What’s in this video

The Intex Challenger K1 is a one person inflatable kayak that can go almost anywhere, and it was about $69 at the time. I unbox it and go through the components: the kayak body, removable adjustable seat and foot rest, removable skeg, a large manual pump, a patch kit, a breakdown paddle and a storage travel bag.

Listed specs are 108 inches long, 30 inches wide, 27.2 lbs and a 220 lb max capacity. I think it’s a great buy for motorcycle trips, flying somewhere remote, road trips or apartment storage.
