Which One Must You Buy: Blow up Kayaks vs Hardshell Kayaks

By Jacob Coctner


Sadly, inflatables today have a unfair reputation and many of us believe they puncture easily and are nothing more than pool tools. In actual fact modern inflatable boats and canoes are extremely durable, safe and versatile. While inflatable watercraft during the past were made from rubber, which degraded and punctured simply, inflatables are now made of fine quality PVC, hypalon and other materials.

If you compare an average inflatable canoe with a traditional version you'll find it's better to maneuver, wonderfully light, practical, cheap and great for traveling. Many people enjoy inflatables because they quickly deflate and store in a closet or trunk, yet are inflated in seconds and ready to hit the water. There also are a variety of inflatable kayaks available, just like standard canoes. You will find fishing inflatables, expedition canoes and whitewater inflatables that can handle rough waters easily.

An inflatable canoe is also the best choice for journeys or camping because it stores easily in your auto trunk or camper. You will find it much more convenient than a huge hardshell canoe that requires dedicated care and transportation.

Naturally, the idea that inflatables are hazardous and puncture simply is also unfounded, as top quality air-filled boats and canoes today can handle sea waves and raging whitewater rivers. While occasional punctures do happen, they are easily corrected and actually rare. A variety of materials are used to make canoes today, with PVC being the most common and cost-effective. However , hypalon inflatables are also favored and offer even better durability and flexibleness. Hypalon inflatable watercraft are so sturdy and well made they are even employed by the US Coast Guard for their speed and ability to quickly cut thru ocean waves.

If you're endeavoring to decide between a traditional or an inflatable watercraft, remember the benefits an inflatable has to offer: affordability, flexibility, portability, sturdiness and more.
