There have been assorted normal-function kayaks written for easy H2O operation. The poke commenced however no physique was ever. Awesome.

I have one final question on the topic in which you have a lot more experience. Is there a usual price oscillation from this moment to the next summer? Having in mind that there is a slim chance they will deliver my boat in time to do any serious paddling this fall though you never know how the weather will be like, I have some nice thick neoprene that I used for sailing , I was wondering would it be better if I wait until the winter before I order, or does the price remain more or less the same throughout the year?

For used boats I am sure this is the case i. Maybe the whole supply chain got disrupted. Firstly, I must say that this is the most serious and comprehensive article on this subject I have found so far, and thank you for your knowledge you have shared here. I would love if you could advise me on two models of full DS IK I am considering whether to buy at this moment.

My question basically is � is the HP3 so much better to justify the around EUR price difference, or if you put it the other way � is the Tomahawk so much lower in quality to justify this difference?

Thank you for your help, this is the only way for me to make a decent judgement, having in mind that I will not be able to see ether model live, before I order it. Glad the article was useful. The euro question may be partly explained by BIC being a long-established French brand with boats made in Vietnam, not China.

This may not be accurate but I read this extra 5kg with the Tomahawk adds up to a pretty bulky boat to transport and so may be one that uses cheaper, bulkier materials.

Not being able to see let alone try an expensive IK is always a problem. This is specially the case because I also read the article you were referring to, about the guy who bought the boat directly from China, and was pretty satisfied with it. When I saw how cheap it was for him below EUR if I remember correctly , I thought to myself � why would I pay a ton of cash just for some brand name if there is no big difference in quality?

I am not into that, and would be perfectly happy with a total no name boat, if the quality is good. The interesting thing is that I found the Tomahawk on the DS Kajaks web page, so I guess they are related in some way? Of course, I was searching for DS boats on the page, however, all the DS boats that are interesting to me are out of stock.

And for the end, one question that may be stupid, or may drive you to thinking not sure if anyone tried this, or if it is doable. From the pictures I saw, they usually seal the space between side panels and floor partially, i. In this way, I think you would get a boat that is much easier to clean and dry even without completely removable floor.

I too would be happy to take a chance to try an unbranded and no-warranty FDS IK if the price was right. You can read a Tomahawk review here. I have only seen this name is the last year or so. Maybe with occasional summertime use and good care it does not matter so much. So to separate it would be quite a task. You would pass out from the solvent fumes before the job was finished ;- I think with an FDS, a removable floor combined with the inflatable keel idea is well worth it.

Maybe these ideas will percolate down in years to come. But the issue is only really drying and cleaning. Do that well enough especially before long-term storage and a fixed floor FDS is not really such a big problem. The choice Homemade Wooden Boats For Sale 2020 was partly driven by availability � the Tomahawk was still on sale where others had sold out, perhaps because it was specifically listed as an intermediate to advanced kayak, while beginners are driving the shortage.

Some work is required for set-up � the pump is effective but needs some oomps towards the end when apporaching 10PSI � I may invest in an electric at some point. The Seat and footrest are effective, a little strap threading is needed for the latter nothing terrible. Total setup time is about 20 mins, though that may reduce as I get more familiar with the kayak. The addition of an entry-level carbon fiber paddle provides a lot of range before fatigue sets in though I still need to improve my stamina!

It is probably not suitable for beginners whose balance is questionable though. Re-entry was a little tricky put perfectly doable. Packing up is reasonably quick � note that I do it with minimal drying on site, then re-inflate it fully once home to give it a proper wipe-down and time to dry. Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful review, Andrew.

If you can send or point to a couple of photos, I can make it a more visible post here from which many more will benefit. Much depends on if the sides flare outwards too, meaning the actual floor is narrower still. I know well there is nothing worse than feeling insecure in a kayak! He also mentioned transportation bulk a recurring feature with FDS. I noticed the skeg was also very stiff on the new Moki II we rented recently. You are quite light which I think can exacerbate tippiness as the boat bobs higher.

