Possibly the most useful video I've watched on TH-cam. Thank you! Thank you especially for not editing out the snaggy bits where it didn't quite line up first time, and showing how to sort that out. I've been putting off repairing the bottom panel of my ititwit because I couldn't find how to safely get it out of the cover. You've made it so clear and shown me how I should have been looking after it in the first place.
Nicely done! One thing I'm reminded of when cleaning my inflatable kayaks is to clean under the floor with taking out the floor (either a drop stitch or low pressure floor) and seeing the sand that gets in. That stuff is very abrasive.
Getting the side bladers out and out is not required, unless you've damaged the outer skin, as they can be tricky for some to get back in. Being a kite surfer for many years, I don't wash the kite off after every session as this could cause it to go mouldy, some salt prevents that. Other than that very informative, getting the floor out and cleaning inside is the bast tip. Thank you
This is simple and useful video kayakers should watch before choosing IK. Kayaks all looks good in the shop but they don’t tell you about time consuming cleaning after paddle. It’s appreciated somebody do it correct. Double wall construction might be more robust in contact with obsticles like rocks and branches but rubber material durable enough (Gumotex Nitrilion, Grabner Hypalon) and cheap single skin PVC’s are lot easier to wipe off and dry out. Can be done in 10 minutes including application of optional care product to protect from UV and make rubber softer to last longer. Rubber boats easily last 20 years and more. If you ask me I would pay bit more and choose different construction unless you like all that hassle or paddle few times a year. To clean and dry it like this every time after paddle would simply put me off paddling, I mean instead of going for a paddle I would choose other activities. Thing to mention, for longer term storage manufacturers don’t recommend folding Kayak tight. Store it slightly inflated or loosely rolled up. Hopefully information is helpful.
Yes! Considered to buy this one sinse its quite cheap In my country but holy hell the after use work. Probably would use this only for multiday trips twice a year and for weekly use buy something simplier, without fabric layer and bit smaller one...
Nice video detailing the care required for long life of the Itiwit 3. We have one too, used for Scottish locks and occasionally on the river Tay when the tide and weather is favorable... i.e. dead calm. We use two single paddles and not a kayak paddle as that has a tendency to wet the fabric of the craft and the occupants. :-)
Thanks for the comment. Yes quite a few people use canoe paddles to improve their comfort but in anything other than flat calm conditions there's just not enough power. You'll see in my other videos, we could never have made it without kayak paddles.
@@teawithq3351 I have to disagree. I used canoe paddles with my two-person Itiwit Kayak and I can paddle just fine in the ocean! I haven't tried going out alone though.
@@teawithq3351 Definitely! I have some experience with Outrigger Canoes, so that definitely comes into play when choosing a type of paddle. Great video btw.
Brilliant video. I used my kayak everyday on the sea. Salt has definitely got into the fabric. Can you use any cleaners on the fabric or does a hosepipe and brush do the trick for removing salt and sand 👍 cheers buddy
@@teawithq3351 my first outing a few days ago...I got a bit wet and figured out it was best to just dry and fold tight enough to fit in the vehicle....and thanks to your suggestion, mindful as you are about the keel fin mounts. It was a great trip!
Thank you for a video! I have considered this kayak since I do not have enough space for a stiff kayak. Video shows how much space this type of a kayak needs for it's maintenance. Solo drop stitch kayak is propably better suited for my needs
It's mostly the drying time that lets this one down but I'm fine with that as it's more robust around sharp rocks than the drop-stitch version. I also paddle iSUPs Which are drop-stitch and I'd never take them to the places I've paddled this Itiwit 3.
Nice to see People looking after their stuff, so many people buy this sort of thing and just dump it in the Shed, where it stays for far too long. unfortunately, it has become a bit of a throw away society. Lucky for me, I didn't have a great deal of decent stuff when I was younger, so when I was able to afford the things I wanted, I now really look after them and appreciate what I have got. Thanks for a great Video on how to look after it. I am thinking about getting one of these shortly for a trip with my mate to Scotland. What are they like with the Wind against you, or maybe a bit of a strong current?
I like to buy quality at the price I can afford and look after it so thank you. Like any paddle craft it's affected by wind and current but actually when it's loaded up and heavy it's more stable and better in both. I'm also really confident in how robust it is. Check out my Pembrokeshire trip (Solva to Newgale) and look at the sharp slate that I'm really not too concerned about. Stable, durable and good to paddle. That's easy to live with.
Nice video, thanks. One detail, at ~20:00, if you put the seats on the inside where the fins should be on the outside, the glued area will stay more flat. There is YT video from Decathalon where they show this.
The standard ITIWIT hand operated pump would probably be best as It really doesn't take much work to inflate it to 1.5psi. However, any pump with a guage and design for inflatables will be fine.
