FAQs
What is included in the FatStick Boards inflatable kayak package?
The complete package includes the inflatable drop stitch kayak, a double-action pump for quick inflation, adjustable paddles sized for one or two paddlers, removable seats and a carry bag for transport. Everything required to start paddling is provided in one convenient bundle, with no additional purchases needed.
How long does it take to inflate and set up this kayak?
With the included double-action pump, inflation typically takes 5-10 minutes depending on kayak size. The removable seats attach quickly, allowing you to be on the water within 15 minutes of arriving at your launch site. Deflation and packing away is similarly straightforward for convenient transport home.
Can this inflatable kayak be used on the sea as well as lakes?
This kayak is designed primarily for calm lakes, gentle rivers and sheltered coastal waters rather than exposed open sea conditions. UK inland waterways and calm estuaries are ideal locations. Avoid using in rough seas, strong tidal streams or exposed coastal areas with significant wave action.
What is drop stitch construction and how does it compare to standard inflatables?
Drop stitch uses thousands of internal fibres connecting the top and bottom surfaces, creating a rigid, flat platform when inflated. This delivers significantly better performance and stability than basic tube-style inflatables, with handling characteristics closer to hard-shell kayaks while maintaining the portability of an inflatable paddleboard.
What maintenance does this inflatable kayak require after use?
After each outing, rinse the kayak with fresh water to remove dirt, sand or salt, then dry thoroughly before storing. Check valves periodically and store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving the kayak inflated for extended periods when not in use to preserve material integrity.
