TESTIMONIAL
"Hi Emily,
I took the Kayak out today for it’s maiden voyage. It was only a quick paddle (down the road from where I live) at Colleges Crossing, but was enough to convince me I made the right choice getting this Kayak.
My issue with hardshell kayaks is that I’m usually too unstable, but the straightedge just eliminates that problem completely making for a much more enjoyable experience. I also find this Kayak to be very easy to get in and out of.
I was very surprised at how quick and easy it was to inflate, I think it took me less than four minutes and it was ready to go."

So if you are looking for a comfortable, compact kayak that can go fishing, handle your dog, track straight for a leisurely paddle, and is suitable out on the ocean or down a river (up to class III), the StraitEdge inflatable kayak is an excellent choice for you.
Set-up Instructions for the StraitEdge Inflatable Kayak
My husband and I are in our late 50’s, and were about to buy ourselves 2 hard shell kayaks, but I just had this niggling doubt about getting them on and off the roof racks or camper trailer, storing them if we left camp for awhile etc. I found these online, read tons of reviews, and bought them without ever having seen one in real life.
Best thing ever! I wanted the option to use it fishing, so I bought the Straight Edge, and my husband got the Angler Pro because of the extremely comfy seat.
They are easy to inflate, easy to pack up (they fit easily back into their bag), and it’s just so beautiful being out in nature.
I recommend purchasing the pump with it, and a trolley is helpful if you are carrying other things too - we didn’t initially and then bought one anyway.
I would definitely recommend these kayaks from ozinflatables.
It took less than 5 minutes to unpack and inflate my Straight Edge Kayak. I found the kayak to be very stable getting into and out of, also the kayak was stable from the power, boat wash. Deflating and packing the kayak into the bag is really easy, quicker than my mate who had a hard shell, which he had to load onto his roof rack.
I would highly recommend the kayak, the service was excellent and Emily was very helpful with all my questions.
Oz Inflatables gave great service and prompt delivery.
The Straitedge inflatable suits me perfectly. Easy to pump up and easy to deflate and fits in the basket on the roof rack. A little heavy to lift up there but will work on a system to make it easier.
