Intex Challenger K1 Inflatable Kayak
Kayaking is making real strides in popularity across the world, but particularly in the USA. This rise in popularity can be attributed to a number of factors, not just fact that kayaking is awesome.

Firstly, with all the press around the environment and how some ecosystems days seem to be numbered, so getting out in the open and experiencing things before too late has to be up there.
Secondly, and perhaps what will begin to take shape in to the bulk of this review, is how extremely good value kayaks have become in recent years, largely thanks to revolutionary new construction methods and diversification of materials.
The Intex Challenger K1 Kayak really epitomizes the latter of those two points. Designed to be cheap, effective and accessible to all, the Challenger K1 aims to fill that kayak shaped void in your life and get you out on open water, albeit relatively slow moving water, but we’ll talk about that later.
As an introduction, all you need to know is that the Challenger K1 is setting the bar for inflatable kayaks, and lowering the price.
Available at the time of press for just over a hundred bucks, you don’t have to spend months saving up your hard earned wages just to dip your included oars in the water. Read on to find out just what makes this kayak such a bargain!
