Air Glide Hybrid 285 - 2.85M Single Inflatable Kayak Reviews

4.8 Rating 6 Reviews
Great kayak for my recreational use. So much easier than getting my other kayak off the roof of my M-UX. Add a 12 volt pump and its nearly perfect for my needs.

I was a bit concerned seeing some very poor inflatables and I am not new to using a double inflatable of different band however it has been great. In the weather in less than 15min. Felt very stable. I am 65 and had no problems with getting it to pressure. Love that you can deflate with this pump. My only criticism would be the carry bag. Makes it all heavy and clumsy in a small car. Will purchase a smaller bag for the bits and pieces and have the kayak folded separately.

Today was my first kayak launch. I made a friend come in case I couldn’t manage it, no longer a spring chicken. My kayak performed beyond my expectations. Firstly it was easy to pump up. Quick. I had an electric pump on hand but it didn’t fit the nozzle. Unlike my SUP, the kayak inflated quickly and easily with the pump provided. I sat on the edge to get in and out. It was comfortable to do that and it remained buoyant and stable. I need to adjust the foot rest, probably use one of my own paddles, attach the paddle by a cord as it doesn’t fit in the holders provided, find my dry bag and I’ll be off on my first adventure around the coast. Another plus, it was quite easy to carry down to the beach from my van. I’m looking forward to many trips in my new air glide hybrid 285. I should also mention that purchasing the kayak from Bay Sports was seamless and Donnel answered a question I had very thoroughly and cheerfully. Thank you. I’m very happy with my new acquisition .

Tried my Bay Sport kayak just yesterday on a calm ocean. It performed very well, although I will try to modify the foot support for greater comfort. The kayak rode and tracked extremely well, i am very satisfied.

Great Kayak, it’s easy and quick to inflate, very sturdy, super light to carry, I leave it inflated and carry it down to the beach (100m) but will pack it up to transport further afield, it’s easy to paddle and enjoyable, I use this on calm coastal water. Customer service is excellent and delivery was on time. Highly recommend Bay Sports and the Air Glide Kayaks. I’m in my late forties, female and new to paddling, this kayak has been a great way for me to get out and enjoy paddling without needing any assistance from others. I can pick it up and head out whenever I want because it’s so light, I enjoy 6am paddles on a high tide before the wind picks up, it’s a fantastic way to start the day. Thank you Bay Sports!

Prompt delivery, but just one small issue in that the instruction book was left out, which still did not arrive after two contacts via phone and online. This would have helped with some questions re inflation and folding, but managed to figure it out from the videos on the website.
