Thousands of internal threads hold the two layers of fabric at a fixed distance, so the hull inflates rigid rather than soft, and this kayak uses a reinforced double layer at 10 cm thickness. At 390 cm, roughly 12.8 feet, it carries up to 200 kg and tracks well thanks to a U-shape lower chamber paired with a V-shape upper chamber. Paddle, seat, pump, fin, and a wheeled backpack all come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pdp-heading icon-star\"\u003eWhy Customers Choose This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul
