Bought a solar kayak from Hike 48, previously Canoeboat, in spring 2022. Have used it for one season, primarily as an easy-to-transport craft in our cruiser. For a full-size two-person (or convertible to one-person) kayak, it folds up into a surprisingly compact dry-bag that fits in an under-bench locker on our cruiser. Pumps up by hand and ready to take out on the water in 10 minutes. We have had it out in fairly big water. It handles and tracks very well in big chop, although the front paddler does get wet. Very sturdy and stable.
With all materials being rubber, boat dries out very quickly in the sun and can be deflated and put away without much delay.
Regarding after purchase service, we did experience a failed valve in one of the footrests. Veronika drove to our home to deliver a new one, no charge.
Really happy with this purchase.
