Aire Force Inflatable Kayak

Item #ARE0035 | 2 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Solid IK

By Ranked #705 - Kayaks February 2, 2009

This is about as close to a hardshell as you are going to get in an IK in terms of responsiveness, speed and weight. The thigh straps and foot pedals are easy to manange and hold you quite well. When I was IK'ing, I always grabbed these first from the outdoor program's rack.
