Sort of related as I wanted to take one of these off camping.

Has any one had experience of the inflatable kayak's? I was looking at the 2+a child ones and was wondering if they actually work!

Hi.

This is a picture of us in our Pathfinder

Would a 2+1 take my weight (14st) wife (9st) daughter (1.5st) or can some one show me an approiate kayak that would suit our needs? I have heard that some of the 2+1's are not that good and would not take 2 adults and a child as the boat isnt ridgid enough

i am looking at getting a cheap and cheerful Kayak for our upcoming trip to FForest fields, anyone have knowledge of These.
it will mainly be used by my daughter and friend on a lake.

I have the Tahiti which is the next model up (lime green coloured one) which is basically the same kayak as the one you are looking at, only difference really are the seats. I have found it to be an extremely well made kayak which carries 2 adults with ease and is very stable so more than suitable for children, my 6yr son and 8yr daughter go on the lake in it on there own, "life jackets on of course". with no problems.

In hind sight I think the model you are looking at would have done rather than the more expensive one I eventually purchased, (pressure from the kids they liked the lime green colour)

My only advise would be shop about as there are some good deals out there, I saved about £40 by doing this. Also bear in mind the Riviera comes with a paddle where as the Tahiti doesn't.