That's just the same only smaller. I have a video on what I wear in winter for SUP but it's the same as a wear kayaking too. Have a look when you get a chance.
Hi there! I've got the same kayak and I was wondering if you have a problem with putting the skegs in and out. No sand in there but just impossible to do by hand. So I use a rubber hammer. Still I wonder (because at times I use quite a bit of force) if there is another solution? Thanks for your video!
Thanks for watching. I've heard of tight skegs and I'd say lay piece of sand paper on something flat like a kitchen chopping board and rub the tight sides back and forth on it checking the size in the slots until they are less of a problem. Hope this helps. Please subscribe for more videos.
Thank you! I tried this but it may need more sanding! Watching video's how easily they should slide in, I wonder if I have the wrong size...Will take it back to the store and see what they say. Thanks for helping! I appreciate it :)
Hello, watching from Florida and thx for a great video. Not a lot of information out there on these types of kayaks. I have an Elkon Cormorant and mine doesn't have a zipper running all the way down like yours and where the valves are located. I'm all twisted up and I can't seem to get it loose. Any advice out there? Anyone having the same issues by any chance? 😩😞
Hi thanks for the comment. Straightening the bladders is quite easy if they're partially inflated I find with the ITIWIT at least. I'm on a Facebook page 'Inflatable kayaks UK'. Try videoing the problem and putting it on there?
Does this need done every time or only if you know you've taken on a lot of sand / grit? I live in an apartment so there's no garden for this! Also, how long is too long to leave it possible damp in the bag before getting a chance to clean & fully dry? Did it take long to dry? Thanks!!
Just now and again if it get really dirty and before you put it away for a long time. I did it that time as I had concerns about the beach stuff that got in it. Also it needs rinsing after the sea water. Hope this helps. please subscribe if you haven't already. Love to hear more about your trips!
Hi I am wondering if there is a way of contacting you I live in Daventry and have got my self a kayak and didn't want to ask the questions on open chat if you don't mind mark
Do you have any tips for putting the side bladders back into the correct orientation without twists? We are finding it difficult to do without twists and don't know how to correct it. Thank you.
hello, I am using itiwit 2 and while washing the canoe, water got into the tubes by mistake, how can I remove the water and dry the inside of the tubes?
@@teawithq3351 Just a tip. Inflate it until ca 60-70% and lock the valve. I mean as hard as you can still bend the tube. The goal is to get the valve at the lowest point. I guess all water will flow there. Because the tube is inflated, it will act as a tank, so the water collects at the bottom. Then release the valve, and the water will be the first what comes out. Surely going to stay a few drops, but most of the water will come out. Another try. Inlflate it almost fully and leave it until a day on a warm, but not too hot place. Perhaps the remaining water will evaporate and comes out with the air when you deflate the tube. I think this last one has low chance. But who knows? Maybe it's working. Pressure drop can also lead to evaporation. I don’t think a few drops of water can cause serious damage. Even not after long time. But keep in mind, if something goes fatally wrong, you can order these tubes separately. Excuse me for my poor English! I hope I was understandable!
@@teawithq3351 how often are you giving it a clean like this? I’m cleaning it after every use, washing down with hose and wiping down and drying but I haven’t had the bladders out yet…
@@BackpackingFootsteps Don't often have the bladders out. I usually sponge it all off with car shampoo and a bucket then dry it well with a towel and stand it on end in the warm.
@@BackpackingFootsteps Tbh you probably don't need to. I have a couple of times just to check the bladders but I usually just clean it like I do my car. Bucket, sponge, car shampoo. Then dry with a towel, stand it on end for a day and pack away.... never zip the bag tho... I like it to breathe a bit.
Hi there... As i was folding my Itiwit kayak last night one of the skeg holders snapped. As it wasn't flat. It was on the fold and i leant on it. It was only the outside of the skeg plate and the part where the fin slots in seems undamaged but I've only had it 2 weeks 😫 Is there any way of repairing this at all ? 20:22
hello, i am following from Turkey thanks to Itiwit users group which from facebook. I am also itiwit 3 user. So, my question is ' Will there be any problem If I don't put the seats in itiwit while folding it ? " thank you ...
You can't do that with Boston valves I'm afraid. The pump is designed for various valves, that's why it has all the different fittings but this particular kayak can't be sucked flat... luckily you don't need to.
It's amazing how much water you can ship either through waves, getting in and out, running off of paddles, etc. Doesn't really make a difference to performance as it's under the inflatable base but needs emptying before carrying on the beach.
The drain plug (bung) on these is purely to empty any water out at the end of the trip so make sure it's tightly closed during use then Open it at the end of the trip, on the beach, up end the kayak and drain it all out. I'm always amazed how much water we actually ship during a trip tbh and it's much lighter when it's been emptied.
