    Im 6ft and yes the footbox area is tight on my feet. But I turned the green spacer on edge to push up the top more and create a bit more room.

    Thanks for the review and for wearing a life vest while using and demonstrating. Cannot wait for Spring to try my brand new K1 and lower back mesh life vest.

      I was out today in high winds. If your strong and use the skeg you would be surprised. It's pretty aerodynamic.

    3 years on and i still find this a decent kayak for beginners. I know it sounds obvious but its easy to over inflate these, unfortunately mine was one day and split a small hole on the seem underneath while i was out one day, fortunately the top part was still intact and i got to a safe place where i could get out. Surprisingly it didn't cave in on itself or sink with me in it which is probably down to it being double skinned.

    I just received it yesterday. Actually bought 2. The first one - valve labeled 1 was defective - air leaked. Bought it via amazon and returning it for a replacement. The 2nd one inflated without any problems. I took it out on my lake and I LOVE IT. My purchase price was $67.99 from $107.99. I did not use the foot rest as I really really enjoyed putting my feet in there and felt cozy and even felt like I was one with the float. The only problem I will say is taking the air out was a total pain the a**! I just couldn't get all the air out and putting it back into the bag was not so easy for me. I am sure as I continue to use this I'll keep figuring out a better way to get all the air out. I weigh in at about 207 and I was very very comfortable in it and it held me really well. 😁

    considering this as a starter kayak! the price makes its easier to give it a chance :) no former experience in kayaks, only boats and canoes.
    edit: i actually bought this one! and it has worked well so far, no problems. just what i excepted. and for the price, i say its worth it! i even put it in my backpack and went for a ride on my bike to a lake with it. 12-13 kgs isnt that heavy, so its very portable!

    for the tall one, you inflate it in two part, so the top part, if you wanna more room, you can take a bit of air from the top part, its does leaves more place for the legs ;)

    I wasn't lucky with this model. Bought one from Amazon, it was not symetrical when inflated. Had a bigger belly on one side than the other. Was kinda out of balance when on the water. BRought it back and send to Amazon to trade for another equal model and it was in a worse shape. What was strange was the tension it got in that "belly" when the rest of the top volume wasn't that hard. So it blew up before I even got it on the water. Very frustrating. So I lost my trust on the model and returned it with my money back. But looking at your video made me think I was really unlucky...

    • @AmanLuthra
      @AmanLuthra  ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s really unfortunate. I haven’t had that problem with mine, but it also can’t work for everyone. I’m sure there’s another model that will work for you!

    Do you really need that inflatable part that goes in the front? What is the point of it?

    • @AmanLuthra
      @AmanLuthra  ปีที่แล้ว

      Technically no. It’s meant to increase the legroom by raising the netting area on top. Sometimes I just store stuff underneath and let my legs sit on top because that can be more comfortable.

      @DjGabrielEscobar973 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's also for extra buoyancy at the front to aid lift over less than very calm waters.
