The Sevylor Pointer K1 Inflatable Kayak is ideal for lakes and slow moving rivers. It can handle a reasonable swell at sea and low level rapids. It is made of Sevytex, a heavy-duty nylon/PVC laminate material that will provide years of service.

The kayak has a tubular I-Beam construction that creates a rigid flat bottomed hull, that is very stable and combined with 2 skegs tracks very well and is surprisingly, extremely maneuverable.

Sevylor Pointer K1 Inflatable Kayak

Pros:

  • Flat bottom and 2 skegs, provide a very stable, yet highly maneuverable kayak. Even a complete novice will have theability to paddle safely and keep on track easily. Windage is kept to a minimum, so even in fairly high wind conditions maintaining your path is quite easy.
  • There are 3 inflation / deflation valves for quick and easy inflation and deflation.
  • There is a fair amount of room for carrying spare gear in the Sevylor Pointer K1 Kayak, such a tent for longer trips. A convenient cargo hatch located on the stern with a spray cover, provides easy access to any gear.
  • The Sevylor Pointer K1 Kayak has a large, adjustable, padded seat and back-rest for all day comfort.
  • Plenty of bungee deck rigging to allow spare gear or a spare paddle to be securely strapped to the external deck.
  • There are some nice touches, such as a water bottle holder and a spray skirt that will keep you reasonably dry.

Cons:

  • The cockpit of the Sevylor Pointer K1 Kayak is a little tight to get in and out of compared with other inflatables. So for people over about 5’10” and about 200lbs, they may find it a little bit difficult to get in and out.
  • There is also an issue with leg and foot room. Again for the bigger person, who has larger that average foot size may find it uncomfortable.
  • The spray deck of the Sevylor Pointer K1 Kayak will keep out some general spray, it is not very waterproof and will let in any heavy water spray or wash. Spraying with a good quality waterproofing agent will help considerably.

Summary:

The Sevylor Pointer K1 Inflatable Kayak is a good quality inflatable especially in calm conditions, such as lakes
and slow moving rivers. Depending on your ability, taking it on rapids may be a bit of a stretch, and expect to get
wet. However, getting wet I would have thought is not really high on peoples “Things I don’t want to do in this
boat” list.

So for the smaller person, and if storage area at home is a bit limited, then this is a good choice. It probably
won’t hold up to a hard-shell kayak, but at half the price or less and with the ability to carry it anywhere easily,
then this will be hard to beat.
