Retrospec Coaster Inflatable Kayak

1-Person Kayak
Lightweight Durability
Quick Setup
Portable
Includes Pump, Paddle, Removable Fin, and Carry Bag

Retrospec Coaster Inflatable Kayak is a great choice for those looking to get out on the water. It's lightweight and easy to inflate, yet still offers enough stability and strength for two adults or an adult with two children. The kayak also has a maximum weight capacity of 440lbs which is higher than many other similar kayaks in its class.

We tested this product out on both calm lake waters as well as more turbulent river conditions, and found that it handled very well in both scenarios. While paddling we noticed that it was able to keep a good line without veering off course too much, even when carrying additional passengers. This makes it suitable for all types of waterways from lakes to rivers and even the ocean!

The material used for construction feels durable and heavy-duty despite being lightweight at only 24 lbs, making transportation effortless whether you choose to carry it or use a vehicle such as car roof racks or dockside carts.

In addition, the kayak inflates quickly using either an electric pump or manual foot pumps - no tools required! Once inflated you can be ready to hit the water within minutes; however if you plan on storing your kayak after each use then drying time should be taken into consideration as leaving it folded up will result in mold build-up over time due to trapped moisture inside the chambers. Overall we were impressed by how well made this product is considering its price tag and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable yet reliable inflatable kayak solution!
