Airis Play 8 rocks as an inflatable play boat
About the reviewer
Avid inflatable kayak paddler looking for something more fun than what has been available for the past decade.Test environment
Various rivers up to class 3-4.Review
The high pressure hull, flat bottom, short waterline and full bow make this boat perform like nothing else out there! It planes and spins like a hardshell, but rolls up and stows in your trunk (along with all the rest of your gear). At only 15 pounds it's super easy to right if you capsize and the low sides make re-entry a cinch. To trick it out for whitewater use I cut off the skeg, and added an NRS backband and thigh straps. Depending on leg length you may want to add additional D-rings to get the best thigh strap fit.Conclusion
Awesome boat, and there are some killer deals to be found on the web - well worth the price!!Check out video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fSPknnadrY
