Innova Sunny Inflatable Kayak

2008-07-04T08:13-04:00

A stable craft for flat water fun, the Innova Sunny Inflatable Kayak is ideal for exploring lakes and lazy river channels. Although it folds down to a compact size equivalent to a bag that meets airline carry-on restrictions, when inflated it holds up to 2 people with room to spare for a child, a dog, or some camping equipment. The exterior Nitrylon material is incredibly durable, and is much more abrasion resistant than PVC. The interior of the Innova Sunny Inflatable Kayak now features a Lite-Pack material instead of Nitrylon. By using this lighter material on the interior, where abrasion resistance is not as important, the boat folds up into a more compact unit and is 12&#37 lighter than the previous model. The Lite-Pack material is more comfortable for bare skin to sit on too. The open cockpit Innova Sunny Kayak also received a seating upgrade. Straps now connect the seat back with D-rings attached to the side tubes for better support during extended paddles. For solo exploration the Sunny kayak converts into a balanced single craft. Because the kayak is double-ended, the forward seat turns around and the tracking fin is then moved to the opposite end, allowing the solo paddler to sit in the middle of the boat. *Materials: Low stretch polyester and heavy duty rubber coated 1,200 denier Nitrylon exterior, Lite-Pack interior to reduce weight and packed size. Polyester face feels comfortable against bare skin *Maximum capacity: 2. Can be paddled as a single or double with enough space for a kid or dog *Weight capacity: 396 lbs. *3 main air chambers *Each seat offers excellent back support with D-ring attachments at the side tubes *Equipped with a removable tracking fin *Class I river rating is best suited for flat water river and lake paddling *Handy carry handles on the bow and stern *Drybag backpack included for storage and transport. Backpack straps are padded and adjustable *Length and width: 12 ft. 8 in. x 2 ft. 7 in. *Packed dimensions: 21 x 15 x 9 in. *Weight: 29 lbs.

Helios II Inflatable Kayak

2008-06-13T08:12-04:00

Solving the logistical problems of traveling with a boat, the Innova Helios II Inflatable Kayak allows you to pack your boat into a carry-on size bag for trips to amazing paddling locations from Chile to the Bowron Lakes. Whether you don't have the storage space in your home, don't like dealing with roof racks, or have your mind set on a far off paddling destination, a folding inflatable kayak is an option worthy of serious consideration. This latest version of the Helios II (formerly the Helios 380EX) includes some exciting upgrades. The old version used Nitrylon throughout. Although this super tough material stands up to the unavoidable wear and tear on the boat's underbelly, it was a bit too heavy for the interior. Innova kept the Nitrylon on the exterior, but they replaced it with Lite-Pack on the interior and decks, thus reducing the boat's overall weight by 10%. And for those days when long stretches in the boat are necessary, a full back support in the front cockpit has been added to improve comfort. Perfectly suited for flatwater river and lake paddling, many find the Innova Helios II Inflatable Kayak practical for open water travel when used with a foot operated rudder accessory (sold separately). For a single seat version be sure to check out the Innova Helios I Inflatable Kayak.
