Outdoor Tuff Stinger 3 OTF-2751PK Inflatable One-Person Sport Kayak with Rotatable Paddle, 275-Pound Capacity

Bought two of these for a recent two month trip west. Easy to carry in our fifth wheel trailer and easy to set up to use. Did have to buy a bigger hand pump to speed inflation, but the supplied foot pump does work. Used these on the Ottawa and Snake Rivers and Lake Powell...very maneuverable and stable, almost as good as our regular kayaks (which we left home because they are much too bulky to carry on a trailer and don't fit on the roof of a truck with the fifth wheel in tow.) Great knock about boats...seem likely to hold together for a good number of years.

This is the perfect kayak for those who don't want to deal with lugging a heavy kayak around. It inflates wonderfully easy and floats nicely on the water. It folds and fits nicely into the backpack that comes with it. The paddles are fine, not great but good enough. The price is great. The drawbacks: 1. the foot rest is way too short for me (I'm 5'10"). I just keep it out and let my legs extend into the covered front section. 2. If it's a windy day, prepare to row hard to keep yourself from circling in the wind. 3. The inflatable back rest doesn't provide full support, but it does allow you to recline comfortably.

I thought this would be great for a 2nd Kayak. I unpacked and spent an hour or more trying to blow up the main section. My son tried and said..there must be a hold. The sides blow up very quickly. If there was a hole even before we put in the water how safe would this be. Returned and went out and bought a plastic one. this was a waste of time.

The instructions are worthless & I am having a difficult time getting it inflated. Used it once. Does anyone have any suggestions? There is also a tool to tighten the valve. I'm not sure what is for

there is good value here, I still use the back pack and the paddle. I was disappointed with how small the side tubes are and how odd the nose and tail construction is under the canvas cover. this would be great for kids on a lake, not a river runner. I am huge and would just sink this, so I let kids and small adults use it. if your looking to run even a class one river (flat) I would say you would want something a little bit more, if its for the kids to play at the lake then a good buy.

I love this thing! I took it out today. Shipped in a giant box. It was easy to inflate and deflating is a bit tedious but it gets easier every time you do it. It tracked well on the Lake with low wake. I might change the paddle later to a bigger n sturdier one. I noticed theres not a lot of room in the Kayak. It's kinda tedious to reach back to my back. The kayak got unstable when i did. Maybe more practice it won't do that. I'll update when i go fishing next week to see how I feel about it.

We bought these kayaks in 2016 and used them heavily for three seasons. Then they sat in our basement for two years. We took them out again today for a paddle around the lake. No leaks, no cracks, no problems. These things are indestructible. The User's Manual could use some intense help. The order of operations for inflation do not match the numbered valves on the kayak. Way too much verbiage - for instance talking about different types of valves without referencing a location or picture. A ruler is included with no direction on how or when to use it. There is a tool included with no idea what it might be for. For all of that, it was great fun. Inflation process took about 25 minutes the first time. We assume it will take less time as we gain experience. The kayak felt a little unstable at first, but we after a few paddles around the lake, was fine.

I am just getting into white water kayaking and didn't want to spend 700+ on a new hobby I don't know if I am going to stick with. For 200 (including insurance) I got into this kayak with little expectation. I figured worse comes to worst, if it fails, I can get my money back with insurance. That said, I just got into some solid class 2 water and got ripped over some rocks and had NO issues whatsoever. I did buy some patches incase I tore the kayak up mid trip but the kayak itself is actually quite strong. I highly recommend this kayak if you are wanting something low commitment as it does deliver in fun.
