Intex Excursion Pro Kayak Series

Product Information

You also get a pressure gauge with the boat which is handy, especially if this is your first inflatable kayak and you want to be sure that you’re inflating it correctly. My family was impressed with its durability, comfort, and stability, and we will definitely be using it again the next time we go kayaking. Questions & Answers: Super-Tough laminate material with polyester core for high strength and durability, ensuring high impact and abrasion resistance, while retaining light weight and portability As the Excursion Pro is designed to be an all-around recreational kayak, it has a wealth of features to enhance your time on the water. With a removable Go-Pro or phone mount at the front of the kayak, you can record and photograph your journey with ease. The rest of your essentials can be kept safe and dry in the included waterproof bag, which stows neatly under the front spray skirt.

In contrast to the 1-person use, the kayak with a 2-person configuration lies much better in the water. Also in comparison to the other Intex kayaks there have been some improvements. The directional stability are noticeably better due to the length of the boat, the air chambers have become somewhat more dimensionally stable and the maximal load capacity has increased by 20 kg. A speed of 3.1 – 3.4 km/h is quite realistic. The interior is spacious enough to provide enough room for two large paddlers. The Excursion Pro also offers enough space for 2 persons and has reasonable driving characteristics for short paddling trips Cost savings are the main reason to buy used, or if you feel that you’re among the most casual of casual kayakers. Intex inflatables are perfect for a float around a calm lake, and if you only hope to take the boat out a few times a season, why not get the cheapest one you can?You can reach a speed of between 2,5 and 3,1 mph when paddling comfortably. Compared to other kayaks, the straight-line stability is not really good, but still okay. Here you should not forget that the kayak with a length of 365 cm and a width of 103 cm is not designed for fast but rather for calm and stable paddling tours. As a 2-person kayak the performance on the water is noticeably better due to the larger waterline. Both brands offer similar performance characteristics and both are meant for use in sheltered, calm water and on gentle rivers with class II whitewater or less. It is difficult to identify a concrete strength of the kayak. For a inflatable kayak in the lower price range it has reasonable dimensions and comes with a lot of useful accessories. Due to its generous dimensions the kayak offers much more space inside than comparable kayaks in the price range. The directional stability and the performance on the water is good for comfortable tours on lakes and rivers. The kayak also looks great, featuring a duo colour tone (multiple options available) and a nice sleek design.

The Intex range includes some of the most popular recreational inflatable kayaks on the market. Their lightweight, sporty kayaks are designed with portability and budget in mind. Intex kayaks might be the perfect first kayak for family adventures, but they also have models that are perfect for exploration or angling. Due to its high stability against tipping, the kayak is mainly aimed at beginners in paddling who would otherwise be afraid of capsizing. The inflatable kayak is also a clear recommendation for adults with children. Decathlon has also launched a 3-persons drop-stich kayak, which is aimed at small families. The Itiwit is a good kayak for small explorations on calm rivers and small lakes. If you want to do a day trip and paddle a long distance (over 20 km), you will have less fun with the kayak. Decathlon advertises a good combination of performance and stability. Stability clearly outweighs performance when you interpret performance as the speed of a kayak. The kayak makes a solid impression in terms of workmanship and robustness. Alternatives to the Itiwit X100+

The Intex Excursion Pro Kayak Series is a highly upgradable and customizable kayak that can be easily modified to suit your individual needs and preferences. Of course again this boat is heavier than the K1 Challenger option, but not so much so that you will struggle moving it. Also, I’m not too fond of the fact that the paddles break down into five pieces. I understand that it makes them more compact, but it also makes them more flimsy when assembled. Two or three-piece paddles are firmer and nicer to use. Comfort If however you fancy trying your hand at paddling and want to enjoy some gentle lake touring or the odd adventure out on a calm sea, then an inflatable kayak will be perfect.
