I live by a river and I decided that it's finally time to dip my toes into the water without dipping my toes into the literal water.
I see three kayaks that look appealing to me:
- Oru Lake. Relatively expensive, made of shitty coroplast (once it's scratched the water can get into the inner canals), but the company seems to honor their warranty without bickering about it + there are enough reviews to conclude that the product&company are OK;
- Tucktec. The cheapest one _for americans_. It would be a no-brainer choice for me if not the shipping costs. Seems to be made of the most durable plastic + its folding scheme makes it the least likely to leak + the most colorful choice + stable + enough reviews as well.
- Onak Bato. 600 EUR for the kayak, 850 EUR for kayak + paddle + backrest + vest. Despite being designed by belgs it seems to be quite good, being the lightest one, the most convenient one to carry, and the material is some honeycomb plastic which doesn't have internal canals, but has some air to keep it bouyant even if it capsises. But there are almost no reviews, the hull design looks like it should cause lots of drag, and the available promo videos only show a few seconds of paddling making it unclear if it even can go in a straight line.
Which one sounds like the best choice to you, kayaking chads?
