North Ga Kayaking

Is an inflatable kayak as good as a regular kayak?

I’m considering buying a kayak, but I want to spend as little as possible. I’ll be kayaking in no more than class II rapids on the Chattahoochee River in North GA. It’s mostly just a calm, relaxing float down the river.

Would an inflatable kayak hold up as well as a regular kayak? Are they durable enough to be worth buying? What are the drawbacks to an inflatable?

Any information would be a great help!!

I had an inflatable kayak when I was younger, and I hated the thing! It was a pain in the a** to inflate and was really unstable. I don’t know how many times I fell out of that thing, and it’s not because I have bad balance. I never fell out of a regular or open-topped kayak in the 10 years since I first learned!

Seriously, save your money and purchase a good, durable non-inflatable kayak if you’re really interested.
