I want to thank you guys for making a product that is usable for people without cars that still is safe to use all year round! The price is a bit steep but I look forward to buying one of them!
Built something similar 4 years ago. Only using 3 section's from fibre glass. My son keeps it in a cupboard in the house. Looks like a good product you have developed
Referring to 10:26 in the video. Please note for the 142, the strap for folding the bag is shorter. You must use the webbing loops on the side of the bag. I am 5'4". I have no issues with connecting the clamps. Nice kayak. I love it!
Just received mine!!!! Amazing product. One word of caution: It's HEAVY. They make it look like it's very manageable and easy to lift. It's not. At 55 lbs it doesn't seem so bad, but it's a lot of mass. Otherwise, I'm totally stoked about this thing, can't wait to be in the water!!! p.s. needs a detachable fin/skeg
Damned innovative design. Simple as hell. Given how inflatable kayaks are going for ridiculous sums of over $500 I don’t consider the price point on this too bad by comparison. Still would like it in the low $1ks, however
Still amazing overall, very worth it imo but I'm likely into rivers and waterways in general arguably too much lmao... Especially putting it back in the bag is surprisingly Incredibly Simple, just put it back in order of smallest to largest. Whoever designed this was very smart
I like the explanation of the video, well done and nicely put together. The problem i have with this kayak is the amount of labor involved is the reason why i went with other products. It seems the system is too much of a labor point when throwing a simple normal kayak on the roof would seem almoat better even with thw added hassles of extra equipment and storage needed.
putting a kayak on the roof takes a longer time then assemnling this, not to mention it takes lots of space in the garage and its heavier and need 2 people to carry. This thing fits into the back of a civic inside a bag.
can you do a video on where you store your dry back, water and other necessities. I am a short woman with a compact SUV where is it is impossible for me to load a kayak and my Buick SUV is not compatible with most assist lifts or a trailer. So this sounds like it might be an option. One last question... since I have short arms, will I be able to even reach the top section clips... What is the distance from the opening to the clips?
Thanks for your interest! Although we don't have a video on where you can stash things, most items fit in the fore or aft watertight hatches or they can be lashed to the top of the kayak under the bungees. If you can't reach the latches as a tower, you can latch 1 to 2 and 6 to 5 before you stack them onto 3 and 4. Or, you can lay them on the ground and latch them. The distance from hatch opening to clamps is only a few inches.
@@PakayakKayak Thanks for responding! I've been practicing, and can now put it together in 8 minutes 😁👍 p.s. any future plans of offering attachments for a tandem setup?
They used to give a free towel when you ordered a pakayak but Doug decided to stop that. I guess he's really desperate for us to pay 16 dollars per towel after spending almost 2 grand on a boat. I would suggest getting a towel from Amazon.
I just got mine yesterday, yeah I doubt the clamps will last forever in saltwater, but I trust it much more than any inflatables or oragami kayaks in coastal waters for sure. Kayaking in backwaters & especially pristine quiet lakes is one thing... Get what you pay for I suppose, not all kayaks are best value on every condition

Very nice! If I ever win the lottery, this will be the one for me.

I am 5'4". I have no issues with connecting the clamps. Nice kayak. I love it!
cool am same height also, at 5'3 so this can be easy for us.
This thing is next step of kayak evolution, hopefully these things will come all around the world. The only negative thing is cost right now.
Whats the price for it? Cuz I cnt find it on at all on the net
@@adventure.guy_cjb pakayak.com; $1895 USD

You can buy a rudder for it. ;) But i thing you wont need that. It runs very straight.

Thnx! 😎👍
I agree with the weight!
Very clear explanation s👍👍

I seen people put their kayak on the roof, had to tieboth ends, and find the 2 harnesses to secure the middle
Good morning, good afternoon or good night friend. A hug and congratulations for the beautiful work. I am here from the coast of Brazil.
Wow that is fantastic!!
How do you do that if you’re short? Hard to reach.
This is really great but I nearly died when I saw the current uk price. £2,700 ! Yikes!

Well done!
looks great but would it leak around the connections?
Guaranteed not to leak! We use a tongue and groove type of connection with a silicone gasket in the groove.
This is dope :)
I’d need a step ladder for that top piece. 🤔
You can always lay it down or clamp the top to the second before you stack them on the bottom part.
구입하고 싶네요
The price is in Thailand
No fin or skeg? How does it track?
It tracks beautifully straight.

@@teop7887 Yes, the tandem section is in the design phase.

Expensive and heavy
its like lego's only with locks :)
WOW!!!
Why don't they make all those small metal clamp parts in brass ?
Now gather 2 of every animal.
Anybody else notice that he didn't put the Kayak in the water and get in?

Only one model and it's $2k. So many other options. So many inflatables. So many folding boats.

Or you just buy a Swedish Point 65 and you're out on the water, staying dry, in 20 sec.
Do they even make a 14', sit inside sea kayak? I doubt their 9.5' sit inside modular comes anywhere this in performance.
