Thank you for your review, our R2 delivered today, for use on our local canal and river which are almost on our doorstep, but also easy to pop in car and take to seaside this summer. As a slightly older lady I was worried about kayaking but you have inspired me to go for it. 😊

What a great review. We have found your video in our search for inflatable kayak reviews and this video is one of the best. The Razor R2 may well be the one for us, though we are still mulling it over. Originally our plan was for a solid canoe but lifting it onto a car roof and storage space at home have made us reconsider. That and our ages - not as young as we were 😂. So stability is important to us and something that we can travel with and the Rqzor looks stable. We live in the Norfolk Broads area so have lots of waterways to explore - just need to ‘take the plunge’ and decide on which boat. Love your duck dog Oti. Have subscribed so we can keep up with your adventures.

Hi. I'm just looking at different options for inflatable kayaks and have come across your review of the Razor. So far, the Itiwit X100 seemed the best option. Would you say that this Razor is worth the extra money? I'm a beginner, so stability is a big plus, but I also have lower back problems, so a high back comfortable seat is a major factor. I'd also like one that was easy to paddle and manoeuvre. I'm only looking to paddle on canals, rivers, and lakes, so I'm not looking for speed, but some 'momentum' would be welcome. Any advice would be very welcome. 😊
@OtiAdventureToller11 ай бұрын
Hi! So far, I'm definitely thinking it's worth the extra money. A lot of that though is the frequency with which I use it.... The seats don't suit me and I knew they wouldn't - I've just had one arrive from Bluefin with a lovely high back that I'll be trying out this week. In about a week I'll be doing an update review, after a few longer paddles and trying different seats - I hope that may help you? Unfortunately work has got in the way and days getting shorter, so haven't been out as much as I'd like!

Hi, My wife and I are planning on buying the R2 Razor, as its length of 14 ft seems ideal for both us, and Eddie our Border Collie. However, before taking the plunge, I would like your opinion on whether Eddie @ 20 kg would have enough space whilst sitting between the legs of the front seat paddler. At present, we are using our Bluefin Ranger kayak, which is a great Kayak by the way, but at 11 ft 6 is a little tight for our beloved mutt!.😀 PS Eddie boy hates sitting between us in the rear, as he likes to see where he is going. lol .. Many thanks
@OtiAdventureToller16 күн бұрын
I think he would have enough space - Oti is 20kg, and although my seat is set back I think there would still be plenty of room. One of the great things about Razor is that they let you try it inside and return if not right for you, so always an option? (Obviously don't put dog in, lol, but can see the size for yourself 😁).

What a fantastic review and video. I have been looking at inflatable kayaks (either from the Razor or Oz Inflatables which is another Australian brand) and in particular, one that can accommodate my dog. She is slightly bigger than your adorable Oti I think? What weight is Oti? I am even not sure how my dog will go on the water, but to see how stable it is with Oti moving around looks promising. Again, thank you for a fantastic review and I will be subscribing to your channel. The Razor 2 certainly has a lot of really good features it seems and it is so nice to see a review such as yours. We have some wonderful rivers to explore here in Australia, but your travel on the canal looks magical. Thank you and all the best for all of your adventures
@OtiAdventureToller4 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you very much!! Oti is around 20kg, and little Merlin at about 12kg will be joining us too. I have done a video on teaching your dog to paddle board if that's any help, and will follow Merlin from learning to wear his buoyancy aid to a solid wait and confidence in the kayak. Good luck finding the right kayak for you, let me know how it goes!
@paulcarter82155 ай бұрын
Lovely video and it certainly looks like a nice boat. I’d be interested in why you chose the Razor over the Chelan.
@OtiAdventureToller5 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you 🙂 Ultimately it came down to weight and price. I loved the Chelan, was just deciding to buy it and saw the size of bag it came in. At 5'5" I couldn't get it on my back, let alone carry it half a mile to water! The lighter version was amazing, but twice the price and I just couldn't justify that 🙂

Hi, great review. I have purchased the same kayak. Mine arrived covered in scratches which razor said was common. Can I ask whether your kayak had any scratches on it when it arrived.? They are mainly on the side tubes and show up white compared to the blue base colour. Many thanks.
@OtiAdventureToller7 ай бұрын
Hi! Thank you 🙂 I think there were a couple of scratches, not noticeable at all after first use. To be honest I'd have to look back at photos or the video to double check I'm afraid! The company are great to talk to, so could perhaps give a ring and ask if it's normal?
