Great portable piece of equipment - amazing for price!
Just what I was after. Puts together very quick, without issue, pumps up very quickly and packs away just as easy. Not built for speed, but once you get your rhythm, moves through the water very well. I love it! Will take it camping all the time.

Great purchase
After an hour out on the lake with 2 of these, I have to say it was a great experience. For the price (2 of these combined are cheaper then a cheap solid kayak), it seems like a no-brainer. They are very light - when still in the bag, I can easily carry one in each hand, and even carry both in the same hand (though that tested my grip strength, I couldn't do it over a long distance). They very easily inflated using the included pump. Once out on the water, you don't feel like you are moving very fast, but then you can look and realize you have covered a rather large distance. I never once felt unstable or likely to tip. There were large boats making occasional waves on the lake while I was out, and those waves can make it more difficult to paddle, but nothing major. I don't really have anything negative to say. Deflating is a bit more work than inflating, but the way the valves are designed makes it quite easy - you basically just open the valve and it deflates itself. I probably didn't do the best job getting 100% of the air out - maybe 95%, but I still managed to cram it into the bag (with help... imagine trying to zip up a dress for someone that might not fit them as well as it used to ;-)). But it still fit, and I'd bet I could do better with a little practice. Full disclosure is that I've never owned any kayak besides this, but I'd bet that the typical process of hauling a kayak to it's destination & back is just as much work. Would I recommend this if you have waterfront property where you can permanently store a solid kayak? Maybe not, though for the price, I still think you could do worse. But if you want something portable that you can easily transport and have a good time paddling around a lake? I would entirely recommend this based on my initial experience. Last notes, based on things I had read in previous reviews: - People mention not being able to detach the skeg. I tested this when I first slid it on, and it detached easily. After using the kayak, I found it was more locked into place - I think the pressure exerted on it just jams the plastic together. All you need to do is take something short & hard (like a piece of wood or a pipe) and give it a good whack in the direction to slide it out. Once that jam releases, you can slide it out easily. - People also say to not pump up the seat, as it raises you up too high and makes you less stable. Based on this, I chose to not pump the seat bottom at all. It was perfectly comfy this way, but I found that my inner hand wanted to brush against the side of the kayak while paddling. I think I would have preferred being a little more raised up. That said, I am pretty short. Just something to keep in mind - I will definitely try pumping the seat next time.

Überraschend GUT !
Zusammenfassung: Für 80€ ist dies Boot unglaublich gut - ich weiß nicht, wie man sowas produzieren und vertreiben kann und dann noch was daran verdient! 1) Suche: Ich suchte ein aufblasbares Boot für eine Person, mit dem man mal auf einem Teich/See oder auf kleinen Flüssen (Alster/Bille) hier in Hamburg ein wenig paddeln kann. Ein echtes Kanu (wie man hier überall ausleihen kann) ist zu groß und zu schwer, ein einfaches "Gummiboot" schien mir doch zu träge/langsam/schlecht zu manövrieren. Das Boot muss mich (90kg) und einen kleinen Rucksack sicher tragen können. Es soll nicht die Welt kosten. 2) Lieferung: Das Boot kam per DHL in einem Karton wie eine kleineren Umzugsbox innerhalb von 2 Tagen. Unbeschädigt und sinnvoll "eng" verpackt - alles ok. 3) Aufbau: Innerhalb von 3 Minuten ist alles ausgepackt; das Boot wird ausgelegt und mit der wirklich ausreichenden Hand-/Fußpumpe aufgepumpt. Es gibt zwei Kammern (Boden und Seiten), bei denen das Aufpumpen innerhalb von je 5 Minuten auch schon beim ersten Mal problemlos klappt. Danach wird der Sitz aufgeblasen und eingehakt (nochmal 5 Minuten) sowie ein kleiner Luftkeil, der ins Boot vor die Füße geschoben wird. Das Paddel wird zusammengesteckt, der Pastikkiel eingeschoben (alles sehr problemlos auch ohne viel Technikverstand) - und der Müll/Verpackungsmaterial wird aufgeräumt. In einer entspannten halben Stunde ist das Boot fertig; mit Übung sicher auch in gut 20 Minuten. Für mich wichtig, denn ich möchte es gerne mal im Auto mitnehmen und vor Ort vorbereiten - und das geht! 4) Transport zum Wasser: Zu zweit können Paddel, Boot und Kiel sehr leicht zum Wasser gebracht werden. Alleine ist es auch möchlich, etwas anstrengender und ich würde nicht kilometerweit damit gehen - aber es geht. Ich habe mir das Boot auf Kopf und Rücken gehoben (fühlt sich wie ein mittelschwerer Rucksack an (10kg?) und das Paddel in die freie Hand genommen und es ca. 800m zum Fluß getragen... und ich war nicht besonders angestrengt oder schweißgebadet. 5) Einsteigen und Aussteigen: Etwas skeptisch war ich (mit +90kg) ob das Boot leicht zu besteigen ist und wie tief es im Wasser liegt. Wir haben einen Anleger zum Enten-Füttern hier an der Bille, es geht aber auch ein ganz normales Flußufer, solange nicht Steine oder Äste das Boot beschädigen. Das Einsteigen ist "normal sportlich" - also für nahezu jeden allein zu schaffen. Lässt man sich Zeit, kippelt das Boot auch nicht. Das Einsteigen in ein Ruderboot ist weitaus schwieriger. Auch das Aussteigen ist allein gut machbar und nicht besonders kippelig. Absolut einfach muss es sein am Strand an der See. Mit insgesamt fast 100kg liegt das Boot noch sehr hoch über/im Wasser - es bestand nie die Gefahr des Wassereinbruches. 6) Fahren: Das Boot ist ein Schlauchboot - und damit nicht mit einem GFK-Kanu oder Paddelboot zu vergleichen. Das war aber auch nie das Anliegen. Ein Paddelstoß rechts lässt es nach links fahren und umgekehrt - aber genauso, wie es zu erwarten ist. Nach einigen Minuten hat man die Technik raus und kommt schön gerade langsam voran. Realistisch ist eine Geschwindigkeit entprechend eines langsamen bis zügigen Spaziergängers (ca. 3-8km in der Stunde je nach Wind und Ströming des Flusses). Es fährt sich genau, wie ich es erwartet und erhofft hatte und ist genau dafür geeignet, wofür ich es wollte. Ich werde auf den kleineren Flüssen und Seen der Umgebung damit fahren, auf den Alsterkanälen und der Alster und am Ostseestrand. Die Elbe oder der Hafen wären wir wahrscheinlich zu heikel; an bekannten Stellen sicher machbar, aber ins Kielwasser eines größeren Schiffes oder in eine wirkllich starke Strömung will ich dann doch lieber nicht damit kommen... 7) Haltbarkeit: Ich habe das Boot seit 3 Tagen. Fragt mich nochmal am Ende des Sommers... ;-) 8) Fazit: Für genau das, was ich oben beschrieben habe, perfekt. Ob es bessere gibt, weiß ich nicht - aber das muss ich auch nicht mehr rausbekommen bei diesem Boot mit diesen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. NICHT geeignet, wenn man mit Freundin oder Kind(ern) etwas unternehmen möchte und NICHT für schwierige Wassser- oder Wetterverhältnisse.

