Conclusion
Easy to transport, durable and functional in a wide variety of waters, the Kalyma is a great family kayak. Aside from the traditional lakes and rivers, this kayak also handles fine in the ocean.Customers note that a motorized inflator is the best way to go with this kayak, since a manual inflator might not fill up the three air chambers sufficiently for optimal operation. With a motorized inflator, however, you can inflate the kayak in about 10 to 15 minutes. It makes a great travel kayak.
