 Just ok, needs keel in backMay 20, 2010
By E. pacheco
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3O8KQTR99QB4O Just bought a K2 at a local Ocean State Job Lot store and took it to the water on the same day. I've never kayaked before, but I just knew that any water vessel is not supposed to spin around the way this does. After reading some reviews online, I found that a lot of other people had a problem with the traking of this kayak because the only two keels on it are tiny and in the center of it. So I figured I could make my own out of some soft wood (balsa if anyone wants to know). Took me about an hour to make it with a hand saw and a screwdriver, and I'll find out this afternoon how good or bad my custom made keel is.
Update: the wooden keel I made works wonders! Even though it was very windy and the water was very choppy at the lake I went to, the kayak always kept straight. The easy fix makes this kayak really worth the money.
Changed from 3 to 4 stars.

 Don't order anything fro INTEX...VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICEApr 12, 2010
By Chere L. Mccain
This item arrived with a broken oar. I immediately called INTEX to ask for a replacement and was told that they don't replace parts that arrive broken. It was obvious that the oar was packed broken as the box was very well packed, the kayak was nicely rolled and very tight in the box with the oars in the middle of the tightly packed items so there was no way the oar was broken during shipping. They want me to return the entire item to amazon (mind you, this item weighs nearly 40 lbs. so the cost of shipping won't be cheap) Not to mention that this was a birthday present for my son so I hate to send the item back and wait for a whole new box when all the company would have to do is send me a replacement oar. After discussing this for 15 minutes with the tech rep at INTEX, I was told he would have a manager call me the next day....I knew at the time that no manager would be returning my call and I was correct. This item is ok and my son loves it but I won't order anything else from INTEX. I'm still undecided as to what I am going to do. I don't want to have to purchase replacement oars on a brand new item that arrived defective but I was told from INTEX that this was all they would do for me. So order at your own risk.

Great value in an inflatable.Apr 18, 2008
By Tony Francis Perrone
"Z_OH_6"
Perfect for an impromptu kayak getaway. It takes all of 10-12 minutes to fully inflate with the pump included in this kit. When we have company and want to take our canoe out, this is an ideal addition for two visitors to share in the adventure. The package includes the 2 place kayak, seats, soft-grip paddles, cargo netting, air pump, carry case and patch kit. The Intex Challenger K2 is a quality product, don't think you're getting cheap junk, you're not. CMS Worldwide Sales does a great job in getting you the boat fast and on time.

Don't buy this....Jul 31, 2008
By Lorie Schinko
Well,My partner and I bought this item back in march of this year.On the plus side,it is easy to inflate,and deflate.Boston valves on it help immensely.The tote bag is great,and it has an air pump that works very well.
As to steering it,the item has little efficacy as to what you would want in a kayak.It is very difficult to steer, and was very irritating to try to keep a straight line in paddling.
I do not recommend this if you want something like a canoe to handle though shorelines,while on a camping holiday.It does not work well.You will be dissappointed.

Challenger K2 for Ponds OnlyApr 11, 2010
By Aunty Mo
"Aunty Mo"
My package received was exactly as described with everything included. I thought what a bargain! BUT, then we took it out to the harbor. It looks good & floats great! Unfortunately that is about it. There is very little tracking or directional control. You just kinda end up going round & round in circles or floating away with the wind. My husband later pointed out that the skegs (bottom fins) are in the middle. In the middle? Any surfer knows skegs belong towards the rear. We thought about it, maybe we can saw off the skegs & buy new ones to attach towards the rear. It has to be some kind of mistake, I have never seen skegs in the middle of any kind of flotation device before. Very unfortunate because otherwise the boat itself is well made, looks good & would work much better with proper skeg placement. This would be okay if you just wanted to float around in a pond, you don't want to take it out any further than that, you would quickly get frustrated. I guess now I'll be testing Amazon's return policy.....Refund processing was great, good job Amazon! Took one week from UPS drop-off to refund.
