1. Even though inflatable kayaks
are reinforced with special material for durability,
if your hit enough rocks with one on a grade 3-4
river, one day you'll be walking back to your vehicle
with a punctured inflatable kayak UNLESS you purchase
from the above store with their high quality kayaks.
2. Inflatable kayaks don't seem to cover your legs
the same way a conventional kayak does, making Eskimo
Rolls in a lake impossible.
3. Inflatable kayaks need to be self-inflating in
order to be truly functional. This means that when
you take off the cap for the air valve, air automatically
fills up the inflatable kayak. When full, you replace
and tighten the air valve cap. If inflatable kayaks
do not have this feature, they are not as useful.
4. Suppose you're in the middle of nowhere and you
need to patch a hole in your inflatable kayak with
a specialized patch kit. Finding the hole is one
thing, but how long do you have to wait before the
inflatable kayak is ready for water again? The longer
the wait, the less useful the water craft is. Bigger
holes or tears may be harder to patch, with a longer
waiting period.
5. Some of the more expensive inflatable kayaks
claim to be "self- bailing." What does
this mean? Do you need to carry a bailer in the
inflatable kayak? Since inflatable kayaks are not
covered on top in the same way conventioal kayaks
are, a sudden rush of water inside the inflatable
kayak may encourage it to sink.
6. Inflatable kayaks can be somewhat cheaper than
conventional kayaks, and this implies that inflatable
kayaks are inherently of lesser quality and durability.
Even though expensive inflatable kayaks are considered
to be much better than the cheaper ones, even an
expensive inflatable kayak will never compare to
a good conventional kayak.
7. Good conventional kayaks have enclosed compartments
for gear and supplies somewhere on top of the kayak,
but inflatable kayaks can only tie down gear and
supplies in an open-faced top area. This reqires
the user to enclose everything in water proof pouches.
This may not be a big deal, as long as the supply
bags don't become loose and go floating down a fast
river during a spill.
8. When riding an inflatable kayak, all sharp objects,
such as a knife or tent pegs, must be securely wrapped
and enclosed in a waterproof bag so it won't accidently
puncture the inflatable kayak, especially during
a spill. Care must also be taken not to have sharp
objects in your pocket, or on your person.
9. Eventually the reinforcing materials inside the
inflatable kayak will weaken from wear and tear
over the years, meaning that the overall safety
and durability of the inflatable kayak is reduced
with use.
10. Once an inflatable kayak has one or more patches
on it from needed repairs, its overall strength
and durability is compromised.
