I spent the first few weeks paddling around a small lake behind my home and had no complaints. The Challenger is easy to inflate, easy to deflate, and fitting it back inside the carrying bag was easy as well. I would recommend purchasing a higher quality paddle because the one that comes with the Challenger is a bit short and not very durable. After approximately three weeks of use my paddle cracked, but since the packaged deal was so cheap I didn’t mind purchasing a new one. ----After about two months of paddling around in small bodies of water, some friends of mine and I decided to go on an 11 mile trip down a popular local creek that we heard was ideal for inner-tubing and kayaking. In hindsight, that decision turned out to be one of the worst we had ever made. Our trip took place in early May, 2011, and just two weeks prior much of our area was devastated by tornados. The creek was low, so we all drug out kayaks through ankle-deep water for the first half-mile. Once the water deepened a little bit we were kayaking like some pros, but at around the three mile mark we encountered some trees that had fallen across the creek. I was particularly nervous since my kayak was the only inflatable of the bunch, but I threw it on top of the pile of trees, climbed up beside it, threw it down into the water, and began cruising again. Less than 5 minutes after our first climb over trees, we encountered several more fallen trees. Again, I threw my Challenger on top of the pile of trees, climbed up beside it, threw it down into the water, climbed in, and paddled on. We all kept telling ourselves that we had to have gone through the worst of it, but the fallen trees we kept coming up on proved us wrong. The estimated three-hour casual kayaking trip we planned turned into 8 hours of tossing or pulling kayaks on top of tree piles (most of which were 10-12 feet high), dragging kayaks through shallow water, and navigating around all of the household items (lawn mowers, refrigerators, etc.) the tornados had dropped in the creek. About four hours into the trip I was hoping that my Challenger would get a hole in it so that I would have had a good excuse to scale the wall of the creek, walk to the nearest road, and call someone to come pick me up. Unfortunately, none of the abuse my Challenger received that day fazed it….not one single hole! ----After the “trauma” of that trip I decided kayaking was not for me and I draped my Challenger over a fence in my yard to dry. The kayak remained on top of that fence in blistering heat, rain, and cold for the next 9 months. In early 2012, I finally removed the Challenger from my fence, folded it up, put it in its bag, and stuck it in my shed. Recently I decided to give kayaking another try so I broke out the old Challenger and pumped it up to see if its time on the fence had damaged it. The Challenger pumped up as easy as the day I bought it, and it did not have a single leak. ----Overall, I would say that the Intek Challenger K1 Kayak is a great product and ideal for beginners or those who have to walk long distances to get to where they are going to be paddling. The kayak, paddle, and pump are relatively lightweight and easy to carry in the included case. As I said before, I would recommend purchasing a separate paddle since the one that comes in the kit is not the best quality. The Challenger does not glide through the water like most high-dollar solid-shell kayaks, but it easy to paddle and steer. If you are like I once was and want to try kayaking without investing a lot of money, the Intel Challenger K1 is what you need. Review: Best purchase this summer!!!! - Bought this for the convenience of living in an apartment + budget friendly vs a real kayak and honestly it’s great. I’ve only taken it out once so far, but it’s SO easy. It comes with everything in a big fabric bag that weighs about 30lbs. And the raft itself has 2 spots to blow up. I didn’t use the pump provided, I used a super small rechargeable electric one which worked wonders. But this size is great for one or two people. If you want to relax on the water this is perfect for a solo adventure. I attached one seat instead of two and was able to lay in the kayak more like a raft with the seat as a pillow and was super comfortable. Took me a minute to realise I was t even sitting up properly to kayak because I was so comfortable with all the room! There’s space in the front and back, I was able to put the cloth bag in the back and had tons of leg room. I just put a towel down. Paddles were solidly sturdy too. I’ve seen some comments about dogs in them and that’s next on my list. I’m going to take my pug out once I get a yoga mat or something to lay down, but it was great. I was on the water for about 4 hours and didn’t have any issues with it deflating or anything. The only caveat I noticed was it did get pushed around by the wind pretty easily when I was trying to just lay. Could be because of the kayak shape or most likely because it’s inflatable. But otherwise it was great. ## Features - Plastic - Imported - ✔ SUPER-STRONG – SuperStrong enhanced molecular formulation PVC provides superior strength and durability, ensuring high impact and abrasion resistance - ✔ LOW PROFILE DESIGN – The Challenger K2 has a streamlined low-profile design that is perfect for easy paddling in lakes and mild rivers - ✔ COCKPIT SEATS – Built with removable and adjustable seats, the cockpit design is spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of room for your legs and gear - ✔ REMOVABLE SKEG – Attached to the underside