The Intex Challenger K2 is a very affordable inflatable kayak and very popular among beginners. It’s delivered with an astonishing amount of accessory and there is nothing missing to start paddling immediately. Considering the low price, you should not expect a proper inflatable kayak, but rather a fun boat which can be paddled as a kayak. The air pressure is too low and the used material is not robust enough for real kayak tours. We have experienced two tiny pits in the material without paddling before. It was possible to repair the pits but however it has shown that the material is not very resistant. That’s why we can only partially recommend the Challenger K2. It’s only designed for little tours on bathing lakes where the bathing fun and the relaxation on the water stand in the foreground. It’s not a boat for people and ambitious paddlers who intend to make tours of several hours. Accessories for the Intex Challenger K1 High pressure inflation provides extra rigidity and stability, with high pressure spring loaded valves for easy inflation and fast deflation Intex Challenger K2 is durable. Nevertheless, you should know that it's an inflatable kayak that is not puncture-free. Here are some of the things that might damage Intex Challenger K2 in the long run. We’ve used it on lakes, and on the ocean (but not far out) and used it lots on our trip to Banff & Jasper too. This kayak is made of strong material, it can take a lot of abuse and still hold up, it won't puncture easily.
And the junction of pump hose and boat valve are pretty leaky. They leak if hose is not in "just" right position. Since 1968, Sea Eagle have been designing cutting-edge inflatable boats. Today, their inflatable kayaks are used and loved all over the world. I was prepared to buy this until I realized it only has a 90 day warranty. I’ll spend a tiny bit more to get something from a company that supports and stands behind their products. Too bad. Seems like exactly what I needed!" The Intex Explorer K2 weight capacity is 400 lbs (180 kg). I never loaded it to the maximum capacity, but with over 300 lbs it handled well and didn’t give me that sinking feeling. Comfort If you’re looking for a high-spec kayak for long tours, whitewater trips, or dedicated angling sessions, then we would recommend you seek out other inflatable kayak brands.Intex has infused cutting technology on the floor creation as well. I-Beam support makes the kayak more stable and reliable. This contributes to added stability. You can stand up without the fear of capsizing. Rest assured, the kayak isn’t going to topple. The inflatable seat itself is unusually supportive and comfortable for an inflatable system. Inside the kayak, there’s plenty of legroom for kayakers of most sizes.
Low-Quality Paddles: The set of aluminum paddles the kayak comes with are reported to be low quality and flimsy. The Challenger K2 comes with two oars, therefore your issue will definitely be compounded. The 84” paddles are way below par. With two oars, you have to make two replacements.This inflatable boat is only a single-skin model made with 30-gauge Vinyl. Since it’s a budget kayak, this is understandable. 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. When inflating or deflating an air-inflated Intex Explorer K2 kayak, remember that it is very important that all valves are closed before beginning inflation or deflation.
