Intex line of kayak come in a pretty wide variety of styles, so you can definitely find one that suits your individual preferences and needs. It is a good kayak for deep water bodies like deep lakes. Travelling with it is a breeze as the entire rig compacts into an easy to carry knapsack-type bag. An adjustable inflatable seat with back lets a kayaker paddle in comfort, while a removable skeg provides excellent stability and tracking. The construction of the boat is adequate and it inflated quite easily and quickly.

The manual pump that comes included with the kayak is easy to use and surprisingly fast. It is fairly cool outside plus it is a two stroke hand pump. The seats are adjustable and have straps to tighten. A paddle upgrade and a rechargeable pump make this a great, easy to transport kayak.
