FAQ-KAYAK
How does the performance of an inflatable kayak compare to a traditional hard-shell kayak?
Inflatable kayaks can offer comparable performance to hard-shell kayaks in terms of speed, maneuverability, and tracking. However, they may have slightly different handling characteristics due to their flexible structure. In general, inflatable kayaks are well-suited for recreational paddling, touring, and exploring calm waters.
How can I find out the Hull Identification Number (HIN) of my inflatable kayak?
Every Beyond Marina Inflatable Kayak has a unique HIN. For further assistance, please send an email to the Beyond Marina Customer Support Team.
What is the difference between your PVC Tarpaulin Kayak and Drop Stitch Kayak?
The main difference lies in their construction and resulting features. The PVC Tarpaulin Kayak (e.g., ADVENTURER) features a drop stitch chamber solely in the bottom portion, making it lighter in weight and more cost-efficient. On the other hand, the Drop Stitch Kayak (e.g., EXPLORER) utilizes drop stitch chambers for both the sides and the bottom, offering enhanced strength, durability, and higher weight capacity.
Can I use these inflatable kayaks in different types of water conditions?
Yes, all BEYOND MARINA kayaks are versatile and suitable for a variety of water conditions, including calm lakes, rivers and coastal waters. However, it's important to always consider the specific kayak's design and stability for the intended use.
What should I do if my kayak is leaking air?
If you notice a small pinhole or puncture causing an air leak in your kayak, you can try using the repair kit that came with your kayak. This kit is designed to repair small leaks or punctures. It's important to note that if the leak or puncture is in a seam, it cannot be repaired. The kayak will need to be replaced. Contact our customer support and they will assist you with the replacement process.