Great for first-timers and EXTREMELY durable
----I purchased the Intek Challenger K1 to try kayaking and see if I enjoyed it enough to warrant spending $500-$600 on a solid-shell vessel. I spent the first few weeks paddling around a small lake behind my home and had no complaints. The Challenger is easy to inflate, easy to deflate, and fitting it back inside the carrying bag was easy as well. I would recommend purchasing a higher quality paddle because the one that comes with the Challenger is a bit short and not very durable. After approximately three weeks of use my paddle cracked, but since the packaged deal was so cheap I didn’t mind purchasing a new one. ----After about two months of paddling around in small bodies of water, some friends of mine and I decided to go on an 11 mile trip down a popular local creek that we heard was ideal for inner-tubing and kayaking. In hindsight, that decision turned out to be one of the worst we had ever made. Our trip took place in early May, 2011, and just two weeks prior much of our area was devastated by tornados. The creek was low, so we all drug out kayaks through ankle-deep water for the first half-mile. Once the water deepened a little bit we were kayaking like some pros, but at around the three mile mark we encountered some trees that had fallen across the creek. I was particularly nervous since my kayak was the only inflatable of the bunch, but I threw it on top of the pile of trees, climbed up beside it, threw it down into the water, and began cruising again. Less than 5 minutes after our first climb over trees, we encountered several more fallen trees. Again, I threw my Challenger on top of the pile of trees, climbed up beside it, threw it down into the water, climbed in, and paddled on. We all kept telling ourselves that we had to have gone through the worst of it, but the fallen trees we kept coming up on proved us wrong. The estimated three-hour casual kayaking trip we planned turned into 8 hours of tossing or pulling kayaks on top of tree piles (most of which were 10-12 feet high), dragging kayaks through shallow water, and navigating around all of the household items (lawn mowers, refrigerators, etc.) the tornados had dropped in the creek. About four hours into the trip I was hoping that my Challenger would get a hole in it so that I would have had a good excuse to scale the wall of the creek, walk to the nearest road, and call someone to come pick me up. Unfortunately, none of the abuse my Challenger received that day fazed it….not one single hole! ----After the “trauma” of that trip I decided kayaking was not for me and I draped my Challenger over a fence in my yard to dry. The kayak remained on top of that fence in blistering heat, rain, and cold for the next 9 months. In early 2012, I finally removed the Challenger from my fence, folded it up, put it in its bag, and stuck it in my shed. Recently I decided to give kayaking another try so I broke out the old Challenger and pumped it up to see if its time on the fence had damaged it. The Challenger pumped up as easy as the day I bought it, and it did not have a single leak. ----Overall, I would say that the Intek Challenger K1 Kayak is a great product and ideal for beginners or those who have to walk long distances to get to where they are going to be paddling. The kayak, paddle, and pump are relatively lightweight and easy to carry in the included case. As I said before, I would recommend purchasing a separate paddle since the one that comes in the kit is not the best quality. The Challenger does not glide through the water like most high-dollar solid-shell kayaks, but it easy to paddle and steer. If you are like I once was and want to try kayaking without investing a lot of money, the Intel Challenger K1 is what you need.
