Proven inflatable kayak

Purchased in 2020, I have paddled many waters from the top of Scotland including the Caledonian Canal to here in Devon. I use GPS tracking and I've clocked up plus 800 miles to date in my 393. I often wild camp in my vehicle across the country and take my kayak wherever I go as it takes up little space. Its inflatable design makes it for me second to none for performance in its range. Fantastic product for the price highly recommend.

Buying my first Kayaks

Previously I had only paddled in a Canadian canoe and I loved the experience. Then lucky enough to move to be 2 minutes walk from the river Wye I decided to buy 2 x kayaks, but I wanted inflatable ones. Having done my research I decided I would go for Sea Eagle and phoned Spindrift. Dave and Mark were absolutely brilliant in terms of their swiftness of response to my initial communications and understanding my needs and concerns. In the end I opted for a razorlite 393RL and a Fast Track 385. The service for delivery was almost too efficient as they were to arrive on the one day of the week I would not be home, but again the swiftness of response from Dave & the team meant the delivery was quickly re-scheduled for the following day. We have yet to use the 385, but the 393 is fantastic. As the water on the Wye is quite shallow at the moment I haven’s used the Skeg but I have found no issues with direction..Thank you to Dave and the team, when I next need anything to do with Kayaking you will be my first port of call.

At the same time I would like to advise that before you use the Kayaks for the first time I would practice at least a couple of times on each setting up and packing up. I did this in my lounge. The 385 is a doddle to set up. The 393 not quite so due to the footrests. Black mark against Sea Eagle for these, they are incredibly hard work to put in and remove from the boat, the could so easily put in an over and close clasp! As to packing up, I needed to be able to do this as I am walking from the house to the river so it was critical to be able to re-pack the big rucksack to get home along the river path. Here comes the second epic fail from Sea Eagle, your instructions and video for re-packing the 393 are shockingly bad. The video is not even for the newest iteration of the 393RL, and the kayak they use in the videos looks like its made of black bin liners and folds way to easy and is in no way typical of what you will encounter when you try and re-pack. I have now found a way to repack, but no thanks to Sea Eagle.

But at the end of the despite two minor niggles, I have to say ultimately, fantastic Kayaks from Sea Eagle, and fantastic customer experience from Spindrift, especially being new to the wonderful world of Kayaking

I purchased both a Razorlite 473 and 393 from Spindrift. Firstly they very reactive to my enquires replying within an hour each time I had a question, then the price was the lowest I could find with some shops asking a ridiculous £2000+ for the 393. The kayaks arrived next day and were everything I was expecting. Great service.
