Bestway Hydro-Force Rapid X2 Kayak with Oars, 2 Person Capacity

Product Information

Thanks to the four carrying handles, you can carry and put the inflatable kayak into the water by yourself. Due to the open construction and the wide side tubes, getting into the kayak is very easy and safe without the feeling of capsizing. Transport to the water and boarding is easy and safe As long as there is no puddle in the boat, you will usually stay dry. However, as we think it is a fair weather boat, it should not be a big problem in summer, as most people will paddle in swimming trunks then. We like the fact that the seat is attached to the ground with Velcro and does not slip when paddling. Because of the low air pressure of the floor chamber, you sit soft and comfortable on the ground. The kayak weighs 14kgs, is 3.40m long and just over 1m wide. It is made of 3 main bladders, 1 for each side and 1 for the wide floor. This setup improves the kayak’s stability. There are 2 other bits to inflate, which are the seats. Once inflated the seats are very comfortable and add height to the seating position, improving the paddling experience.

The Hydro-Force™ Ventura Elite™ X2 Kayak is the perfect vessel to level up your outdoor experiences with a partner-in-adventure. Hydro-Force offers not only inflatable boats but also stand-up paddleboats and parts and accessories, like their coil leash and paddles. Their line of inflatables covers Hydro-Force dinghies (for ex. the Hydro-Force Mirovia Pro inflatable boat), Hydro-Force kayaks (notably the Bestway Lite Rapid x2 inflatable kayak) and Hydro-Force inflatable rafts, offering customers different designs, sizes, and prices to choose from. Hydro-Force Technology& Construction Removable fins, which make it easier to store and will add directional stability while you are on the water When paddling the kayak with two persons, a speed of up to 4 – 4.5 km/h (2.5 – 2.8 mph). The straight run is okay with the two fins as long as there is no wind. For short distances the space for two persons is acceptable, on long distances the interior is clearly too small. The Bestway kayak can be paddled solo or with two persons The multi-part double-bladed paddle does not wobble, which is unusual for such a cheap paddle (which is included with some cheap inflatable kayaks). The reason for the stability is that the rods of the paddle are not inserted but screwed into the connecting piece. What we cannot say is whether they will wobble after frequent use,. The connecting piece also serves as paddle handle. The paddle handle has a bad feel and is too uncomfortable for long paddling tours.

Complete kayak set that includes not only the kayak itself but also accessories, such as a double-sided paddle, heavy duty repair patch, and air hammer hand pump Furthermore we find the double-bladed paddles with a length of 218 cm (7’2”) too short. For an inflatable kayak with a full width of 94 cm (3’1”) and the flat seats we constantly touch the tubes with the short paddles. We adapted our paddling technique so that when we inserted the paddle blade into the water we held the paddle a little more to the left or right. If the paddles were long enough (at least 230 cm / 7’5”, better 240 cm / 7’9”) it would not be necessary and the paddling would be more comfortable. The included paddles are quite stable but much too short The Hydro-Force™ Koracle™ X1 is a sit-on inflatable kayak that is ideal for a fishing trip or a relaxing day on the water. With excellent control and maneuverability on the water, this one-person sit-on kayak gives you the freedom to roam and find the best areas for a spot of fishing.

The dismantling of the kayak is very simple. You unscrew the Boston valve completely out of the thread so that the air can escape. If you have time, you can dry the boat in the sun with the valves open. Otherwise you can wipe it a little bit dry and unfold and dry it again at home. If you store the boat wet for a longer period of time, mildew will form on the nylon. Drying the boat in the cellar took longer than one night. We had to lay the boat down again in a different position so that all wet spots could dry. Otherwise we could not really dry the boat. For a short paddling fun on the water the effort of drying the boat is quite big in the end.
