Having wanted a kayak for a long time, but being put off by having to carry it to the canal and the possibility of it being stolen when keeping it outside, I was curious as to how good a substitute this product would be. I really, really like this product - I wish I'd have bought one earlier.
First off, you will need a pump, which I didn't buy with this product. I'd assumed that I'd have some ends for a bicycle pump that would fit it, but alas no. I ended up buying one very similar to this: Sevylor 2X2L Hand Pump Foot Pump (which also looks pretty similar to my bicycle pump that was no good), so I'd recommend you buy the pump with the boat. I thought that pumping the boat up would take a long time, however this was not the case and I'd be very surprised if it takes anyone more than five minutes. First you inflate the floor of the boat with the valve in the back of the boat. Then you inflate the two side chambers, which have different valves to the previous one - these unscrew in two parts, the lower part needs to be screwed on while inflating. Lastly, you inflate the two small air chambers on the front and rear splash guards, though these wouldn't really make any difference to the boat floating. Now you're ready to go!
While I do plan on using the boat in both rivers and the sea (though, obviously not a really windy sea given that it's an inflatable), I have only used it in a canal so far. There's not a great deal to say here, other than it performed as expected (ie didn't sink!). When you paddle, it does rotate a little more than a standard kayak, which is probably because it's much lighter and sits higher in the water. Oh, and swans don't seem to like it...
Being a reasonably heavy adult male, there is no way that this boat would (if the maximum weight limit is to be believed) hold three people, even if one of those was a child. Though it does work great for two people and would even hold two of me. There's also space in an area behind the back seat where you can put your drinks and some food - just make sure you wrap it up in waterproof packaging.
When it comes to time to deflate the boat, you'll also want to dry it or wipe it dry with a towel. Deflation is straight forward, though having a pump that also deflates helps. Getting the boat back into it's backpack form wasn't straight forward at first, until I stopped folding it and tried rolling it up instead. The fact that the boat rolls up into a backpack is a massive plus, meaning you can take the kayak on a train to some water!
Lastly, don't forget you'll need at least one paddle: Sevylor K-Perf230 Kayak Double Paddle Aluminium Shaft Inflatable Accessory - Black.

What a great purchase - we went for the 2+1 to get a little more space and fit a little one in the middle if needed and it does just that. Great for 2 or 3 of you in, maybe a touch too big for one but still fun! Its so quick & easy to pump (bought the sevylor pump) We needed two for us & the kids so we needed to watch the price but still get decent products and these were supposedly tougher than others at a similar price. We have used them most days. The seats are really comfy and it is very stable. We found that you perhaps dont have the bottom fully inflated so that the kyaks arent too high out of the water to get the right balance. Great fun for Friends and family on the river! The rudder is a must!

This has provided family and friends with great fun for all ages. Well made and easy to assemble and inflate. I bought a skeg to make it easier to steer when paddling with children but otherwise a great experience on the water.

seat issue
Recently purchased and tested on a trip on a lake. Easy to assemble and inflate. Seats though a little uncomfortable after a while but a nice enjoyable paddle over the lake.