of the kayak, the removable skeg provides directional stability, making it easier to maintain a straight and steady course while paddling - ✔ 2-PERSON CAPACITY – Inflated size is 11.6 feet x 2.6 feet x 1.3 feet with a weight capacity of 400 pounds and easily foldable to be put in the carry bag that allows for easy transportation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00177FIJ8 | | Brand | Intex | | Brand Name | Intex | | Color | green/blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 35,180 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06941057463063 | | Included Components | skeg | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 138"L x 30"W x 15"H | | Item Type Name | Kayak | | Item Weight | 32.67 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Intex | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6941057463063 | | Material | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Material Type | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Model Name | Challenger | | Model Number | 68306NP | | Seating Capacity | 2 | | Style | 2-Person | | Style Name | 2-Person | | UPC | 078257314928 | | Unit Count | 602.24 Ounce | | Warranty Description | 90-Day Limited Manufacturer | | Weight Capacity Maximum | 400 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intex - **Color:** green/blue - **Item Weight:** 32.7 Pounds - **Material:** Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - **Style:** 2-Person ## Images ![INTEX Challenger Inflatable Kayak Series: Includes Deluxe 86in Kayak Paddles and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Adjustable Seat with Backrest – Removable Skeg – Cargo Storage Net - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712jJgznA9L.jpg) ![INTEX Challenger Inflatable Kayak Series: Includes Deluxe 86in Kayak Paddles and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Adjustable Seat with Backrest – Removable Skeg – Cargo Storage Net - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eQPt-dycL.jpg) ![INTEX Challenger Inflatable Kayak Series: Includes Deluxe 86in Kayak Paddles and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Adjustable Seat with Backrest – Removable Skeg – Cargo Storage Net - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91MbGudQDoL.jpg) ![INTEX Challenger Inflatable Kayak Series: Includes Deluxe 86in Kayak Paddles and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Adjustable Seat with Backrest – Removable Skeg – Cargo Storage Net - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JnpgGFeaL.jpg) ![INTEX Challenger Inflatable Kayak Series: Includes Deluxe 86in Kayak Paddles and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Adjustable Seat with Backrest – Removable Skeg – Cargo Storage Net - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913oc-hsGEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi! I'd like to purchase an Intex Challenger K1 Kayak. How long does it take to inflate, assemble, disassemble and deflate? thank you!** A: I had the same question and this setup video was super helpful for me: https://youtu.be/6sKhIEEFxSY b/c u can watch a high school girl inflate and assemble everything in real-time (shows you how do-able it really is). Personally I was getting confused hearing everyone's opinion on how long it would take but watching someone, I could judge a lot easier :) I've found that just the Kayak can be inflated in about 3 min. And then inflating the other items, assembling the paddle, etc. can all be done in about 7-8min or under 10min no problem. And one helpful trick when deflating it is to approach it like you're rolling air out of an air mattress. Doing that works a lot better than trying to fold up the Kayak to get the air out. Hope that helps! **Q: how does it work in a river were it can drag on rocks at times** A: I've now had this particular kayak for 3 years. and i had the model right before it for 2 years(gave to a friend). both have held up wonderfully to everything including being beached and scooting my self and the kayak across the shallow rocks, i've run into twigs and branches, over submerged logs and snails and run into other sharp edges with absolutely no cuts or tears, no slow leaks. and not only am i not easy on this thing, i myself weigh 40 lbs over the weight limits and i usually carry 20-30 lbs of stuff with me on it. i absolutely love this thing, it easily fits back in its bag and goes in the trunk. when/if it ever pop's i will be getting another one. **Q: IS THIS PRODUCT DURRABLE?** A: I've had mine for just over a year and used it 10 times (1x on the river and 9x in lakes). I've been pretty careful not to rub on rocks or anything and always store in a cool shed, but do empty and fold up after each use. Now there is a hole, along a seam on the bottom that won't hold the patches provided. Hopefully using HH-66 vinyl cement like has been recommended will fix the issue. **Q: We lost the removable skeg on our Intex Challenger K2 Kayak and were wondering if we could buy a replacement part?** A: If you're looking for the 6" skeg I can confirm that 12181 on the Intex website fits. As of 7/1/19 it's $3 for one and shipping is $5. https://www.intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/sporting-goods/sport-series-boats/kayaks/12181-skeg-for-kayaks/ ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for first-timers and EXTREMELY durable *by J***6 on July 12, 2013* ----I purchased the Intek Challenger K1 to try kayaking and see if I enjoyed it enough to warrant spending $500-$600 on a solid-shell vessel.

