James m Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Wondering if anyone has any experience with these kayaks https://foldupkayaks.com/collections/kayaks/products/orange-folding-kayak . I'm thinking of trying one to get around different spots mainly in tidal rivers that are not accessible on foot. Not planning on actually fishing from it so more interested in any potential feedback regarding durability, ease of setting them up/breaking them down, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppet Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I personally would not trust these one off kayak designs or brands. Better off getting a used canoe, kayak, or sup in a model that is fishing friendly as a bonus. I feel with patience that is achievable. If it is a storage size thing, there are brands like klepper and pakboat that have been around for a while, but I dont have personal experience with them. Good luck.

Broski Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 The seems have ripped on mine and the co was quick to send a replacement. As long as your not over the weight limit its kool. Not very fast. 40 lbs in a duffle bag in the back seat of a sedan. Does the job for sure. I did get rolled ancored up near big wake, all my fault. The foam parts stops it from sinking. Next time ill bring a pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broski Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I live in an apartment so its size was the biggest selling point. Elevator is small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbjpb Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I think oru may be a better brand of folding kayaks. I have seen them but I don’t own one. James m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
