Stinger 3 OTF-2751PK Inflatable One-Person Sport Kayak with Rotatable Paddle, 275-Pound Capacity

We bought these kayaks in 2016 and used them heavily for three seasons. Then they sat in our basement for two years. We took them out again today for a paddle around the lake. No leaks, no cracks, no problems. These things are indestructible.The User's Manual could use some intense help. The order of operations for inflation do not match the numbered valves on the kayak.Way too much verbiage - for instance talking about different types of valves without referencing a location or picture. A ruler is included with no direction on how or when to use it. There is a tool included with no idea what it might be for.For all of that, it was great fun. Inflation process took about 25 minutes the first time. We assume it will take less time as we gain experience. The kayak felt a little unstable at first, but we after a few paddles around the lake, was fine.

I thought this would be great for a 2nd Kayak. I unpacked and spent an hour or more trying to blow up the main section. My son tried and said..there must be a hold. The sides blow up very quickly. If there was a hole even before we put in the water how safe would this be. Returned and went out and bought a plastic one. this was a waste of time.

So this is my first kayak. I'm definitely not an expert. But what I have seen so far isn't bad. The paddle is decent, the kayak is compact and light when deflated, I do have 3 gripes. The seat, the pump, and a valve. It tales me about 15 min to inflate with the included pump, got a double action pump and now takes less than 5 minutes to set up. The seat has no support, I put some wood boards to stiffen it up and now works a treat. Lastley, there are 3 pump locations for the 3 different sections, 2 of which have an attachment to lock in and a button to deflate, wish it was used in all sections rather than just 2, But, for what it is, it's not bad for starting out.

I love this thing! I took it out today. Shipped in a giant box. It was easy to inflate and deflating is a bit tedious but it gets easier every time you do it. It tracked well on the Lake with low wake. I might change the paddle later to a bigger n sturdier one. I noticed theres not a lot of room in the Kayak. It's kinda tedious to reach back to my back. The kayak got unstable when i did. Maybe more practice it won't do that. I'll update when i go fishing next week to see how I feel about it.

I returned this kayak because 1) one of the chamber valves would not close after inflation and 2) the material used for the kayak did not seem as sturdy as I thought it should be 3) the pump included with the kayak is nearly worthless.

I really wanted to like this kayak but I was disappointed due to the fact that on the very first usage it had a leak in one of the three inflatable chambers (see attached photo and you can see the chamber that is under inflated due to air loss. Additionally, you need to carefully read the instructions regarding the inflation valves as that info is contained in two sections of the manual. The manual is not well thought out. The kayak comes with some goofy inflation ruler that is never properly explained as to how to use it. Also, they include a plastic wrench for the inflation valves and the wrench is not mentioned in the instruction as to what it is used for. I am returning this kayak for a refund. If it weren't for the leaking valve I would have kept it as it is a nice unit for the money.

Bought two of these for a recent two month trip west. Easy to carry in our fifth wheel trailer and easy to set up to use. Did have to buy a bigger hand pump to speed inflation, but the supplied foot pump does work. Used these on the Ottawa and Snake Rivers and Lake Powell...very maneuverable and stable, almost as good as our regular kayaks (which we left home because they are much too bulky to carry on a trailer and don't fit on the roof of a truck with the fifth wheel in tow.) Great knock about boats...seem likely to hold together for a good number of years.

I totally love this inflatable kayak. Was a little skeptical the first day but totally am satisfied with this product. Safe, durable, and stable. Have to be careful on windy days but that goes for all kayaks. It fit perfectly inside my suv, fully inflated!
