Wowser fast!

The high-pressure drop-stitch chambers give you excellent rigidity, this kayak really cuts through the water beautifully.

Yes!

The tracking is excellent.

The unique drop-stitch keels in the bow and stern of the Odyssey are very effective at keeping the kayak tracking in a straight line, even without the fin.

We have also ensured your centre of gravity is as far forward as possible, so that the bow keel is IN the water, not poking out - this dramatically improves tracking in general and especially in wind.

Yes and no.

Directionally, it holds it's line quite well in wind, thanks to the drop-stitch bow and stern keels.

But the side walls sit somewhat high above the waterline, so the kayak will get blown by the wind.

The seat (included) has an extra-stiff high back, and the D-rings have been placed high on the side walls, so you get very good lumbar support.

The seat includes a detachable foam bum cushion. Sitting higher makes the paddling action a little easier, but sitting lower gives you better stability - your choice.

There are adjustable foot pegs included. Being able to brace your feet as you paddle greatly reduces the strain on your back.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak comes with a set of adjustable foot pegs. Being able to brace your feet as you paddle greatly reduces the strain on your back.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak has very good back support – the seat back is high and extra-stiff with adjustable straps to get the angle right. It also has a detachable foam bum cushion.

Yes!

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is ideal for taking dogs.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is very spacious and has an open cockpit, which means customers can easily fit dogs.

The drop-stitch floor inside the kayak is super tough, you do not need any reinforcement.

The wide flat hull means the kayak is very stable so you won’t all go over board if your dog gets excited and makes a sudden move (not that they ever do that …).

Yes.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is very spacious and has an open cockpit, which gives you plenty of room for gear that is easily accessible.

The wide flat hull means the kayak is very stable so you can focus on fishing and relaxing.

The drop-stitch PVC is extremely durable, giving you the confidence that neither fish nor fishing gear will cause a puncture.

Optional Railblaza Starport Rod Holder II and RailBlaza Starport Adhesive Mount can be attached to the drop-stitch floor.

Optional kayak anchor if the fish are biting and you want to stay where you are.

Yes.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is great for taking kids!

It’s super-stable, so the kids can have a nap and muck around without tipping it over.

It’s very big and has a wide-open cockpit, so there’s heaps of space.

Yes.

The full drop-stitch rigidity and the open style cockpit make it ideal for stepping onto from a boat.

It’s fast and comfortable enough for anything from 1 hour to a full-day trip.

It’s even great for multi-day expeditions, however it has an open cockpit so you will likely get wet.

Not really, because there is no spray deck to keep swamping waves out, and the kayak does not have bail ports, so any water that gets inside the kayak is staying in there.

If you are considering paddling in rough conditions, the Kayak Bilge Pump is recommended.

No.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is fine for class 1 and 2 whitewater, however it is really designed to paddle in a straight line, and therefore not recommended for rivers above class 2.

Yes, it is definitely suitable for beginners.

The key feature for beginners is stability and the Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is wonderfully stable, so no dramas there.

The hull design makes it super-easy to paddle straight, even if you've never paddled before.

Just be aware that although the Odyssey is stable once you are in it, it is not as easy to get in and out of as the Quest range of kayaks.

Good question.

In my experience, seniors are looking for a lightweight kayak, and at 15.2kg, the Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is not our lightest tandem kayak (although it's not our heaviest either). It's ultimately up to you to determine whether you can comfortably and easily lift 15.2kg down to the water.

The other key features for seniors are stability and ease of getting in and out – the Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is extremely stable once you're in it, but the side walls can make it a little tricky to get in an out of. If you want a kayak you can just "flop" in and out of, check out the Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak.

No, the Odyssey kayak is really too big for kids to paddle on their own.

If you're looking for a kayak to get your child started, check out our Lightweight Kayaks.

It's wide and stable with a wide-open cockpit, but the side walls make it a little more difficult to get in and out of than our Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak.

Yes, the Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is LONG inside.

You can adjust the seat straps to bring the seat closer to the front of the kayak, or further back in the cockpit to give you more leg room.

The maximum capacity is 180kg.

Note that this is the total capacity, including gear. We recommend the max paddler weight of 150kg so there is not too much weight all on one spot.

The Jaspara range of kayaks is crafted using premium-quality PVC drop-stitch and assembled by a dedicated team.

Each kayak is fully inflated and left for a period of 7 days to ensure it remains leak-free before packaging.

We've personally tested and carefully positioned essential components—such as handles, seats, D-rings, and foot pegs—to guarantee comfort, stability, and an optimal paddling experience.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is a sit-on-top kayak with a wide-open cockpit.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is a solo kayak – this means it has seating for 1 person.

Deflated and packed dimensions are:

113cm x 49cm x 38cm

The kayak weight is 15.2kg (kayak + fin + seats + foot pegs), the entire bag is 20kg.

At 15.2kg, the Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is not our lightest solo kayak, but also not our heaviest.

You would have to be reasonably strong to carry it down to the water by yourself when inflated.

If you want to make it easier to transport, I would suggest getting the C-tug Kayak Cart this allows you to wheel the kayak to the water and then you can easily stow the cart on the deck.

The Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak is very stable once you are in it, however it is a little wobbly getting in and out of.

There is a detachable fin that comes with the kayak, but you do not need to use it, the kayak tracks very well without it.

We included the fin so you would be able to use the fin box on the kayak to attach a propeller (yee haw!).

Yes - the Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak includes a removable slide-and-lock fin via the fin box underneath. It does not have a rudder.

No.

It’s about 6.5 minutes with the 12V Kayak and SUP Pump, once you have got the hang of it.

Pack Away Time is around 5:00 minutes

Take off the valve covers and set the valves to deflate. Walk away for a few minutes to let the kayak deflate.

When you get to the valves, fold the stern in the same direction as the bow and roll in.
