| This is a one or two person inflatable kayak from one of the premier raft manufactures, NRS. They made their name on the big western rivers. This kayak paddles well, is extremely stable, easy to maneuverable and Tracks well, especially with some extra weight, due to some design features in the hull. It will fit in your trunk or closet and inflate quidkly with a good hand pump or (I recommend this) a 12 volt pump. These rafts are proven performers, very high quality, durable and fun. When you paddle alongside others in ridged kayaks of comparable length you will notice they have a slight advantage in speed, however, you have the advantage in weight, cost, space, stability, load carrying capacity and with it's inflated floor,it can double as a very comfortable camp bed; the bed thing is my opinion. Come and see for yourself if an inflatable is in dreams. | ||||||

Kayaks are available in several kinds of materials and with different construction methods: Composite kayaks are made from fiberglass, kevlar and graphite in different combinations. Fiberglass, is very durable and makes a strong and economical kayak. Kevlar is lighter and very tough so less needs to be used to make a strong and very durable kayak. Graphite is even lighter than kevlar and is used in strategic locations on some models. Plastic, Super Compound Linear Polyethylene, (SCL) is extremely tough and durable. It is used in the rotomolded models. Cuts or breaks are so rare I have never seen one, even on white water boats. UV inhibitors are blended in to protect from the sun. This is the most economical durable material Current Designs kayaks are built with. The down side is a little bit of flex and a bit more extra weight. Thermoformed Composite System (TCS). These are made from an Acrylic and ABS plastic laminate. This plastic is stiffer and lighter than SCL polyethylene. It has the look and light weight of a fiberglass kayak, but costs less. For a more in depth description of these materials the Current Designs web site, or a catalog will help. Also feel free to contact us. |
