I know this thread is a little older butt i was wondering if anyone had any additional recommendations for inflatable kayaks. I'd like to purchase 2 to take along camping. ..probably a small cheap one for my 8yo daughter and a moderate priced one for me. Woyld it be harder to tow her in an inflatable? Im new to kayaking so have very limited experience but have found the tandems we rented very cumbersome and my experienced friends say it would be far better to let her paddle a smaller kayak and just tow her with a rope when she gets tired. We have a coachmen 21qb class c so we could probably figure a way to bring hard shelled kayaks buy i like the idea of a lightweight and smaller portable one. We only do calm waters and short trips.
