We want portable kayaks for lake tahoe. Can these handle a small dog like a pomsky? We dont need much cargo space other than a cooler for lunch and drinks and a dog.

[@KayakCliff]

Yes, I'm assuming it's probably a 20 pound dog? I don't think that's any problem at all as long as you don't exceed total weight limit. Should be room for a small cooler in the back as well.

Used ours today for a couple hours, no problems both of us were happy with them. I did feel kinda goofy having to inflate our kayaks while others at the lake were just pulling them off their vehicles straight into the water. I used an electric pump and a lot of staring going on. Packing up was quick.

[@KayakCliff]

@ralphkeith2905 the razor light has always been my favorite and now it is one of my favorites. The EZLite - is now a favorite as well. As somebody who has multiple kayaks, I use the easy light as a grab and go boat when I don't need to carry anything more than a small cooler, great for weeknight paddles or for a workout. I love how light it is! I love how much easier it is to roll up than the razor light. Once a 12 foot version comes out, that might be the best of both worlds.

[@shortiaw6850]

I tested mine today and would rate it 5/5 for performance, including speed, tracking, comfort, and stability. This kayak easily reaches 4-5 mph with great stability and tracking. I spent half a day fishing in windy conditions and still felt relaxed. However, I do have some suggestions. First, I tested the kayak on a windy day with 12mph wind speed and 25mph gusts. The wave brought a lot of water inside the kayak due to the low height of the side chamber. I would say bring a towel or hand pump if you plan to paddle in 10mph+ wind or 20mph+ gusts, or you'll end up with a wet butt. Second, I order the basic package with Deluxe Seat. I was wondering why the manual told me to be careful and stay balanced with the inflated Deluxe Seat until the first second I was on the water. A fully inflated Deluxe Seat is sooo unstable with this kayak. I immediately deflated the bottom chamber, and it became much better. I would say the Deluxe seat is not designed for this kayak. Last, the EVA foam on the kayak floor isn't very durable and gets dirty easily. Even though I wore Crocs with soft bottoms, a few pieces of the parallelogram EVA foam peeled off. This might not be a problem for me since I will not return this kayak. However, if anyone wants to use their 120-day return policy to return this kayak, this could be a big problem since Sea Eagle requires the returned product to be clean and undamaged.

[@KayakCliff]

Thank you so much for your feedback! I have not had any problem with the EVA foam becoming damaged, and I have had it out three times so far. I have had the issue with it getting dirty with each use. I remedy that by cleaning it down with some soapy water when I wash the boat down at the end of the day. This tends to remove, all of the stains, however, there's always a little bit that will be there invisible. EVA foam is a very popular product used on the floors of most every inflatable paddleboard, you do wanna make sure that you have nothing on the bottom of your shoes that could skuff it. I have found it to be inherently, pretty durable, however, I do see where you could leave some marks if there is anything sharp or jagged dragged across it. EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz

Cliff, If you could only own one inflatable the 393RL or the EZlite, what would it be? Storage space is a big a factor as speed.

Hi, definitely the 393 RL razor light! It has the speed and it has plenty of storage. I have done several camping trips out of it with no problem! Not a lot of storage in the EZLite.

Thank you for watching Jeffrey and great question! Right now Sea Eagle only has the corded one stage inflation pump.

@@KayakCliff Awesome - thank you so much for the information and clarification.

[@capng]

Two questions. Looked thru the links for your equipment, but haven't found one for your battery powered air pump. Did I miss it? Do you think that Sea Eagle might come out with a longer version of this kayak? I have a 13'8" & a 10' hard-shell & the former is much faster & straighter than the latter. I'm assuming that might hold true for this model as well? While watching your vid, I was wishing you into both up & downstream runs for your speed test & you did it!

[@KayakCliff]

Hi 👋 there! Here is the link for the air pumps. Air Inflation Pumps: bit.ly/3MjKN9z As successful as the 10 footer is, I would not be surprised if they come out with a 12 footer at some point in the future.

[@shortiaw6850]

There is a sponge-like material on the chamber floor to protect it from scratches. Will it absorb water if it gets wet? If so, how long will it take to fully dry before I can pack it up? I dislike inflatable kayaks covered with fabric because water always penetrates through the fabric, and it takes at least two days to dry before I can store it. I do not have a backyard at home, so it will occupy my dining room space for a long time every time I use it.

