Inflatable Kayak

[AWG]

Pro's and Cons?

Thinking of purchasing a two man mainly because I can put it in the boot and go anywhere with it. Just wondered if anyone has had good/bad experiences with them?

Many thanks

I've got a Gumotex Sunny and it works a treat as long as you set the rudder up properly. The ability to shove it in the back of the car is great, but if you do go for something like it here's some tips:

- Take some towels so you can clean it and dry it off before packing away
- Have a spare pump in the car. Nothing worse than arriving at the river and the pump breaking. Luckily for me, the one time this did happen I managed to fix it with a pair of pliers

The guy who owned the canoe shop I bought it from has one himself that he takes on holiday with him; he goes off paddling inland while the wife lies on a beach somewhere.
