I wanted to drop you a note and let you know how happy I am with my Innova Junior kayak (note this model is no longer available). Amazingly enough, it still looks brand new, even after close to two years of use. I just came back from a trip to Crystal River, Florida, where I averaged about 10 miles of paddling each day, and my Junior continues to exceed all my expectations. It's quick, comfortable, tracks well, and is small manateeenough to expore all sorts of out-of-the-way inlets that would be inaccessible to most any other boat. As a bonus, the endangered manatee who are native to the area seemed perfectly at home around my kayak. (Hhmmmnn, maybe it's the familiar rounded shape?) For fun, I'm enclosing a photo of a junenile manatee who was clearly intrigued by my Junior. He followed me around for the longest time and would come right up to the side of my kayak for a visit. The green you can see in the photo is the side of my Junior, so you can see just how close he was! He seemed to consider me his new green friend.
Just a note to say thanks for a great web site, informed staff, and prompt delivery - I recently purchased an Aire Superlynx to use for solo and tandem ocean kayaking in the Pacific N W, as a dinghy for a C-Dory and for some moderate white water rivers. - I was able to make an informed decision about boats based on the information on your web site and with your staff. I am very pleased with the Superlynx - as a one two or three person boat.
When doing a short Solo ocean kayaking day trip I add 2.5 gallons of water just in front of the bow seat - for balance. That is easier than switching the seats, and I need the water anyway.
As a tandem - very stable - both persons can look over the side on the same side to gaze at sea life without compromising balance. This would be a great feature for young family with children wanting to explore shallow water creatures.
As a Tandem with Rotweiller [with life vest on] in the middle - even when he stands boat was stable. Hopefully he will learn to sit down.
As a Dinghy from C-Dory to shore - it holds three adults no problem. It is easy to enter from the C-Dory compared with my Hard-shell kayaks and two kayak straps fasten it neatly to the roof of the cabin. At first I was hesitant to purchase a self- draining boat for dinghy use - however the comments on your web site about the thickest floor of any inflatable help make the decision - for the most part with two people - not much problem getting wet - if I want a dry ride from the C-Dory to shore - unless of course its rough and then its a water sport and expect to get wet. The self draining aspect actually makes it a better boat if we ever have to use it for lifeboat.
Thanks again for a great web site, products and helpful staff
I've had the Super Lynx out a couple of times now. It's great. It paddles solo much easier than I expected. it paddles in a straight line even in windy conditions. I really appreciate your informative website and the personal attention Cindy and I got. My daughter is interested in a Super Lynx and we were considering lashing them together like you suggest for the Strike 2's. Do you have 'T' handles to fit the Cannon 2 pc. FGX Wave? Take a look at the photos. Thanks again, Paul Schreck, Littleton, CO (2 photos, at right and below)
The Superlynx is perfect! ..Emma and I paddled 25 miles on the Shenandoah, and she loved the shelf drops- her first class II's. As you can see we need rain- we are on the verge of drought while you guys are soaked. Best Lee, hope you dry out. Daniel Rogers, Alexandria, VA
We have now used the two inflatable kayaks several times on the Nantahala River and are well pleased with them. They both performed well and I could really tell no noticeable difference in the two on this river. We had a great time and that's what it's all about. I have attached a couple of pictures from the Nantahala. The Tomcat (top) contains my daughter (in back) and daughter-in-law. The Innova (middle pic with red kayak) contains my daughter and grandson. I'm in the purple Puma (below) with my granddaughter and grandson.
Thanks for all your help, Ted.