[@KayakCliff]

Hi there, great question! The EVA foam on the inside of the kayak, does not absorb water. When you are finished with the kayak, if you completely towel dry it off, then unroll it at home, it will dry overnight with your air conditioning running. I always inflate mine at home and it even drives faster. Definitely does not take two days to dry. EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz

[@michaelpiescer4552]

Thanks for a great review of Sea Eagle's latest kayak! With regard to performance and speed, would you say that the EZLite falls somewhere between the FastTrack and Razorlite?

[@KayakCliff]

I would say that's an accurate analysis! I do plan sometime this summer to do a comparison speed test between both of them. Then we will know! Bottom line it is a fast kayak.

Hi Cliff, How would you say this tracks compared to the Razorlite 393? I bought a Aquaglide Cirrus 110 and did not like the way it tracked and handled. I am used to a hardshell, but would like less weight . Thank you!

[@KayakCliff]

Hi Sarah, if you paddle with the included skeg that comes with the EZLite, it tracks straight as an arrow. I like a boat that is a little bit more playful and allows for greater maneuverability while paddling. For that reason, I purchased the small skeg from sea Eagle and really like how it performs. With both skegs, I am able to achieve any type of paddling that I wanna do, including super shallow water paddling.

[@KayakCliff]

Oh crud, sorry about that. For the razor light, now that is a different story. I prefer to not paddle with a skeg on the razor light usually. If I do put a skeg on, I only put the small skeg on. Without the skeg - the razor light tracks pretty well while you are paddling, but when you stop paddling, it will start to veer right or left. The small skeg helps to keep it centered or the standard one that comes with the boat. I just like a boat that's a little bit more playful, that's just me, so that's why I usually go without. Let me know how it works for you!

[@bobrich1950]

Cliff, do you have any ideas for anchor mounts ? Possibly in conjunction with a Scotty anchor mount ?? Thanks

[@KayakCliff]

Hi Bob, when I'm kayaking and needing to anchor, I just have the anchor line tied to a carabiner that I just clip to the front or rear grab handle. Being seated in the middle of the kayak, it is actually easy to retrieve the anchor, if you just do a couple paddle strokes forward or backward, then grab the rope as it comes alongside the kayak and pull up the anchor. Very easy and very low tech, I love it!

[@bobrich1950]

Cliff, finally got mine. Are you just supposed to force the locking end of the foot brace bars down into the clip.?? I'm afraid to push it too hard in fear of breaking that clip. The receiving end there doesn't seem to have too much give. Help ?? Suggests ??

[@KayakCliff]

Hi Bob, Yes, you slide the foot brace rods through both holes on the black receiver mounted to the boat hull. Then take the end of the rod with the black 90 degree plastic finger, then rotate it downwards to lock it into place in the receiver. Should rotate down pretty easily if you have the rod fully inserted. Let me know if you figured it out!

[@bobrich1950]

Hey Cliff. Bill S in PA with 393rl. I am interested in EZ lite as friend kayak. All my friends are aged and arthritic. You rarely show getting in and out of the sea eagles. I know getting out of my Razorlite 393rl is very difficult for me. Thinking the same for EZ lite and would be interested in you showing how to get in and out. A lot of seniors may have the same request. Thanks,and paddle on my friend.

[@KayakCliff]

Hey Bill, great to hear from you and great question! In the attached video, I go over this and illustrate it with my dad who is 84 years old in the tandem razor light. Simply wade out to knee-deep water, then simply sit down into the boat like you were sitting into a chair. When the water is up to your knees, all you have to do is bend and sit at a 90° angle, this makes it very achievable. Check out the video to see how we did it. Suwannee River Paddling Three Days With My Dad kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TImpmgoZaBkJo

[@mujimu99]

beyond Cliff's recommendation, i recommend you also use the paddle to get in and out of the boat. easy method: in knee-deep water, use the paddle as a cane to stand or sit. slightly more advanced, but more helpful method: put the paddle across the kayak diagonally and then use it for leverage as you sit and stand, like a grab bar that can take weight. you can then push off the paddle to stand up, or lower yourself as you sit. i say diagonally as you can make a wedge with it and the boat, with your body in the middle, where you can hold onto the paddle with one arm and the boat with the other as you stand or sit.

