Pros and cons:

The Rave Sea Rebel inflatable kayak comes nicely bundled in the carry bag, so you know how to repack it when traveling.
The hand pump inflated it in about 5 minutes.It holds the air perfectly, the pump that is included works great.
The paddles were simple to connect but very sturdy. They are incredibly uncomfortable to use.
The Rave Sea Rebel inflatable kayak is not well-suited for ocean kayaking, but for a lake or lazy river, it’s perfect! There is a 200 lb. weight limit, so keep that in mind.
It tends to move a little more side to side vs straight ahead, so you have to try and recline a bit in the seat to keep the front skeg in the water to stabilize it more.
The storage in the seat back is not ideal as it is difficult to twist around to remove anything from the compartments while out on the water.

Conclusion

The Rave Sea Rebel Inflatable Kayak is priced around $160-$200 and most folks who have bought it think of it as not just a good kayak but a ‘great kayak’. If you are on a budget and want a solid buy, this inflatable kayak will NOT disappoint.
