Where do I start? A massive thumbs up from me and if I could give more than 5 stars I would. It's the best £91 I think I've ever spent. It was the reviews that made my final decision in purchasing this kayak and I'm not disappointed. I've been kayaking a few times but only on the local lake where not only is it quite expensive for the hire but you have a limited space and limited time. This allows you as much freedom as you like and although I've only been out on it twice It's pretty much paid for itself. The inflation is super easy and in 15 minutes it was on the water. Just make sure you inflate the bottom first before the sides. The first time I went out with it I took my friend and large cool box plus additional bits and there were no issues regards the weight. Decent amount of space for two and plenty for one so that was a massive plus if you needed to put your camping gear in with you. I brought a dry bag which came with a waterproof phone case and some aqua trainers. I put all the bits I needed ie; towel change of clothes etc into the dry bag which fitted nicely at the front underneath the netting. Paddling along the river with a bit of music on and the sun beaming down on you whilst watching the wildlife is serene. Great for my mental and physical health I just wish I'd thought about buying one years ago. The ball ache is the packing down but then I guess it always is. I found that slightly deflating it and tipping one end up and soaking up the excess water before doing the same with the other end a lot easier. Then deflate the whole thing before packing it away. When you get home half inflate it and give it a good wipe out before leaving it to air dry then fold away for next time. Yea it may be a faff but if you take the time and effort it should and I'm hoping last me and you a very long time. The only negative things I could say is that there were no ropes/strings to be able to secure it if you wanted to pull up alongside the river and take a break. Not a problem though because I improvised and put the end of the paddle through the netting at the front and the other end on the bank and stuck my rucksack on it. The second thing was not being able to know what PSI you was at when inflating the kayak. You just have to guess, I watched a video on you tube first which helped. For the price it's well worth it I genuinely love it and the freedom and the smile it puts on your face is priceless. Highly recommended.

What's not to like. I bought this to see if I like kayaking for this amount it comes with everything to get you straight on the water (except life jacket). Is the bag awkward heavy to carry? Yes, but this small negative outweighs the positives. It's not really stable but again it's and entry level Kayak. Tracks ok not the best even with skeg in but it's a low budget kayak not a massive issue. I've used it about 10 times so far each time at least 4hrs at a time mostly a lot longer and perfect for me and my 5 year old. I find the seats comfortable some may say different the paddles are not that great but again it's practically a pool toy. I mainly use it for cannals just master/practice/watch videos how to get in and out of a kayak first. I can carry it on my own for portaging yes it's heavy but not impossible, i start carrying it with my arms then use my head for extra support. I've just upgraded my kayak to a lighter quality better floor kayak just for my own preference so I can take my dog I wouldn't want to risk my dog in this kayak. Overall for a newbie you will be extremely happy and helps you find what you like and don't like about a kayak without the huge expense so next kayak you know what to look for. Quick setup be on the water in 10mins I would advise buying ropes tie either end especially if using it on a cannal so it don't get away.

I bought this for my wife and I to use when we are on holiday in her native Italy. We leave it over there ready for use when we visit. Being inflatable I make sure that it is stored properly when we leave, but when it is inflated and used it is very easy to manage in terms of size and weight. Looks great on the water and can deal with modest swells on the sea. Not good though when waves start to break over it as it is low lying and can fill up easily with larger waves crashing over it. Comes with two inflatable and adjustable seats, and two collapsible double- headed paddles. Also includes the directional fin and a small puncture repair kit, although the plastic is quite heavy gauge and shows no signs of wear after several beachings on a pebble beach! There is a cargo covering net on the front and a tethering cable at the rear for holding onto. The front net also allows storage of a few small waterproof bags if needed where you can clip them onto the net for security. It also comes with a decent hand pump for inflation, although it can't be used for deflation, which in my view is surprising and a pity. There are other kayaks which are heavier duty and more professional in terms of design and quality, but for a fairly cheap product, this is actually pretty good quality and is very stable on the water (in coastal waters that are fairly calm). It also looks nice and you get some admiring glances from other beach-goers when it's set up and in use. If you want to transport it for holiday use it's probably best to buy a dedicated luggage trolley-bag but means you will need to pay for an extra bag when travelling on most airlines. However, with the right size bag the kayak and all the bits that go with it can be transported as a pack in a neat way. The carry bag that comes with it is too flimsy for airline use. We've had a lot of fun with it since we bought it and hope to continue to do so. p.s. don't over-inflate it or leave it in the sun fully inflated, both of these can cause bursting of the valves seals or seams resulting in difficult to repair damage. If you do leave it out in the sun just let some of the air out to relieve the pressure.

