchased an electric pump, but actually the hand pump is faster. The color and graphics are also attractive. It looks like a professional kayak and not some toy.The customer support at Oceanbroad is outstanding. These days, you pretty much expect very little when you contact customer service, but Oceanbroad is the exception. We had a concern about the kayak and contacted support. Sue at Oceanbroad responded quickly and completely took care of us. Our emails were answered quickly and she really seemed to care about resolving our problem. Very impressed.Overall, I would definitely buy from them again and look forward to many years with my kayak.Additional to my review. We went on a trip this week to a local lake. First time out on my new kayak. It handled great, the seat was comfortable and had good back support. It tracked really well. When you stop paddling, the kayak goes straight unlike some that will wallow off course. There is plenty of room for gear behind the seat and under the areas at bow and stern. It's light enough to carry over your shoulder.I have other kayaks, rigid sit in, rigid sit on top, but this may be my favorite one now.Overall very pleased.

We love this kayak! Easy to transport and very stable on the water. The floor is very solid and lots of room for gear. I put some bungee nets on each end for securing our gear. Would highly recommend for the price.

The media could not be loaded. an inflatable could be so easy to use? We have angler kayaks which require a trailer for transporting. Out of curiosity, we bought this inflatable tandem kayak with the hope of convenience and comfort. And this one is a winner! Easy to carry in the gigantic heavy-duty bag. Easy to inflate and deflate. Love the solid floor when inflated (not sure how that happens since you fold the kayak up when deflated). Easy tracking (fin below helps). Very stable.Everything about this kayak is great. My husband did a lot of research before buying this one. There weren't a lot of reviews so I was nervous. No worries. Had a few people ask us for the brand because they were also very impressed. Great deal.

Overall seems like good quality.Seat is questionable (I have not had on water yet) seems like no support for back..The air pump that was included was defective- the threads to attach the hose were a bit off so a bit crooked- but did provide the air. The PSI gauge does Not work.. any suggestions on how I would know the PSI I’m putting into kayak?Hopefully I’ll get out on water soon!

BEST KAYAK!. had so much fun! Took it to whiskey creek. It was easy to inflate,seats were comfortable, glided through the water beautifully and easy to get in and out of it. Highly recommend this product. It was worth the money.
