- The 6 Best Inflatable Kayaks of 2024 | Tested - GearLab
Shorter boats and those that lead through the water with horizontally flat bottoms (which include most of the inflatable kayaks we tested) waggle back and forth with every paddle stroke The rather short Tucktec combats this with moderate effectiveness by having both a pointed prow and an adjustable skeg hanging off the stern
- The 6 Best Inflatable SUP Boards of 2024 | Tested - GearLab
The lightest boards in our lineup are the ROC Inflatable SUP, FunWater 11, and Badfish Flyweight, weighing just 17 to 19 pounds The Isle Switch and the Bote Breeze Aero follow closely behind Lighter boards are both easier to haul while inflated and also easier to roll up and transport from place to place
- Sea Eagle 370 Pro Review | Tested Rated - GearLab
The 370 Pro is 12 5 feet long, long enough to help you track better as you paddle Especially with two people paddling, this boat tracks reasonably well and glides through the water with ease Up against a stiff wind or tall waves, however, progress in this tall boat is rather hampered
- Aquaglide Deschutes 110 Review | Tested Rated - GearLab

- Aquaglide Navarro 110 Review | Tested Rated - GearLab
The Aquaglide Navarro 110 is a good all-around boat that's enjoyable to paddle and simple to use It's wider than many, helping it be stable but not so wide as to get in the way of paddling Riding on top of the water, this boat needs the help of its tracking fin and some creative paddling to steer straight A drainage hole and easily removable
