Are foldable kayaks any good? Are they feasible for fishing? I just want something portable that will fit in my truck bed but portable enough that I can take it with me on a short hike. I don't really like the idea of inflatable since you have to drag along more equipment.

I only used rigid and inflatable and inflatables and I can tell you rigids are clearly better on the water, but inflatables are ok for shorter distances. This guy went from Germany to Australia in a '40s era folding Klepper so there's gotta be some good to them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_Speck

Been eyeing the Orukayak for a couple years but could never bring myself to buy it.

From all reviews, they seem great especially if you’re looking to save space.

Idk how or if you could fix one of these things if the creases give out and split. That’s what’s really holding me back

It might. The Inlet is the only one that comes in a longer shape. The rest comes in a more squarish shape. When folded ofcourse.

A backpack is definitely a must. So depending on the model, you need to get a seperate backpack.

>>2377191
Obviously. Overal i am happy with it. I hit some nasty rocks with the kayak, and surely thought that would damage the hull, to be surprised and see they all resulted in only some scratches. The material is really something.

since I've made this thread I've slightly deviated from my original post. I couldn't find a foldable kayak that fit all my criteria so I'm doing some trade-offs. I don't think portable and good for fishing really intersect with any product on the market.

I'm not weighting the options for inflatable kayak vs raft. I'd much rather have something with better fishing capabilities. Thoughts?

You would have to be trying really hard to penetrate pressurized 3mm pvc with a fishhook. Snagging a seam just right might randomly do it. If you're worried about that, they do make some dropstitch boards/kayaks that have multiple discrete chambers for people worried about reliability while touring.

NRS makes a number of different fishing-oriented SUPs/kayaks/hybrid sit-on-top things that are more portable than most other options. But yeah... still not all THAT portable.

What about a Kaboat? They're pricey, but relatively easy to handle. I strongly recommend the high-pressure 12V pump, though; it's a bit of a pain to pump up by hand.

go to amazon
pick an inflatable stand-up paddleboard in a color that you like
avoid the ones with black deck padding if you live anywhere that gets hot.
they're really really good. the new dropstitch PVC materials are almost as rigid as hard plastics and much lighter.

a lot of them come with a kayak style seat that attaches to deck D-rings, but I'm fine paddling seated for an hour or two without.

Those look tantalizing; any comparisons to inflatable kayaks? Paddleboards look to be about half the cost, and probably just as effective for calmer waters. Are the seats comfortable to use?

The intex style inflatable kayaks are pretty shit. The newer dropstitch material kayaks I don't have personal experience with, but they definitely won't pack down small enough to just throw in my trunk and leave there all summer- which I can and do do with my paddle board. It's super nice to be able to just get off work and hit up whatever lake I want without worrying about any logistics. Not sure about the seats as I am happy to go without - for an all-day adventure I think I would want one though.

How far are you talking?
I regularly carry a plastic creek boat 4+ hrs when I’m too poor for a heli. Never any formed track, at best just vaguely less dense bush.
Regularly fish in the sea out of a playboat, though I’m sure that’s not ideal unless you’re used to one.

I disagree, I had the K1 for a long time and was extremely careful with it and was fine. One day I overinflated it and some tiny hole appeared on the lining.
