inflatable kayak

Puffed-up paddle craft

An inflatable kayak is a lightweight, portable watercraft made of durable air-filled chambers rather than rigid material.

When deflated, it packs into a bag for easy transport and storage—appealing to paddlers without roof racks or garage space.

Modern versions rival hard-shell kayaks in performance, though they sacrifice some speed and tracking ability: We took the inflatable kayak on our camping trip.
