Aqua MarinaTomahawk Air-K Kayak

First kayak purchase. Can’t compare to anything else. Did my research. Reviews stated not stable.! But you sacrifice a bit of stability for speed. It’s all about centre balance. I found it very easy to keep upright, and manoeuvre. Inflated and deflated fast. Packs well, and even got two life jackets inside. Overall build is top quality for the price. Feels really firm in the water, with efficient strokes. Pack size is manageable, I managed to carry it a few miles to a River!I also purchased the aqua marina paddles, which go perfectly together.Buy cheap, buy twice. This kayak is on the higher price end, but a good investment. Should last a long time with care. I did question a small concern, but aqua marina responded to me fast via email.

It is high quality, easy to inflate. Good appearance. But it is like proffesional boat, so it is not very stable on the water, you need get some experience to learn how to use it on vawes for example. Or even on clear water, it still need some time to learn how to stay stable on water.

Really good inflatable Kayak - sturdy, fast, easy to inflate - given me a great summer on the river. It may seem expensive, but I suppose that depends on the value/fun it brings you (I got mine for a "significant birthday" so cost wasn't so important.People have mentioned it being "unstable" - I sometimes have a small wobble when I first get in, but it's just a case of getting in the right position - absolutely fine after that. Other than that, highly manoeuvrable with no problems. I did find a got back-side-ache with the provided seat (I tend to be out for up to 3 hours) so I bought a padded seat cushion which helps. The bag is big - which I like because I don't have to wrestle the kayak back in, plus I can fit in other items in (life jacket - rain jacket - beach shoes etc).

Great kayak, feels like a very premium product and handles beautifully on the water. Super easy to inflate and deflate / clean and store, first time using it we were on the water in 20 mins. The only thing that lets this down is the bag feels very cheap, uncomfortable straps and uncomfortable to carry for any distance as it is quite heavy (especially wet).

The drying process is the only annoying part because there’s always water left lol

This kayak is not for everyone, definitely not for the first one! I had absolutely nightmare and send it back.

I used to have an itiwit 3 kayak and feel free Corona. This Kayak is fast, very easy to inflate, light to carry and comfortable. However, its not very stable, especially when you have a 6 year old in the front as well as mum and dad. I would worry about taking it on the sea. The main annoyance I have though is with packing it away into its bag. There are no videos on how to do this with this kayak only related ones which don't seem to work. The instructions that came with it don't cover it either!

The most unstable inflatable kayak ever. I don't see how anyone can go more than a meter without this flipping you. Avoid
