Flat water or running water? Or both? Only reason I'm asking so many question is I have friends coming down for the week, and one of them is a whitewater guide and she knows just about everything about inflatable stuff. I always worry about punctures in the CenTex rivers (even just paddling or fishing) so I've never even thought about one. Now I'm curious.
if they're anything like inflatable paddleboards I'm not sure there's much to worry about there. And we had a paddleboard that developed a leak (not quite sure how that happened), but it was fairly straightforward to make the repair
Calm lake primarily. I see quite a few that look fine on Amazon sub $200 but I want to avoid complete garbage if possible.
I know this is not in the price range mentioned, but Austin Kayak just sent me an email about this inflatable kayak. You get another ten percent off if you subscribe to their email blast https://www.austinkayak.com/STAR-Rival-Inflatable-Fishing-Kayak-2021/ACK29463P.html
