“The kayak itself is excellent, I can’t really fault it.
The only thing preventing a 5 star review is the bag and the experience of folding the kayak. The bag has wheels at the base, which sound like a good idea but tend to get in the way and run over your toes. It’s just too bulky to wheel around like a suitcase. The shoulder straps on the bag also got shredded after getting caught in something the second time I’ve gone out. Should be more heavy duty material. It’s bloody hard to folder it perfectly as well so that’s it’s in a perfect rectangle. So baysports, I can see why you need to save costs on the bag but dealing with the bag is a huge part of an inflatable kayak experience so it should be at the same level of quality as the kayak itself I reckon!”
“The quality is great, it’s easy to paddle, stable and light, feels strongly built.
I found the seat to be comfortable.
The only negative was buying the rudder accessory as this was a waste of money, the clips onto the rudder didn’t fit, and when I modified it so it would work I found it difficult to use as a lot of pressure at the foot pegs was needed, in the end I removed it, using the paddle instead for steering is so much easier.
I followed the instructional video to the t but it’s just a bad design.”
“Quickly delivered and everything seems to work fine. The instructions in different places say either 8 or 10psi and it is hard work getting it to 10psi so will try it at 8 and see how that goes. Not quite as stable as I expected but I am an experienced kayaker so will be fine. Drying the bow and stern areas inside the boat is tricky before folding it up.”
“We are kayak novices . We bought the airglides as we live In a high rise and drive a convertible. Surprisingly they fit in the convertible, One in the boot and one in the backseat . They are so firm when Inflated I was impressed. I was also impressed that it held my weight with no effort I’m 160 kgs . They are so fun . I was a bit wobbly on my first try but I’ve been getting better and better . They are worth every dollar . My partner and I love them. They inflate easy and are really easy to stow. And they are so much fun .”
“Delighted to get my airglide 385 this morning and was on the lagoon later this afternoon. Easy to unpack, inflate get in and out of then pack up....im a very unfit 67 yo with hip problems and I can do it. So much better than my old rigid kayak. Love it!!!!”
