As a double leg amputee, I wanted a kayak that was easy to carry around and was light enough to carry with my prosthetic legs. Decent inflatables cost a fortune and aren't rigid, so I decided to go with Tucktec. So far I'm really enjoying the experience, it delivered within the week and having watched the folding tutorials online already, had it folded within 10 minutes my first time (and thats taking my time). Now for the test of time
I was amazed at the construction of this kayak. I have taken it out twice so far and it has performed beyond my expectations. I have had Old Town Kayaks before but now I travel in a 16 ft rv and have wanted to kayak on my trips, this kayak is perfect as it fits easily in my Highlander. The only thing I did was put door edge guard on the edges of the kayak. It was an excellent purchase.
I tried out my tucktek pro-model for the first time this weekend. It was easy to set up and worked great in the bay that I was kayaking in. Even though it was my first time setting it up and they said it might take 15-20 minutes the first time, I think I got it put together in only 10 minutes or less. A bit of water splashed over the side into the kayak because there was a bit of wind and waves, so I ended up sitting in a bit of a puddle, but it was not a big problem. Otherwise, it performed really well and was lightweight and easy to carry and seems very sturdy. I'm very excited to have a kayak I can throw in my car rather than having to have roof racks and strap it to the top and that is light enough for me to carry on my own!
Tucktec Pro Folding Kayak | Hard-Shell | 2-minute Set-up | Foldable, Portable Kayak
Wasn’t sure about safety of a fold up kayak, but this one is amazing. I also added stabilizers on each side so I can bring my pup for some adventures. The only thing is the first time out. It’s like wrestling an alligator, but it gets better with each assembly and takedown. Definitely happy about the structure, quality and weight.
Awesome! Works great!
I love my new Tucktec Pro--even the first time around, it was very easy to put together and put away. I loved the seat and was out on the water for several hours without any discomfort. I'm very happy with this product and look forward to hitting the water as much as possible.
For my honest review, I want to say that this was the best purchase I’ve made in a while. I purchased it about a month ago and have used it several times. The kayak arrived in excellent condition. The first few times it took me about 10 minutes to set up, but now I’m a pro. The kayak is fairly light to carry on my own and very stable. I also purchased the side stabilizer, which makes a real difference, it is super stable, which is important because I go out on my own. Customer service is great. I have no complaints whatsoever, and I truly recommend Tucktec folding kayaks.
I love this boat. I can get it places easily, it paddles great on lakes, and my pup and I are super comfy in it!! Thank you!
Great product overall it was a little tough, but the first assembly I felt like I was wrestling in alligator, but had no issues taken down putting away. I love the convenience and space savings
I bought the stabilizers so I can enjoy kayaking with my dog and it worked perfectly definitely great product. I can’t wait to use it in the future for some kayak backpacking trips.
Not quite the right shape anchor for the lake bottoms here, and the rope was a bit too short, but it works great as a grapple style anchor for tying off to the shore or objects in the water!
I love it! Do wish it had the foot rest though. Really like the support for the seat, it's a great design, and also seems more stable because of that. I like that you made a smooth foldover on the sides so it's not so sharp there, would be nice if all the edges were smooth and not so sharp, cut my fingers open on the sharp edges when lifting into the water. Other than that it's great! A lot lighter and easier to maneuver than 2023. I might sell my 2023 and get another Jr. Also really like the smooth finish, now when I put down stickers on the floor they will actually stick, couldn't get anything to stick on the 2023 rough finish plastic.
I was worried about how well it would hold up being a foldable kayak but it is actually very sturdy and folds up nicely to be able to fit just about anywhere and is super light and easy to pack around to remote places
Not only was this kayak easy to carry and assemble, it was the best performing kayak I have ever used! I was in rougher Waters today. The lightweight and durability of this product was amazing!
Like New - Tucktec Folding Kayak | Solid Hard-Shell foldable | 2 minute assembly
First off, Made in the USA by a small company that has amazing customer service and quick response and insanely fast shipping.
Kayak is awesome, got the HackIt kit and fishing package to go along with it and was definitely nice additions. Kayak glides thru the water effortlessly. Carried it a half mile with my fishing gear no problem. Fits in the trunk of my Hyundai Sonata. If you want lightweight and ultraportable. By and American Made Tucktec!
I’m 66, 5 foot female, on my 3rd time folding my kayak, I did it in 6 minutes. It’s wonderful being able to kayak again! Thanks Tucktec
The paddle is just as nice as the kayaks rugged durable and up to great quality
I am not able to put my standard kayak on my car because it’s a convertible so I needed something that I could take for occasional day trip paddles. This works perfectly - it folds nicely and fits in the passenger seat of my Miata!! It feels sturdy (for being a foldable light kayak) and easy to paddle around in. I’m very happy with my kayak and glad I made this purchase.
Love this paddle, puts together quickly in stores in my kayak for easy carry in
I love that I can fold up my kayak, put it in the back of my SUV and transport it without help. It is light enough weight for me to carry it, but on the water it feels just as stable as a hard shell kayak. I’m very happy with it!
We don't need a whitewater kayaking paddle for our TuckTec outings and this paddle does it's job well. The 2 pieces fit togethrt snugly compared to some inexpensive paddles at a local store. The paddle length is good for the width of the TuckTec and sitting position inside of a kayak. Didn't bang hands on sides much once I got used to it.
