INFLATABLE KAYAKS
We have 2 x 2 man kayaks (Colorado) and 1 x 1 man kayak (Rio). Each is supplied with a personal
floatation device and paddle, and a hand pump is provided for inflation.
Setup
•
Unpack from storage bag
•
There are 3 main inflation zones – one for each side, and the floor. An additional inflation zone
is under each seat.
•
Inflate the floor first, then the sides, then the seat(s)
•
The seat attaches to the floor with Velcro, and then a forward and aft webbing strap on each
side.
•
Make sure the bung is in before using, but open it to drain any water after use.
Packing away
The kayak should be dry and clean before packing away
•
Fold seat flat by loosening webbing straps and Velcro strips. The seat will sit flat if you rotate it
90degrees once straps are undone
•
Deflate all inflation zones, leaving the inflators open
•
Pull the sides into the centre of the kayak
•
Using the skegs on the bottom of the kayak as a guide;
o
Fold the nose of the kayak
o
Then fold in half
o
Finally fold over again
•
You can then wrestle the kayak back into its bag.
If the kayak is wet please let us know so that we can properly dry it. A cleaning charge may apply if
the kayak is very wet or dirty.
