Intex Challenger K1 - complete package inflatable kayak

Intex Challenger K1 Review

The Intex Challenger K1 is a great inflatable kayak for older kids and adults. It's lightweight, has an affordable (cheap) price tag and offers great fun! Being a beginner kayak, it's obviously not as durable and rigid as the high-end inflatable kayaks like the Advanced Elements and Sea Eagle models but it's not fair to compare these to the Challenger K1. The Intex Challenger K2 is the 2-Persons version.

Gili Sports Adventure 11' inflatable paddleboard

Gili Sports Adventure 11’ SUP Review

The Gili Sports Adventure 11' inflatable SUP is a great paddleboard. Its drop stitch dual layer construction with Gili's own Fusion technology makes the board durable and rigid. The Adventure isn't only a cruiser but can also easily be used as an all-around SUP and therefore makes it ideal for beginners and more advanced riders. The price is actually very good, especially when you consider the high board quality and the included accessories (carbon fiber paddle, dual action pump, comfortable bag) in the package deal!