What you describe sounds like poor primary upright, stationary but good secondary leaning over stability � you can hold it there with a brace paddle stroke: a characteristic of a proper hardshell sea kayak. A typical all-tube IK has such brilliant raft-like primary stability that you never get to discover secondary.

Or, fit thigh straps: much better control. I bet your average hardshell sea kayak would be unusable if you could not brace knees under the deck. Also, I would be interested to know if it really needs theat frontal skeg to track well. Twin or even triple skeg become a thing on some DS IKs � a bit like razor bladers. I bet it would turn better with just the back skeg. At sea you may want both skegs as the sides look quite high to the wind.

Stick your Bestway on eBay quick � you may get more than you paid for it! Thank you! I was actually thinking the same thing with regards to the double skegs, so last time out I removed the front one.

Turning was a little easier, but the tracking was noticably less effective though still far better than the budget IK. It would work fine without through � more a case of personal preference either way I think. In crosswinds the high sides catch the air, and stability is noticably lower in a gust�. Looking forward to some pics.

With the front skeg, you might try chopping it down a bit to find a happy medium. It may be a generic Chinese skeg so you can buy spares on eBay. Hi � I enjoyed reading this article because it is actually quite difficult to find a detailed discussion about the still-new dropstitch construction method.

Around ten years ago, I acquired a couple of Walker Bay Airis dropstitch inflatables which, at the time, were at the forefront of the Homemade Wooden Boats For Sale Johor then brand new idea of dropstitch construction. Both boats have been brilliant but one of them has become porous and is no longer reliable for more than a few hours and so, a couple of months ago, I started to look around the market.

The first thing I discovered is that covid19 has created a world shortage of all sorts of recreational equipment and that prices have risen accordingly. Right now, a decent dropstitch boat, if you can find one, is stupidly expensive. I eventually found and bought a Bic Yakkair HP1 which, so far, I have used only once because I am waiting for delivery of a new paddle which will allow me to switch between kayak paddle mode, canoe paddle mode and SUP mode.

I think that dropstitch construction has blurred the distinction between canoes, kayaks, sit-on-tops and boards. My new Bic Yakkair HP1 looks brilliant when it is inflated and it seems to handle very nicely indeed on the water but, despite being much the same inflated size as my Walker Bay Airis boats, it is much heavier and much bulkier when deflated.

Dropstitch construction is now offering boats of around 16 feet in length but, even when packed down, they are huge and very heavy. If the idea is to take one away on holiday with you, then you might be better with a hardshell on the roof rack instead of a 16 foot dropstitch taking up all the luggage space in the back of the car. I would just like to buy something I have heard of, or something DS mentioned here.

Decathlon are listing BIC but no stock. The ones on EBAY i have never heard of. Any suggestions? Otherwise, ask about a guarantee and get something with a day return so if it looks terrible and goes flat overnight you can send it back. Thanks for the excellent report, we have just bought one of the new versions of KXone Slider Flex and have already had some fun trips around the Scottish coast.

We did get quite a bit of water in on a particularly rainy and wavy day and are looking at getting a spray deck to prevent spray and waves getting in. How do they work for attaching along the sides of the boat and are they still susceptible to waves getting in the sides? Do you think they are worth their weight or are we better to just bail out when necessary? Hi Stuart, congrats on your new boat.

Is the any different, or just graphics? It looks like there are tabs along the sides. Possibly glue-on velcro?

Also, there do not seem to be any supports visible to keep the deck convex so water rolls off. Maybe knees will do? Much depends on the cost and effectiveness.

A bilge pump will be a handy accessory, either way. Hi there, firstly, thanks for providing such a comprehensive guide to the full DS inflatable kayak world. I am interested in the DS technology, however I intend to spend perhaps up to half of my time using the kayak over the course of the year sea-kayaking. Given this, would you suggest, I would be better avoiding the full drop-stitch variety, in favour of either a kayak with a DS floor, or a fully inflatable non-DS one?

I really like the look of the ArrowStream too, it looks like great value for money. Have you also come across any reviews of the Bluewave Glider?
