My Story one person hybrid kayak has arrived from Denmark.
This kayak is known as a hybrid, due to its drop-stitch high-pressure floor (deck), and more traditional side chambers.
The Ranger One comes in three colours:
Orange, Turquoise, and Maroon.
Here are my thoughts on this kayak straight out of the box. Also in this video, I share the specifications and a few tips in relation to inflating the kayak and how I stop the seat from sliding about. In Part Two, which will be my "On The Water" video, I will check out the performance of the kayak, the seat, and the supplied paddle.
The kayak arrived within 7 working days. The condition of the kayak was very good, but the bag and fabric footrest were covered in mould.
I have emailed the seller (Euroskateshop) attaching photos and a link to this video showing the condition of the bag and footrest, and I am awaiting a reply. I will update you all once I have had a reply.
