“I bought the 2 person kayak because I was so pleased with my pure art SUP. Our other Decathlon kayak was long overdue an upgrade so it just made sense to buy from Fatstick as the quality of their products is so good and the customer care is excellent.
First couple of outings on the kayak have been great. My wife can paddle it by herself no problem which means I can take my SUP at the same time!
It does feel a little bit rocky / lively at first and getting in and out can be a bit unsteady but you soon get used to this. It’s quite heavy and a pair of extra carry handles on the sides of the boat would be helpful when carrying by yourself and also for holding to steady the boat when your partner’s getting in / out.
Overall, very pleased with the kayak. Once in the water it glides through any chop with ease and is easy to paddle.”
“Have used it only once so far but I have found it good quality and value for money with the discount. Inflating and set up is fairly easy and will improve with practice. Packing away was quite easy too”
“First time paddling a drop stitch kayak. Having received good service from fatstick previously, it was a no brainer to order this from then.
It's a stable boat, paddles well, with loads of space.”
“Like all inflatable kayaks there's more time involved setting up and packing away than a hard-shell (we have 5 of these).
Pros: Performance on this kayak is good in terms of speed as it sits flat on the water, and at 9 psi feels rock hard.
Cons: The paddle was not to the liking of my wife, so you may wish to think about getting a different one. Despite it being quite wide, it can feel disconcertingly unstable which I have not come across before in a kayak and something we will have to get used too.”
“Dealing with Fatsticks has been an absolute pleasure! They have gone above and beyond to help me. We love our Kayaks! They are so impressive. They are strong stylish & sturdy & we would highly recommend as an inflatable kayak we can’t fault them! The price is competitive in comparison to similar kayaks that don’t look as good. Looking forward to having a long relationship with Fatsticks going forward - Thanks Dianne & Russell.”
“Great looking kayaks, quick to inflate, pretty stable on the water and track well. They pack away nicely into wheeled bags but are pretty heavy. Easier to transport than a rigid kakyk though. The instruction link is for paddleboards, be better if it linked to a kayak video. Delivery was very quick.”
