very easy to assemble and fun to use!
Easy assembly, and easy to get replacement parts such as the seat cage. I lost mine in transit. We fold and fit three kayaks comfortably in my car and go everywhere!
Loving my Tucktec which has given me the opportunity to paddle and spend time in nature again! Had to give up my 15’ touring kayak three years ago and this was the BEST solution ever!! The set up is very intuitive and fairly easy, even two uses in. Paddled three miles my first time out and 9.5 miles this past week. Despite a stiff wind and choppy waters, I managed very well and had an enjoyable time!
I just bought a Tucktec and love the convience and portability of it. I live near a river, and will be taking it out soon. I have taken out into a small pond, and it handles great!
USED - Tucktec Folding Kayak | Solid Hard-Shell foldable | 2 minute assembly
I'm a 63 year old grandma that likes to kayak. It is too difficult for me to lift my traditional kayak on the roof of my car by myself. I can only go kayaking when my husband is available. With the folding kayak, I can go anytime I want. I don't need to rely on someone else. I want to stay as active as I can for as long as I can.
Great kayak! It’s a little hard to build by one person without a lot of arm strength but it’s getting easier with every practice.
I am so happy with my Tucktek. I've had it out on the water in many conditions - lakes, rivers, streams, channels - and I've been happy with its performance. It's done everything I've asked of it and most importantly I feel SAFE in it. I have made a few modifications as recommended on the owners' Facebook page such as a small weatherproof strip at the back side folds to prevent water migrating into the kayak, and I've added a portable foam seat on top of the provided seat for comfort on long paddles. I'm enjoying personalizing my "Green Darner" with stickers, and I really enjoy the reaction of other kayakers as I assemble and take down my Tucktec!
I wouldn't be able to paddle without my Tucktec because I can't transport nor carry a traditional kayak. My Tucktec gives me freedom on the water!!
I am very pleased with the SeaSense two-part paddle. It is lightweight, comfortable to use, and very efficient in the water. It feels well balanced and makes paddling easy and enjoyable without unnecessary fatigue. The two-part design is also convenient for transporting and storing. Excellent quality and performance. Highly recommend!
The kayaks showed up quickly with no damage and no missing parts. After watching the video a few times we were able to assemble and disassemble them easily in less than 10 minutes (minimum elapsed time is not really our goal. At 70 plus years of age we go for smoothness of process and minimum groaning.) The last big test was taking them to the beach and seeing if we could get into and out of them without swamping or damaging them. This was not an exactly intuitive, but we did figure it out and gave everyone at the beach some great entertainment. Just wish someone had videoed it. We paddled for a couple of hours in moderate wind with 6 inch swells. Great little boats. We anticipate many more enjoyable outings.
But I am very happy. Assembly of my Tucktec Pro was very easy to figure out, but don't underestimate the amount of brute force required the first time, but much easier each successive time. It behaved as well as I had hoped and none of the problems I feared. I have had a great deal of experience with hard shell kayaks and the Tucktec Pro compares admirably.
Got a used junior model, but it looked brand new! Little bit of a learning curve in how to manipulate the latches, but after a few more uses it will be a piece of cake. I was surprised surpreasy across the water. Would recommend these kayaks to anyone looking for some thing easy to transport and fun to use.
I’ve had my Tucktec out only once so far, but it performed flawlessly on the lake, and it was nice having my drink secured right beside me. The cup holder easily snaps onto the frame, so you can put it where it’s comfortable for you. Worth the very affordable price!
I’m very pleased with how stable this yak is on the water. I look forward to more great paddling experiences.
My experience with the staff of Tucktec was great. I’ve got assembly down to 7 minutes and can do it myself, (I’m a 68 yo woman) at 5’2”, 190 lbs, I feel comfortable and confident while in this yak. I had no trouble getting in or out.
Very light weight and breaks down flat. Just what I needed for my float tube.
Took it out for the 1st paddle the other day. Very impressed in the handling and all the room. Definitely an going to replace the seat with something else. Putting together was easy, rolling it up after was a little more difficult. I'm sure I'll get it figured out. Put in my acura and took off! Worth it!!
Ive taken out my new kayak about 10 times since receiving it 3 weeks ago and it's going great! Folding the kayak gets easier and easier the more you do it, and it's so nice and lightweight, i can carry it several yards to the waterfront when it's ready to go. Very happy with my purchase!
I'm happy with my x-treme paddle. It folds and unfolds easily, has a comfortable grip and works great with my new kayak.
Finally got the kayak out yesterday. No problems, tracked nicely and for me, very stable. For me, the only downside is that my rear end got tired, not much cushion back there anymore. Could use a little more padding.
This cup holder snaps into place easily and handles different sized cups with ease
Misplaced the one that came with mine , the new one fits perfect and makes a difference when on the water
