Paddle in Freedom

The terms "canoe" and "kayak" are now used interchangeably, and this model can fall under both definitions. Nowadays, inflatable canoes, such as the Challenger K1, are increasingly popular on the lakes and rivers of Britain. Thanks to advanced technology and increasingly improved materials, these small inflatable boats like the Intex Excursion 5 are better able to resist rubbing against a rocky bottom or sides of the water. The K1 can therefore be used in great freedom even at sea. It is perhaps less suitable only on stony and challenging rivers, particularly if there's white water around. But for amateur use, in leisure time, or for non-professional competitions, it is more than enough.

Structure and Dimensions

As is obvious, the entire structure is inflatable, and the base is also made up of inflatable elements which give greater rigidity and safety. The length is 274 cm, the overall width 76 cm, the height 38 cm. The material it is made of is a robust, puncture-resistant PVC, and there are two inner tubes for additional safety. The seat is adjustable and removable; you can choose a more comfortable or more competitive position. The Boston valves guarantee great speed in inflation and deflation. Overall capacity is 100 kilos.

Accessories and Price

The product is supplied with all the necessary accessories, first of all a two-blade paddle, more than two metres long, which can be dismantled. Then, very important for the ease of use of inflatable boats, a high-powered pump. Finally, there's a repair kit and a transport bag. The Intex Challenger K1 kayak has a lockable stowage compartment, plus an external net for additional loading, and at both ends there is a safety line. All in all, this is a great purchase for those who want to learn or like to paddle for fun. Also, the quality offered by this item is more than good value for its price - if you compare online between shops you can find it for closer to £100 than £200.
