Description of Kayak Intex Challenger K1 274 cm, green/black

Inflatable single kayak Challenger-K1 INTEX 68305, carrying capacity up to 100 kg, is made of high-tech three-layer material "Super Tough", consisting of two layers of extra strong vinyl, between which a special polyester mesh is laid. This material is not afraid of exposure to aggressive environments: gasoline, engine oil, salt water. It is resistant to temperature extremes and exposure to sunlight. The thickness of "Super Tough" is 0.75mm. This kayak is designed for lakes and calm rivers. The streamlined shape of the hull makes it easy to glide, the bright yellow stripes make the kayak stand out on the water for safety, and the inflatable floor gives extra comfort and maneuverability. The hull of the boat is formed by an air chamber with a Boston type valve for quick inflation and deflation. The inflatable floor has a Wave Beam design: internal vertical vinyl baffles run parallel to the sides of the boat, forming longitudinal air channels that make the floor surface look wavy. The inflatable floor of this design is reliable, convenient and creates additional comfort for passengers. Convenience of mooring and towing is provided by external handrails passing in the bow and stern parts of the kayak. The kit includes: a double-acting hand pump High-Output Pump (art. 68614), which inflates when the piston moves in both directions, a lightweight aluminum paddle 210 cm long, a comfortable inflatable seat with a backrest and a repair kit. Characteristics: Dimensions, cm: 274x76x33 Number of seats: single Load capacity, kg: 100 Material: Super Tough Material thickness, mm: 0.75 Number of compartments: two Pump: yes Paddles: yes

Good product for me, no problems at all.

The summer of 2022 was quite hot and allowed us to spend a lot of time on the water with this kayak. I managed to swim in a pond, a medium-sized river and a large reservoir. Everywhere the boat behaved quite reliably and predictably and allowed to get unforgettable emotions.

Pros
  • 1. Perhaps the best ratio "price-quality-functionality-reliability". Purchased by me for 7,100. and was one of the best purchases of my life in terms of value and enjoyment. 2. a complete set "all at once": kayak, seat, pump, paddle, bag. Bought-unpacked-pumped-floated. 3. quality: used all summer (about 12 swims and 25 km covered). everything is in perfect working order. I hope we will have a good winter and we will successfully develop water bodies next year. 4. Easily and quickly gets out of the box and is brought into "working condition" in just 10 minutes. 5. Relatively light: easy to carry, lower into the water and pull ashore even for one person. 6. Dries quickly in the sun after a swim 7. Comfortable mesh on the front of the nose: all the things you need to take with you can be folded and securely fastened 8. Comfortable landing with certain physical parameters of the rower (see the "disadvantages" section below) 9. Pretty fast: it allows you to get a speed of 2.5-3 km per hour with a smooth surface of the river.
Cons
  • 1. There is quite a bit of space in the front: if your height exceeds 175 cm, then your legs may be uncomfortable during long swims 2. it sails strongly and with even a small wind you will sail like a sailboat in the wind 3. when rowing, some water gets inside, so either you need to row very carefully, or be prepared that you may get wet. Accordingly, it is preferable to swim on a warm day. 4. Deflating the boat and its compact packaging requires some skill, because. it is rather difficult to expel the air from all the folds of the boat. The first time I had to tinker with packing for half an hour, then after the second or third time it went much faster.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I plan to get a battery pump, for pumping and blowing off Pros: The kayak is great. Inflates in 15 minutes. Paddle included, assembled from parts, comfortable. The test at the Mozhaisk reservoir passed with 5. Ahead of the river rafting. Cons below: If you sit in a life jacket, it is not very comfortable for your back, but this is a nitpick.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I only rode it for about 7 hours in 1.5 months, I really like it. I bought it, though for 8300, and after a couple of days they reduced the price to 7000. Oh well, and 8300 for this is also not very expensive

Pros
  • Stable, quickly inflate and deflate (around 7-10 minutes)
Cons
  • It's okay for now

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Different pros: Inflates in 10 minutes. It is easy to manage, keeps the course, does not spin. With its cons: I swam three times for 40 minutes. On the fourth time, a hole appeared during inflation. Well, at least not in the water. The quality isn't very good, of course. There are patches included with the boat, but they can't really seal anything. As a result, I put a PVC patch in a boat workshop for 750. Eventually. The boat is generally good, but it is important not to pump it over. I got…

No complaints, I recommend the product for purchase.

Ride once. According to the reviews, I realized that the main thing is not to pump over. Perhaps I didn’t pump it up a bit, the boat had some mattress and sausage. Relatives and friends were delighted. On the move, she is fidgety, and at the same time keeps the course. Great as a beach toy and for short walks along the shore of the reservoir. I wouldn't risk it on a hike. In fact, it is rather not a kayak, but an air mattress with a kayak function. Swimming on it is faster than swimming "on…

Pros
  • Compact, easy to inflate. For a fully inflatable boat, it holds its course relatively well, although it still wiggles a little to the left and right when rowing.
Cons
  • Difficult to drain and dry. If water gets inside, then it is poured into the gap between the bottom and the upper part along the side, from where it is very difficult to drain. When all the water inside drains towards one side, the boat sits with a roll to that side. To dry the boat, you need to blow it off, and somehow hang it by the hole in the upper part.

I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

Passed more than 100 km on K1 along a non-categorical river. While rafting on sharp stones, I pierced the bottom. The puncture was quickly sealed within 10 minutes. The dry bags had to be tied on top of the pump and stern. There is not enough space in the building, water, an ax and other pieces of iron were shoved there. The impression of the K1 is generally good considering its price of 6500. In fact, this product is a toy; for multi-day or category rafting, you need another kayak.

Pros
  • The main advantages are price, weight and quality. Bought for 6500. Good seaworthiness compared to PVC rowboat.
Cons
  • It's hard to blow out all the air. With a strong wave, you can somersault. For good reason, the kayak had to be made 10 cm wider, so that it would be more convenient to be in it. If used without a keel, it will scour the course a lot.
