Is it safe for inflatable kayak. Is it sharp?

With care it could be used without damage but for an inflatable I would try a mushroom shaped anchor that has all smooth edges.

I would not hesitate using it in an inflatable kayak. The only time you would need to be concerned would be when it is unfolded, but it is in the water at that time. Great anchor for me so far. Hope this helps.

We have not had a problem and often launch of the beach. We do lift the kayak going into the water until the skeg clears the ground. But sometimes coming in on a wave we do end up in shallow water no damage so far. Love our kayak. Very very happy with it. We go in seas, rivers and lakes. We do try to be careful with the skeg though.

Absolutely. I love that boat. Do not over inflate. You will get years of use.

Yes. Enough space for a small cooler or a pair of shoes. And yes. It does have good balance and level built for fishing and tough manouvers too. However: since is inflatable item, you have to be careful when manipulating fishing hooks or sharp objects close to the kayak's body.

No its not sharp. It's for coffee. Try a mellonballer for halved apples or a apple corer for whole apples.

Karen: I am very pleased with my Vapor 10. Most of all, I feel safe in it. Stable. Doesn't rock easily. Takes waves well. Large, comfortable cockpit. No cramped feel. roomy. My seat is not particularly comfortable, however, bought an inexpensive padded seat at TJMax, like one you would take to a football game. Did the trick! I don't think kayaks are the best boat for fishing, despite the advertising hype. Canoes are far better in my opinion. I fished from the Vapor 10 once. I.m glad I didn't catch anything. Don't know how I would manuever with a fish on the line. Overall, a very good recreational kayak which I recommend. Hope this helps. Allan Karen: I am very pleased with my Vapor 10.

Tandy, I have not capsized myself in a river with it, but I have got it wet rinsing the blade off after cutting citrus fruits and such, and I've gotten a lot more of the knife wet while doing so than I intended. If I had to guess, it would probably survive a dunk in the water, unless you happened to turn it on accidentally while it's underwater. If you're paranoid, get a dry bag and put your knife and such in it. It also has the added benefit of floating if you get dumped.

Yes. No problem, as long as the kayak is inflated enough so that the ends don't droop to the ground.

There is a warning label on the tube that pretty much says you shouldn't use it on or near any open water. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to test some light rapids assuming the rocks you plan on pumping into to aren't terribly sharp. The tube appears to be quite durable and well made. I just haven't used it anywhere other than our swimming pool. Hope this helps.

Not really - if you inflate the kayak too much you may experience some discomfort fitting your feet in, but at a medium inflation level you would fit fine and still maintain good buoyancy.

I don't Kayak. BUT.... This thing is sealed like a pelican case if you are familiar with those. "O" ring seal for the inner box. The speaker is fully waterproof. It floats and the inside stays bone DRY. I would not hesitate to use it on a Kayak. It is a really rugged box. BTW, I hunt, fish, boat and I have a wife that can tear up a brick. This was a purchase for her if that helps! Mike

I purchased the kayak so that it would be easy to store and easy to take to a site. The kayak seemed sturdy but, there was a hole within minutes and the kayak deflated quickly. If you are planning on using it on a lake and you swim-then, I think it would be ok. But, using it anywhere that has barnacles or rough edges-definitely not recommended.

Its not razor sharp or anything. But my 12 year old brother did some testing on its sharpness. It was able to cut into boxes and able to stab into the ground. It stabbed into a mattress with ease and was able to slice holes into the mattress. I tested myself by gliding it across my arm. All it was able to do was give a slight burn. However the tip is the dangerous part, and felt like it could do some damage. Anything like this wouldn't be 100% safe for a 10 year old unless its Styrofoam. However if you explain before hand the dangers of it, it'll be alright.

This boat is hard to paddle and steer in a straight direction if you're going down a river. Takes a bit of coordination, but you can manage. Just don't expect to go far in a short amount of time. Inflatable kayaks or canoes are speedier, or just get someone to tug you behind their kayak or canoe!

I use yard spikes from lowes to hold it down and it's easy to just tie the kayak with rope. I don't really think either precaution is necessary as it's pretty stable on it's own

I would not suggest it, is a nice inflatable I use to get to my sailboat and back, but is a on a protected cove, you could fish very close, is not a boat I would venture very far out
