Inflatable kayaks

Carrying a full length kayak on the Trayon isn't impossible, but it is a bit inconvenient.

This is how I took my 5.2 metre K1 down to Geelong for the AMG. The kayak sat on a removable wooden frame, so both the frame and the kayak were removed each night and replaced each morning.

The inconvenience was tolerable for a one week trip, but when I took a 3.7 metre child's kayak down to the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart, I left the kayak with Justin Cooper for a couple of weeks while I toured the east coast of Tasmania.

As I said, not impossible, just inconvenient.

I have seen photos elsewhere of kayaks on roof bars on dual cabs. A frame extending up from the bullbar combined with the roof bars gives good support.

I've got a point 65 martini, Its a modular kayak and goes great.

Not really built for the size of kids. Though you are able to keep adding the middle section into them. So an adult can be at the back of the kayak controlling the rudder and add kids into the other sections. Which is what i do when out with the scouts.

Hey, any updates? I to am in the same situation as the op. I think an inflatable is just what I need as I do not feel like dragging a regular one all over the place. I'm thinking about getting the solstice flash . Does anybody have any experience with this one?

Thanks is advance for any updates or advice on what inflatable kayak I just should get would be greatly appreciated.

We ended up finding a Inflatable Kayak Reviews » Blog Archive Sevylor QuikPak K5 Inflatable Kayak Review second hand. Much better quality than I thought. Might not be top of the range, but certainly keeps us happy. Very light and packs up to about the size of 2 beer cartons. I'd be keen on finding another one to allow 2 of us to go for a paddle.
