    Cool Pics of an AIRIS inflatable - set up, etc


    Ran across these from a couple years ago showing the new AIRIS inflatable my son got when he went off to college. Thought some of you might enjoy them...
    Carrying it around in it's backpack - weighs around 20 lbs. (he since got some nicer 4 pc paddles that fit IN the pack)


    Here it is unpacked


    I think there's 3 (or 4?) different compartments to inflate (I guess so if you do get a catastrophic tear - you're not completely in trouble. It's a high volume pump - very quick!


    The first nite on our neighbor's pond - he had a ball and caught several this sized and tied into about a 4 lber that I got on video


    He even got me in it (looking pretty coordinated ain't I?)


    I have a couple videos from an Iphone - but I'll have to try to convert to an MP3 or something - since I can't post it as a .MOV file
    Anyway - I hope ya'll enjoy the pics

    Much better than the hollowed out log for sure. Never seen one like this before.

    Well - not for everyone certainly - but I am impressed with the strength and quality and it should serve him well. For those that have to have ultimate portability - it's a good way to go..
    I have to cross a couple bridges and the 'prepper' in me says it wouldn't be bad to have such an item in the vehicle at all times....

    It is a pretty cool boat but it comes with a hefty price tag Amazon.com : Airis Sport Inflatable Kayak-Yellow/Grey : Sports & Outdoors. I could defiantly see having one of these for vacation trips where you don't have the storage for a full kayak. Thanks for sharing!

    My friend had a lot of trouble with any wind and his inflatable. That thing sets lower in the water, maybe it would do better.

    I know some guys that hunt in CO, near a lake. They would love something like that.

    Yeah - they aren't cheap. I about died when my son said he wanted to spend that kinda money - but I have to admit - it's a very quality kayak. Plus - he's said he's taken on some pretty rough water and while it's not fun fighting your way back in heavy chop - it's been very stable and he's taken some pretty heavy loads on it. Plus he's ran it down the Mississippi River for 20 mi or so too. No problem..