Hi! My wife and i are considering getting these as we have bad backs and struggle cartopping/managing our hard-shells and dont get out for regular short paddles since its too much effort. These seem to support our weight (we're about 250lbs at 5'6" and they say 275 paddler, 325 total in the info). Do you think they'd be a decent fit? We could do maybe a fast track tandem otherwise, but these seem like easier to manage fun little boats for short fun paddles.

[@KayakCliff]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting and great question! I personally prefer to paddle in my own kayak, rather than paddling tandem. It is always a much better experience for me and most others that I talk to. The EZLite would accommodate both you or your wife perfectly! I would just make sure that you pull the seat back to the farthest rearward position, while still being able to put your feet on the foot pegs. I have conversed with several people like yourselves that have found the EZLite10 to work beautifully. As always, I encourage my viewers to give me some feedback after they have tried the boats. That helps me give better information to other people who have questions. Safe adventuring to you and your wife out there this summer!

Hey Cliff 2 questions please: Can you advise how stable the ELite vs the 393rl? I do rivers, streams and creeks that have large boulders in it. When the 393rl goes over and makes contact with a rock it turns into a teeter totter and is very susceptible to flipping because of the ridged floor. Wondering with the "V" hull on the EZLite if this would be better or worse? I see there are no drain holes? Does the water get trapped in the folds when you flip it drain and you have to sop it up with towel? Thank you.

[@KayakCliff]

Hi 👋 there! The EZLite is much more stable than the RazorLite. With the V floor, if you get high center on a boulder I would imagine your stability will be greater than when you do that on the RazorLite, especially if you can position that boulder on the flat side of the V. The nice thing about the RazorLite is you can paddle extremely effectively with no skeg, that is my favorite way to paddle the RazorLite, which makes it an awesome boat for shallow rivers. If you are in the EZLite, I highly recommend purchasing the small skeg that Sea Eagle offers, that is the only skeg I use on the EZLite10 and it works very well!

(6.1 mph + 1.8 mph) divided by 2 = 3.95 MPH Say you have a boat that can go 5 mph. with a 1 mph current, you would go 6 mph downstream and 4 upstream. 6+4)/2 = 5

[@KayakCliff]

Yes, but if you add the two speeds together, then divide by two, you are just getting the average speed not the difference of the speed going up stream versus the speed going downstream....

I ordered this last week and am still waiting for delivery. It's the newest inflatable kayak and looks amazing, so I want to give it a try. It is a light kayak, but I wouldn't call it 'Ultralight.' There are many other drop-stitch kayaks in this weight range, such as the NRS Kuda and Kokopelli Platte, but they don't label themselves as 'Ultralight.' The only 'Ultralight' kayak in my mind is the Aquaglide Cirrus, which weighs 14-18 lbs and is truly lightweight. However, based on reviews, the Cirrus seems to be made from very thin material. Since I go fishing sometimes, I'm worried that a simple contact with a hook could damage the inflatable chamber. My main concern about the Ezlite is the storage space look small. I'll give it a try next week when it arrives.

Thank you for watching and commenting! I truly think you will like this new boat! I am aware of those other boats that you mentioned, but with regards to this boat, I consider my title to be correct as this is a high-performing, affordable, and light wight kayak. I don't think those other boats have those three attributes. Compared to plastic boats that the majority of the population has, I definitely consider this to be ultralight ,while still within the affordable realm.

@@KayakCliff Definitely. Both Kuda and Cirrus show relatively poor tracking. I also searched a lot about glued seam vs heat welded seam. Indeed some ppl mentioned their sea eagle seam failed after a couple of years of storage. So I added another 3-year extended warranty. Hopefully, this product will cover me until I am tired of kayaking.

@shortiaw6850 well, don't ever get tired of kayaking! I believe most seem issues occur from improper storage. I refrain from storage in un climatized spaces. I store mine indoors where the temperature is a constant 75° to 80°F.

I've had my FastTrack almost 10 yrs. Last few not used. I regret to inform you its leaking at the seams. I really wanted to take it on the river this year. Loved the kayak but I just got a Crescent Primo. Inflatables are awesome but won't last forever. Great video.

[@KayakCliff]

Sorry to hear that about your seams. I tend to hear from a lot of people that 10 years and the seams start to go out. Just wondering, how did you store yours? Was it subject to the hot and cold elements out in a garage or was it in a condition space?
