Highlights

Two people, 220 kg, one carry bag

A tandem kayak you can keep in a cupboard and carry to the beach in one hand. Everything needed to paddle is in the box.

Rated to 220 kg

Two adults with room for a cool box, a dry bag and fishing kit, rather than two adults and nothing else.

Two paddles included

A pair of 230 cm aluminium paddles, an Air Hammer pump, two seats, two fins, a bag and a repair patch. Nothing else to buy.

Three separate air chambers

A puncture in one chamber does not sink the boat - the reason a multi-chamber inflatable is a genuinely different thing from a pool toy.

Paddle it solo

Move one seat to the centre and it handles as a roomy single, which a hard tandem kayak will not do.

Product description

About this product

Champion X2 Inflatable Kayak – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

Tandem kayaks are how most people actually get on the water – one person who is keen and one who is being persuaded, or a parent and a child. The problem is always the same: a hard tandem is four metres long, needs roof bars and two people to carry it. This one comes out of a bag.

It is 331 cm long and 88 cm wide with a closed cockpit, rated to 220 kg. That rating is worth noting because it is the difference between a boat that carries two adults and a boat that carries two adults plus a cool box, a dry bag and a rod. Two inflatable seats with backrests sit in the cockpit and can be moved along it, so you can trim the boat for the load – or move one to the middle and paddle it as a large single.

The hull is Bestway’s Inflata-Shield fabric over three separate air chambers with a fixed inflatable floor. Two removable fins clip underneath; without them a wide, flat-bottomed inflatable wanders with every stroke, and with them it holds a line well enough to cover real distance.

It suits Msasani Bay, the Mbezi creek, lagoons at Kigamboni and Bagamoyo, Zanzibar, Mafia and the lakes. It is a recreational boat for sheltered water. Wear buoyancy aids, watch for offshore wind, and stay inside the reef.

Questions

Good to know

Can one person paddle it alone?

Yes. Move a seat towards the middle so the boat sits level and it handles as a roomy single. That flexibility is one of the real advantages of an inflatable tandem.

How long does it take to inflate?

Ten minutes or so with the hand pump for both of you working together. Inflate it firm, not rock hard, and let air out if it is standing in full sun.

Will two adults and a cool box fit?

Within the 220 kg rating, yes - that is roughly two adults of average build plus 40 kg of gear. Keep the load low and centred rather than piled at one end.

Is it safe at Kigamboni or in Zanzibar?

In sheltered bays and lagoons, in calm conditions, with buoyancy aids. It is a recreational kayak, not a sea kayak. Stay inside the reef, avoid surf, and treat offshore wind as the main hazard - it pushes a light boat out faster than you can paddle back.

What happens if it gets punctured?

Three separate chambers mean one puncture does not sink it. A repair patch is in the box and the material patches permanently on clean, dry fabric.

Do I need the fins?

On open water yes - without them the boat wanders with every stroke. Take them off in very shallow water or over coral.

How do I look after it in salt water?

Rinse the whole boat with fresh water after every sea trip, including the valves and the underside, and let it dry completely before rolling it up. Salt left to dry in the seams is what ages an inflatable fastest on this coast.

Can I leave it inflated in the sun?

Not for long. Equatorial sun both degrades the material over time and raises the internal pressure, which stresses the seams. Let some air out if it is sitting in full sun, and store it deflated, dry and out of direct light.
