Aire Outfitter II Tandem Inflatable Kayak

Item #ARE0028 | 3 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Easy fun on flat water

By Backcountry.com Employee September 30, 2009

We used this kayak on a lake and I can definitely say it was a fun, low stress experience. I was amazed at how quickly it inflated with the Aire barrel pump. It was ready to ride in less than 5 minutes! Granted, this kayak has horrible steer-ability given there is no seam or keel to maintain a trough line through the water, but two people working together with an intermediate level of paddle skillage can do well enough. Then again, this craft is meant for flowing water not flat water. We have two boys 10 and 12 and they could handle this craft independent of any help.
