About this deal
Lightweight and compact, this kayak is very easy to assemble and, with the Boston
The hand pump included with the Explorer is quite small, and it takes a long time to inflate the boat.Inflating the seats was a bit cumbersome because before you get the valve closed you have some air that escapes. It’s a one-way valve but sealed with two different screw caps: the top is for inflation, and the one behind (also known as the collar) is for deflation. Floor mounted footrests for each paddler are adjustable, as are the seating positions, allowing paddlers of different heights to get comfortable. It’s bright green and we always get asked questions whenever we’re blowing it up on the beach in Vancouver. You should be careful not to confuse the repair patch with all the useless pieces of paper that this kayak may have.
The included high-output pump allows for easy inflation and deflation of the Intex Explorer K2 in just a few minutes. But if you want an affordable inflatable kayak that is perfect for throwing in your car or RV for your next camping trip, or if you want to try kayaking without spending too much, Intex has a kayak for you. That’s because it’s harder to bend and stick the vinyl in such a way that the air isn’t going to escape. No complicated and time-consuming setup like with the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame, where you need a couple of different adaptors to inflate seven valves.However, it also means you need to be careful with punctures because there is no extra layer protecting the material like expensive alternatives with dual skins such as the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame have. The vinyl hull material is compatible with PVC pipe cement, making it easy to attach various accessories. The pump also comes with three different tips, depending on which valve type and size you are inflating.
