Inexpensive Solution for Ameteur Paddlers |
I would like to rate it between 3* and 4*.
Pro:
1. Price is great. Cheapest solution for whitewater rafting
2. OK for class I or II whitewater, fine for flat-water, Ocean-surfing
3. Looking good
4. Including fine paddle and repair kits
5. Quite Stable
6. Comfort is not too bad
7. Easy to store or transport
8. Very popular among amateur paddlers in China
Con:
1. Speed is kind of slow
2. Tracking is not great at all
3. Pump air (inflate) used to be a problem (slow), but solved after I bought a 12v Sevylor pump. Now deflate it takes more time(>10 minutes)
4. Space is enough for one adult or one adult with a little kid. More suitable for one person on small lake or small river.
5. Not very durable. Expect 20 to 30 uses.
At $80 cost, we can't expect much. The much more expensive Sevylor Models( Rio, Colorado or River) certainly do much better on many things. It makes sense.

Spend the money for the Tahiti |
As the other reviewer mentioned, this boat has no Boston valves--it has the same plug-type air valves that a kid's raft has, as if you're going to fill it by mouth (the side tubes are inflated to 1psi and took 15 minutes each with a fast pump; I can't imagine inflating them by mouth).
The floor has its own valve, and on the one I got, that one has no one-way flap in it. In order to inflate the floor, you have to pump faster than it deflates and then plug it quickly. The one-way valves on the side tubes make the boat nearly impossible to deflate (I put a chopstick in it to hold it open).
The included paddle bites, so the thirty bucks you save over the Tahiti is totally NOT worth it. The boat may be based on the same design, but it's far from the same boat. Mine's going back before it ever sees water. |

NOT like the time tested Tahiti |
It is NOT comparable to the Tahiti. This kayak DOES NOT HAVE BOSTON VALVES. It has 9 separate small valves which take a long time to fill with a high volume pump (because the valves are small compared to the Boston valves on the Tahiti.) Deflating is equally time consuming.
Some valve locations are more difficult to access. This isn't the boat I want for getting on the water conveniently. I am going back to the fast filling Tahiti and sending this boat back.