Well built. Good material. But border police stopped me from using on open sea.

Design Ergonomico e Stabile: La prima cosa che ho notato è stata la stabilità del kayak. Anche in acque leggermente agitate, mi sono sentito sicuro e a mio agio. Il design aerodinamico e la larghezza del kayak offrono un ottimo equilibrio, permettendomi di navigare senza preoccupazioni. Facile da Gonfiare e Sgonfiare: Il processo di gonfiaggio è estremamente semplice e veloce grazie alla pompa inclusa. In pochi minuti, ero pronto per partire! Al termine dell’uscita, il kayak si sgonfia altrettanto facilmente e si ripiega in una dimensione compatta, perfetta per il trasporto e lo stoccaggio. Comfort e Spazio: Il sedile è ben imbottito e comodo, permettendo di trascorrere ore in acqua senza affaticarsi. Ho apprezzato anche il design a due posti, che rende questo kayak perfetto per condividere l’esperienza con un amico o un familiare. C’è ampio spazio per muoversi e riporre attrezzature, il che è un grande vantaggio! Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo: Il Challenger K2 offre un eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo. Con un costo accessibile, ho ottenuto un kayak robusto e durevole, adatto sia ai principianti che agli esperti. È una scelta ideale per chi desidera esplorare laghi, fiumi e coste senza spendere una fortuna. Avventure Memorabili: La cosa migliore di questo kayak è l’esperienza che offre. Ho passato splendide giornate esplorando nuovi luoghi e godendo della natura. È un modo fantastico per mantenersi attivi e divertirsi, e il Challenger K2 rende tutto ciò possibile senza complicazioni. In conclusione, consiglio vivamente il Kajak Intex Challenger K2 a chiunque cerchi un kayak gonfiabile di alta qualità e facile da usare. È un prodotto che ha reso le mie avventure acquatiche indimenticabili e non vedo l'ora di portarlo in nuove esplorazioni. Un investimento che vale assolutamente la pena!

after using 2 times, I had a hole in one of the junctions in a place very hard to repair, I tried the repair stick that comes with the kayak(also very poor quality) but the role was bigger and bigger, unfortunately there is no time to return it

Avevo letto sia recensioni positive, che recensioni negative in proposito ed ero titubante, ma visto il prezzo basso e l'ottima politica di reso di amazon gli ho dato una possibilità. Ne sono rimasto piacevolmente colpito, è di buona qualità, bello da vedere e funzionale. L'ho testato in mare in una giornata che allinizio era ventosa , ma verso la fine del giro si è trasformata in calma quasi piatta e quindi ho potuto vedere come si comporta il kayak in entrambe le condizioni. Con vento mi ha stupito per come nonostante si faccia più fatica fisica comunque è governabile grazie alla pinna e con onde sui 30 cm si mantiene stabile sia che si prendano di lato che di fronte, non ho mai avuto la sensazione di stare per ribaltarmi. Senza vento si fatica molto meno ma comunque di più rispetto ad un kayak solido, però visto che l'acquisto era per divertimi ma comuque facendo esercizio non lo considero un punto negativo anzi. Nel complesso è divertente, molto comodo da trasportare, velocissimo da gonfiare ( a 10 minuti dall'arrivo in spiaggia ero in acqua) , e ci si naviga bene. Rimane molto comoda la retina anteriore che ha tenuto ben saldo uno zaino con l'indispensabile per l'uscita e è molto capiente la parte interna dietro il sedile per riporre la pompa sacca e una borsa stagna. Unica cosa negativa : questo kayak è fornito con una pompa che NON ha la funzione di sgnofiaggio, e quindi a fine giro non si riesce a togliere tutta l'aria e a piegare benissimo il kayak e occorre lottare un pò per fare entrare tutto nella borsa. Per questo motivo consiglio l'acquisto contemporaneo di una pompa che fa sia gonfiaggio che sgonfiaggio, e qua su amazon sempre della intex ce ne è una a circa 12 euro che ha ottime recensioni. Aggiungio un suggerimento: Molti nelle recensioni negative si lamentavano di avere perso la pinna in acqua, e nonostate a me sia sembrato efficente il sistema di bloccaggio, per non correre il rischio consiglio di sacrificare una classica molletta per appendere il bucato e usarne metà per fare da cuneo che si incastra perfettamente sul meccanismo della pinna e ne rende impossibile il distacco.
