Drain Valve - Kombinaci odtokových ventilů, které v případě otevření zajistí rychlý odvod vody ven z kajaku. Absolutely. When they first appeared, the materials and technology were still being developed, and a lot of them had problems with leaks. But the technology has moved on rapidly, and top-end inflatables can almost challenge rigid kayaks for performance. Plus, they have some significant advantages over rigid styles, such as easy transport and storage and lighter weight. Can one person use a two-person kayak? There are a number of features that help the Steam 412 stand out from other tandem inflatable kayaks. Firstly the detachable drop-stitch floor enables you to dry out the boat so much easier after use than most inflatable kayaks. We haven’t seen this feature on many of the inflatables we’ve tested, and it isn’t until you’ve paddled a few strokes that this feature shows its worth. Features All kayaks fall into one of two categories: “Sit On Top” or “Sit In” referring to where the paddler is positioned in or on the kayak. Most inflatable kayaks fall into the “Sit In” category. The tubes create a higher gunwale and the paddler sits on the floor or on a seat between the tubes. Because the Steam’s side tubes are quite small at just 8.5” in diameter, the Steam takes on more of the feeling of a sit on top kayak. The 35” overall width provides lots of primary stability for the Steam while it is resting flat on its bottom. However, the smaller tubes and sit-on-top positioning mean that there isn’t as much leeway for leaning the Steam over onto its side.

Surely if you like water sports, by this time of the year you have already imagined yourself with your friends kayaking through the waters of Canada, full of energy practicing your favorite sport while the sun shines on the rivers and seas and everything is idyllic around you.

If the Steam 412 begins to lose air, tighten the three valves ever so slightly to ensure this is not where the air is escaping before you look for a puncture. When we first tested the Razor Kayak R2, one of the valves was loose. So it’s good to be aware of this, especially before the first use. It is natural for the air pressure to change or for a small amount of air to escape over time if you leave your kayak inflated. But your kayak shouldn’t lose air within a 12-hour period, especially if it’s not being used. Drop-stitch technology is what makes the Steam's floor absurdly stiff. If you could see inside the floor tube, you'd find an uncountable number of nylon threads spanning the top and Botton surfaces, which ensures the kayak maintains it's optimal shape while you compress pounds of highly-pressured air into the floor. The result is an inflatable kayak that feels as stiff as solid oak!The Aqua Marina Steam is available in two different sizes – a 10’3” long solo kayak and a 13’6” long tandem kayak. The solo version is rated for up to 250 lbs. The tandem unfortunately doesn’t double that capacity, but rather has a rating of 400 lbs maximum carrying capacity.
