Inflatable Kayak Blog

At the Outdoor Retail Show I had a chance to try out some boats that I had never paddled before. I really enjoyed paddling the Sea Eagle 340x inflatable kayak. The 340x is the smallest of the three Sea Eagle ‘Explorer’ kayaks. They also have a 380x and 420x. The Sea Eagle 330 that we own is one of the two ‘Sport’ kayaks that Sea Eagle makes. The 330 does get us where we want to go, however the 340 is so nice to paddle, I now have a new favorite inflatable kayak. It is a more expensive boat but it is certainly worth the extra money.

You can tell by the feel of the material it is made of that the 340x is much better boat. There is also an optional directional stabilizer that can be attached to make the boat track better in the water. The stabilizer was on the boat I paddled. The 340 was easy to paddle and is very stable. Not to say that the 330 isn’t stable. It is, but the 340 feels rock solid. I also liked the extra room of the boat so you don’t feel cramped in. I even paddled it well enough to avoid the guy on the ‘Stand Up Paddle Board’!! LOL! …… As I said, I now have a new favorite!
