This is definitely one of the smallest kayak packages I have seen. It folds up Into a very SMALL package that is easy to carry and store in a small space. The Challenger may just be the most portable kayak ever. I quite enjoyed propping my feet out of the cockpit onto the top of the kayak and soaking up the warm sun. It couldn’t be more ideal to take camping, bring along in the RV and for adults or kids to play around with. However it is perfect for warm days at the lake, cruising along ocean bays and building up those paddling muscles. It is not designed for anything too crazy and I wouldn’t want to get stuck in heavy winds with this little kayak. The Intex Challenger K1 is best suited for flat water paddling and total beginners. However I have seen pictures of those who have taken their dogs and made it work. I haven’t tried paddling it with my dogs, there isn’t a lot of extra space for them. Very cool!Įven though it is small in size there is ample room in the cockpit to get comfortable. To be clear this is not my favourite inflatable kayak, BUT…Ĭonsidering that I paid very little for it on I was very pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and ultra portable it was.įor a crazy low price you get the kayak, a compact paddle, a pump and a fin, which all fits inside the included carry bag. ![]() I decided this kayak needed to be given a fair chance so I bought one and put it through my full testing process. However when a friend of mine showed up with her new Intex Challenger one day when we were going out paddling I was so surprised by just how much fun it was. When inflatable kayaks get compared to pool toys, the Intex Challenger is what comes to my mind. I never really took this kayak seriously.
