Reddit reviews Inflatable Challenger Kayak

I got the Intex Challenger 1, currently $67 on Amazon. The material is super-thick, seemingly impenetrable. I've been paddling around local creeks and lakes in it for 3 years and have never once had to patch it. And mind you, I punish this thing, dragging it over rocky beaches and blasting through brushy areas. It's compact and light enough to hike with, as long as you're not carrying too much other gear. When not in use, mine takes up a small corner of my trunk, always ready for some action. It comes with an awesome little pump, but I recommend purchasing longer, sturdier oars.
