I weigh 120 and I can stand on it. when my husband stands on it water does get on it. 3 kids can stand on it easily.

Absolutely. I'm 6' 2" and almost 200. Me, my wife, and six kids stood up long enough to get a group picture. Me alone could easily walk on it. Just pump it up like your supposed to (pretty firm) and you'll have no trouble walking on it.

Yes, adults can walk on this. It is not the easiest thing to do as the inflatable moves in the opposite direction as you are walking but it is possible. Fun to watch people try. This inflatable is rated to hold 6 adults. the trick is to inflate it to the proper pressure. i think it is 2.5 psi which a pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter can not do. you need an electric pump that connects directly to the battery or a manual pump.

The walking area is 17" wide by 44" long -- that's big enough for me to walk on. I am 5'5" and I just walk; so I don't take up much space -- I don't know how it would be for running or if you take big steps. I just walk toward the front and stay in that area holding on to the rail. I don't think it is sturdy enough for running or tremendously active workouts, but it is great for just walking the way I do. I am 79 years old but I swim 1 mile each day doing the backstroke and also do 1 hour of water aerobics; so I do exercise but I am not speedy or walking with a stomp -- just walking and watching TV, The walking area is 17" wide by 44" long -- that's big enough for me to walk on.

yes, even for an adult more than 200 pounds. We use this belt when snorkelling in cuba.

Yes, without a doubt. You will get wet as there is not much rocker in the bow but there's no question it's sea worthy in those conditions. I take it rafting regularly and we have no problem with waves that size and bigger. You'll want some kind of motor though. Unless you're a super human rower the oars are not going to make much headway in those kinds of seas.

I would look on swixnordicwalking.com and contact us. They were very helpful and responded quickly.

That's kind of subjective. It depends on the activity. Maybe 4-5 really active kids with no safe quarter for the adults. Easily half a dozen adults without the kids if they're just wading with margaritas in hand. Combined, I guess it depends on your splash tolerance. :)

Sure, as long as the boat has a motor mount and you can reach the handle guide

Yes. It makes it south easier to walk across rough surface to enter the water. Plus no need to worry about blister if you're in the water a long time

It is pretty easy for an adult to move. If you hold it from the top/middle, you can walk it around to different locations.

Hi Jeremy,I have not tried yet paddling alone. But I do not think it will be a problem.Att,Alexandre

No. You cannot. Actually I think the flow is too strong for a disabled person.

Yes. In fact, we had two adults doing just that yesterday. The person sitting actually stabilizes the board a bit and makes it easier to stand and paddle. JVH

We have had people more than 250 Ibs ride in ours. It was fine, no stressed seams or anything. It is just rated at 220 Ibs for safety but we have never had any issues. We have only used ours on the local rivers however, not in the big lake or open waters.

The distance from your deck/dock to the water line would have some influence but generally I would go with a 4 step over a 3, and a 5 step over a 4. The longer the ladder, the easier it is generally to get out of the water....especially for adults.

We have only used it going down the Chena River in Fairbanks Alaska. A very mild river. I have also floated the Colorado River In Nevada and I would definitely use it on that river. There is so much room and very easy to maneuver. It's very sturdy.

It is quite easy to paddle solo. I have paddled in both the middle and rear positions in flat water, no problem. I have not paddled solo in whitewater, would choose to paddle from the middle should I do so. Inasmuch as the Sea Eagle is an inflatable, it is a little sluggish when paddling solo.Grant in Seattle

No, not at all. An adult can step over easily. My 2 year old couldn't climb in, but if I went in first it was easy to pick her up by reaching over the edge of the pool. Just make sure you have level ground or the water level in the pool will be off and you may have trouble keeping it above the filter inlet/outlet without it overflowing on the other side.
