Outfitter I Inflatable Kayak - 2015

Whether you're rafting down the Grand Canyon or running a fairly mellow river, the Aire Outfitter I Inflatable Kayak is the one-man machine for you. Large tubes and a low seating position means you've the potential to be super-stable in the water. Ends in the air and a fairly flat bottom give you on-water flexibility that lets you ride rapids and speed across the flats. Even if your 80-pound yellow lab manages to hop on board at the last minute, you and Señor Pooch-face won't wobble with every tag wail for a fabulous day of paddling.

Made from PVC with fully welded seams, the body of this boat won't be battered and bruised if you've chosen to brave some burly whitewater. The internal AireCell system keeps this boat floating. By combining  buoyancy and PVC, the Outfitter is a stiff and responsive ride for fun from put-in to take out. Leafield B7 valves go one way and come with protective caps so you don't spring a leak in the middle of long whitewater run.

The Cheetah Chair is set low in the boat and supports your back for all-day paddling comfort. A large storage pocket and water bottle holder make the back of the chair almost as fabulous as the front. Release your Cheetah from the boat for a soft seat on-shore. Twelve cargo loops let you take with ample gear for whatever water-bound adventure you've planned. Two carry handles give you the chance to flirt with the hottie at the put-in, and two sets of drain holes jettison excess water faster than you "get rid" of extra beer.
