Inflatable Kayak Blog

We had visitors from Iowa over the weekend and I had been telling them about our inflatable kayak. They were interested to see it and give it a try so we packed up the van and headed to Buffalo Trace Park. It was a beautiful day for getting out in the kayak, partly sunny and not too hot. They were curious as to how long it would take to get the boat inflated and were surprised that it all came together in under 10 minutes.

My sister and I were the first ones to get on board. I usually like sitting in the front seat, but thought she would appreciate the little extra legroom the front has to offer. After paddling the hard shell last week, I told her to just keep paddling normally and I would make any course corrections from the back. I found this to work out very well. Just a slight dip of the paddle in the water on the side of the boat you want to turn kept us heading where we wanted to go and moving along at a nice pace and fairly in a straight line.

We had such a nice time paddling and chatting we took one more spin around the lake before leaving for the day.