But otherwise it was great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic *by C***E on June 11, 2020* My husband and I are on an extended stay in Florida but our vehicle is a Prius. We couldn't fit two kayaks in it if we tried and we didn't want to purchase a roof rack. So we found these kayaks. For the most part, they are 5 stars but there are a few things to note and why I marked it as a 4 star. 1. Inflates in just under 2 minutes. I use the K1 (one seater) and my 6'4 hubs uses the K2 (two seater) It takes me 60 pumps for the base and 40 pumps for the top. His K2 takes 90 pumps for the base and 60 for the top. It is extremely easy. We are nearly 60 years of age and it was a piece of cake to fill these kayaks. 2 minutes for each of us. 2. They deflate in under 30 seconds. I usually put mine in the car inflated then undo the plugs and fold over. By the time Jeff gets his into the car, mine is fully deflated. 3. They are a very nice quality, mostly. We kayak nearly every morning at sunrise and about twice a week at sunset. Additionally, we do an all day trip usually at least one weekend day every week, sometimes both days. In the first month of ownership, Jeff got a small tear. To be fair, he hit an oyster shoal. What was remarkable, is this did not cause him to sink. We carry the provided patches with us but we decided it would be better to use the higher quality patch (sold separately) if we could get back. We were over a mile from our launch site but his kayak barely deflated. After the initial hissing, it stopped deflating and was completely fine until we made it back. I have since gotten a small tear in one of the seat backs (separate piece) Both were easy to patch, we did, however, purchase a higher quality product for repairs from Intex than the provided patch. These separately sold products require 48 hours though so do not use on the trail, the ones that come with the kayak cure in a half hour. 4. These are insanely comfortable. There is simply no comparison to the comfort of these kayaks to a traditional kayak. 5. But they are slower. If you are kayaking with someone else in a regular kayak, they will have an easier/quicker experience. But if your whole party is using these it doesn't matter at all. We drink our coffee watching the sunrise nearly every morning and it is pure heaven. 6. In summary, we would still purchase again. Although, we had to repair and we anticipate having to repair again, the repairs appear to stay repaired. The tears occurred after extensive use. The price is great and the fun is endless, not to mention you can take them ANYWHERE! ## Frequently Bought Together - INTEX Challenger Inflatable Kayak Series: Includes Deluxe 86in Kayak Paddles and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Adjustable Seat with Backrest – Removable Skeg – Cargo Storage Net - HEETA Dry Bag Waterproof for Women Men, 5L/10L/20L/30L/40L Roll Top Lightweight Dry Storage Bag Backpack with Phone Case for Travel, Swimming, Boating, Kayaking, Camping & Beach, 11 Transparent Colors - Stearns Adult Life Vest, USCG Approved Type III Life Jacket, PFD for Boating, Swimming, Watersports, & More, Standard & Oversized Fits --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/579285-intex-challenger-inflatable-kayak-series-includes-deluxe-86in-kayak-paddles](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/579285-intex-challenger-inflatable-kayak-series-includes-deluxe-86in-kayak-paddles) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
