thanks for the feed back JonnyFlash80

Thanks Emily for the feedback

I can keep it in a straight line quite easily but the skeg is way to small and it certainly does spin if you let it

Enjoy Charmaine I was out on it yesterday and had another great paddle

thanks for the feedback Gypsey Jenna yep its a great beginners kayak and gets you out on the water ... take it in steps keep tight to the shore until you get confidence its super stable

Awesome midge you will have a great time

thanks for the feedback Helio

No worries my friend

Hi Tim ...you will have a blast Im sure ....One tip the parts you get there is a blue triangular shaped cushion thing its the bit you are not quite sure what to do with ... it goes in the front of the boat (bow) sharp end in ...shove it right forward until it gets no more then get in the boat. Here is the thing your legs need to be pushing comfortably against it keep pushing it forward that gives you a solid bow ...dont let it flip between your legs as it will want to hug you push it down and forward plus it helps your paddling watch my paddling video on the channel if your feet dont reach then stiff a dry pack back pack down anything until your knees are slightly bent and your pushing that cushion into the bow .....makes paddling 90% easier ....good luck my friend you will have a blast

No worries Jasmine

yep you are right it is branded under different names and same kayak

Hi Mary I am sure there will be lots of second hand Kayaks ....Its a good little boat and super stable so awesome for starting out ...Have fun !!

thanks for the feedback jayve its a great little boat

Hi Charukeshan will do one shortly as a few people ask the same question

no worries thanks for the feedback

Thanks so much for the feed back Cajbjaz very much appreciated As for the ruler I have never really used it. It measures the stretch of the plastic to gauge pressure. I find the problem with that approach is sun and a hot day for when you blow it up. half an hour in heat and the air expands further. I just inflate the tubes until they are firm ( you cant easily press in a dimple) and leave it at that. I think there is a danger of over inflation with this boat which could rip open a seal so I go with feel ....Hope that helps

you will have a blast and thanks for the feed back

will do a video in a few weeks... the thing to remember is time ....Its a thing that is difficult to just get out the water and deflate it. Whats best is to use the deflate port on the pump to get the air out of the floor and seat. Pop the valves open on the sides then gently roll the boat up from the back to the middle then unroll it. Go to the front and do the same continue this a few times and the air is gone allowing you to fully deflate and pop it in the bag ....In short you have to push all the air out the chambers and tease it all out

@@thetramblingman463 thank you for your answer , I will do, Still a video would be great 😀

will pop one together once i get back home and its a great topic to do one on

seeley lake is up in Northern BC and yep! getting in and out is certainly an art

go with the K1 its a way better paddle position

@@thetramblingman463 Thank you! I ordered one from Amazon for $130 after reading your response! Keep you posted of my adventure!

@@janusimmigration3750 awesome you will love it

Hi Ron I think the Outbound is way better for fishing as there is more room in it. The Challenger K1 is cramped around your feet However the K2 would be perfect for gear ....When I get back home I have the K2 to review which I will do purely from a kit carrying aspect but if you want an easy cheap kayak the Outbound is pretty decent

I think they pack roughly the same ...Problem with the K1 is getting all the air out of it so it packs small but can be achieved buying a better 2 stage pump with inflate deflate ...they both pack to roughly the same size K1 is probably a little heavier but not by much

thanks Amit

....Chambers 1 and 3 will take either of the adapters fitting on the end of the air pump but better to blow a little air in from your mouth first as the plastic often sticks together at time of manufacture so this may be causing air not to go in Chamber 2 is a different valve and has 2 pieces. 1 the cap 2 the actual valve and 3 the part that is molded into the boat ..place it all together then pop off part A exposing the valve ...when air is blown in the valve then closes and will not come back out ....Just ust the end of the air pump hose (no adapters) it will fit straight into the valve housing

k1 it has a better bow

there are some good paddles in Cabellas or Canadian tire and are on sale regularly and you get to take a look and hold them before you buy and on Amazon then type in kayak paddle and Pelican, Oceanboard and Overmont make reall nice paddles

@@thetramblingman463 thank you so much

Nora my friend tell folk around you what you want to do ....point the nose in half way get in it .....dont worry about the skeg its really not that important get your beach crew to launch you keep hold of the paddle ......tell them on the beach what you aim to do and go have fun ......just tell them where you are going and what time they are epecting you back wish i were with you .....you sound like the perfect paddle partner

If you look at pictures of both, it looks like the Outbound is actually a rebranded HydroForce Cascade Cove Champion with different colors and a shorter name. So I would expect that this review would apply to that model as well.

not sure on that one? the inflation pressure is not a problem I never use the chart as on a hot day the air will expand so inflate it rule of thumb but as for the skeg there are some on Amazon but no idea if they fit

Contact Bestway: service@bestwaycorp.us

I think its down to the pressure in the bottom tubes ...I noticed if they are under inflated the skeg bends so input good pressure into tube 1

Hi Jennifer Ok the paddle comes in sections 1 left paddle with small pole 2 center part which is just the pole 3 right paddle two black things that look like small weights all slot together to make the paddle then both ends of the black part twist and as they tighten you will find that they lock the paddles into place hold the paddle in front of you arms bent like the position you will be in the kayak I have the left paddle as you look forward the paddle sits flat part facing to the ceiling( the part where it slides on the pole is underneath) then the right side the flat part of the paddle is facing you So right paddle you look at the flat part and left paddle flat part faces the ceiling and you are looking at the blade (side) lock all four twists on the black handle parts firmly closed and thats your paddle It feels odd at first but basically as you paddle and practice on dry land first their is a twist letting the paddle naturally turn in your hands so the wet side of the paddle (the one entering the water) is facing you then pull the stroke and as the paddle comes out the water you allow the twist again until the opposite paddle now faces you and becomes the wet side for the next stroke pull through If you get it wrong then simply the boat does not go anywhere so dont worry it will only move through the water when you pull the paddle through its a smooth operation with that continual twist that allows a brief rest for your muscle before the next stroke If you have both paddles facing the same way then its way more effort on your arms ...this way is more ergonomic...Hope this answers your question What I will do shortly is pop a quick video together for you ....its easy once you get the idea and once you have paddled through done it 200 times you don't have to even think about it ....Have fun

Hi Jennifer give this a watch and hopefully will answer your question kzfaq.info/get/bejne/np-DaNOgx5PNd2Q.html

sure you can but weight may be a concern ....its a 100kg kayak so if you are 80kg you can carry 20kg of equipment .....If you are 95Kg then you are down to 5kg ....this is a drawback with inflatables if you over load them they will pop a seem

K1 is better built and handles well so that's my favorite

yes the pump and the paddle come with it

6 foot 3 inches ....there is loads of leg room the paddles long enough but the blades are not big enough so you dont get a great stroke its ok but could have been better with a larger blade and yes there is a skeg . Its a little small but ok and does the job

pole length is about 8 foot

@@thetramblingman463 sorry to bug again but compared to Intex k1 challenger what would you recommend?

@@chrisschell90 K1 is a more stable paddle Outbound is a comfier roomier kayak so they are both the same really

@@chrisschell90 either or they are both similar Intex is slightly better made
