New: Inflatable Creeker


Inflatable Creeker: interesting concept. The boat is very short, much like an inflatable Topolino, and it's got 6 air chambers, making it virtually unsinkable. On the inside is a simple aluminum frame, which makes the whole thing very rigid.

Thoughts anyone?
If you're happy, you're successful.

The first thing that comes to mind is: how long does it take to inflate the boat? Then again, you can do this while somebody else drives the car to the takeout.

But somehow I think a hardshell boat will protect you more against rocks etc. But this is just a feeling, not something that has been proven.

Could be a timely answer to the increasing difficulty of flying with kayaks. However, suspect that, like a raft, the rigidity/performance would vary a lot with air and water temperature - unless you were continually adjusting the pressure. Would love to try one. :unsure:

Would in not burst and deflate if it got punctured by a rock or a branch?
