My wife loves her Wave Kayak. Very simple to set up and tear down.

Before I review the Kayak - shout out to customer service at Wave. Antria was super helpful. Delivery was also quick (it came the next day despite being ordered on a Bank Holiday Monday). Now the kayak itself. Everything is as shown in the pictures. The two-way pump was a bonus as it makes putting it up a lot quicker. Instructions could have been slightly clearer in order of inflation (put the base in first, etc., for a bit of an idiot's guide). I have a Wave SUP, and it came with fold lines to make packing up easier - missing from the kayak. Getting it on the water was easy - the river was frisky, but the kayak felt sturdy and safe. My boys had a great time. I think 2 adults might find it a bit of a squish. Great value for money and I can't wait to get more use out of it.

This is our third purchase from Wave; we also have a Woody and Recon SUP. The kayak is great it inflates quickly (we did use an electric pump ;). The seats are easy to use and comfortable, with a useful zip pocket on the back. The paddles are great and quite lightweight. We are two adults on the shorter size so the 1-2 people kayak accommodated us well. We tried it out on the local canal and it was easy to get into. Folds up well and all goes in a useful carry bag. Looking forward to using this on the sea and other places. This was also really good quality compared to others available elsewhere for a similar price. The floor panel which inflated to 15psi makes all the difference.

Firstly, I bought this for my husband who tested my fully drop stitched kayak and instantly capsized - he needed some more stability but without all the squishiness of inflatables. The Explorer is perfect. It has a really rigid drop stitch base. The sides are standard inflatable but they are very solid and definitely not squishy. This was the 1-2 seater but still came with 2 seats, 2 paddles and 2 footrests and all very decent quality, as was the bag. Only downside….could do with some clearer instructions. Well done - a great buy.

The kayak is great - really easy to set up, excellent quality and easy to pack away (I didn't try to get everything in the bag, but it easily goes in the boot of the car). We saw a YouTube review saying it's too small for 2 people. I'm short (5'2"), so I sit in the front with my legs crossed. I'm not sure how comfortable this would be for long trips. So if you are 2 tall adults, I'd go for the 2-3 seater.

Hi my first time on water surprise me how that kayak is stabil amazing easy for drive but sometimes the paddle handle gets in the way a bit I think longer paddle will solve the problem but overall the kayak is great and worth recommending.
