Inflatable Kayak Blog

We’re about to depart on a trip to Branson, Missouri and, of course, we’re taking our inflatable kayak. We pretty much take it on every vacation area we drive to. We don’t necessarily plan a vacation for kayaking, but we like to make kayaking one of our activities and the inflatable makes it so easy. I couldn’t imagine having to do the car-top carrier thing just for a couple of kayak paddling jaunts during a week’s vacation. Not to mention the storage space a hard shell kayak would take at home.

Our Sea Eagle 330 Pro inflatable kayak rolls up into a bag about 3 to 4 feet by 18 inches. We also put the kayak seats and our life jackets in the bag and probably would have room for our paddles and pump, however we have another small light suitcase type carrier for them along with a towel, wet shoes and some other things. All in all it takes up less than half the car trunk. I’ve talked to a lot of people who feel the same way about the ease of storage and transportation of inflatable and folding kayaks and I can see why they are a fast growing part of the paddle sports industry.