I would say so. We've had this one for 4 years now and it's still like new. There really isn't even a mark on it and if you see videos on the sort of punishment we've put it through around rocky shorelines on our adventures I think that's quite remarkable.
I found that there is a problem with this boat, that is, the black PVC rubber sole and the needle and thread seam of the cloth are not waterproof, they will enter the water, can you unzip the zipper, take out the airbag and test it?, this may be why the boat always cause of a lot of water
@@teawithq3351 Because I found that many people only know this after using it for a period of time. It is true that the fabric itself is waterproof, but the needle seam is not waterproof, it is all perforated, which is the needle seam between the black PVC waterproof boat bottom and the green tarpaulin. Bit, if you have a chance, you can use a simple water spray to test it there, and then press lightly, there may be water inflow, I hope I find it can help you, and this will let me know if there is a problem with the design of the boat itself.^ ^
@@banban6948 I think I understand what you're saying now. That's it's not water proof at the seam between the black PVC and the orange nylon fabric. In my view the orange shouldn't be under the water so if it is it's overloaded or not straight.
@@teawithq3351 Yes, does your black nylon strap get water too? If you have a test later, you can tell me your situation, because I just bought this boat and I am a little disappointed. If it is a design problem, I will have to deal with the waterproofing myself .
@@banban6948 The black PVC coated hull on mine doesn't leak at all and tbh I don't think the rest does either but it's hard to tell. When we do coastal trips we can ship water from waves and from our paddle but it's honestly never been a problem. Have a look at the Trefor Caves video and you'll see it's fine.
El problema de los kayaks inflables de plastico que con los rayos ultravioletas dañan el plastico PVC, polietilenos etc. No es el problema el salitre como bien dicen. El enemigo numero uno es el sol. Pero si navegamos por mar hay mucho sol. Osea que estos productos a la larga con el sol se deterioran y se acaban reventando la camara por las costuras.
Por lo general, eso es correcto, pero con este kayak eso no es un problema, ya que las partes inflables están encerradas en una tela tejida de nailon. Realmente es muy robusto por esa razón. Muchas personas en todo el mundo han tenido este kayak durante años sin problemas.
Hello. I just bought a 2 person Itiwit just like your video. Why won't my 3 fins in the bottom easily slide into place? I almost need a hammer to get them to slide on and off. What could be wrong?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the bottom plug for?!
It's amazing how much water you can ship either through waves, getting in and out, running off of paddles, etc. Doesn't really make a difference to performance as it's under the inflatable base but needs emptying before carrying on the beach.
My zips rotted away after going in the sea.
It's important to wash it down with fresh water after sea trips. The zip pull is made of an aluminium alloy that reacts with salt.
We have just brought the exact same kayak. We are taking ours on the sea. Should we have the drain plug open or closed during use?
The drain plug (bung) on these is purely to empty any water out at the end of the trip so make sure it's tightly closed during use then Open it at the end of the trip, on the beach, up end the kayak and drain it all out. I'm always amazed how much water we actually ship during a trip tbh and it's much lighter when it's been emptied.

I agree the Palava is a nice boat but it's 3x the price and has worse reviews as not as robust around sharp rocks. A nice boat tho, I do agree
El problema de los kayaks inflables de plastico que con los rayos ultravioletas dañan el plastico PVC, polietilenos etc. No es el problema el salitre como bien dicen. El enemigo numero uno es el sol. Pero si navegamos por mar hay mucho sol. Osea que estos productos a la larga con el sol se deterioran y se acaban reventando la camara por las costuras.
Por lo general, eso es correcto, pero con este kayak eso no es un problema, ya que las partes inflables están encerradas en una tela tejida de nailon. Realmente es muy robusto por esa razón. Muchas personas en todo el mundo han tenido este kayak durante años sin problemas.
How much cost in india...
I'm sorry I don't know the cost in India but they are around £200 in the United Kingdom.
Took me 1 hour to fold this. And my back hurts :(
How come?
Hallo
Hi matey
@@teawithq3351 whether this type is easily reversed
@@anggameteseh3985 Reversed? Do you mean paddling backwards? No more difficult than any other kayak or canoe really.
Very hard to hear you speak friend.
Doesn't seem to be a problem from this end.
Poor sound. Can barely hear him talking and volume is at full.
Sound is good. Maybe ear wax?
Hello. I just bought a 2 person Itiwit just like your video. Why won't my 3 fins in the bottom easily slide into place? I almost need a hammer to get them to slide on and off. What could be wrong?
Firstly make sure they are really clean before you fit them. Any small grit or sand will jam them.
