I doth my hat to you Steve. I am an instructor and teach watersports. This is sound advice, well researched and practical. You should do what I do, you would make a very good instructor. Also Jill has us all laughing. My wife is the same before coffee. 😂

[@PHANTOMFILESDEBUNKS]

Amazing Steve. Sound advice and this could help save a life. You were also so correct about nature and the seal. But I also want to see you surf it 😉

[@vandox21]

Nice one as usual guys 👌

[@jillybodhitaylor7616]

Fab vlog babes x

[@desmondhammond1041]

Great vlog with your new water craft, looks epic fun and just another reason to be out on the sea 🌊 when surf is not great for surfing or paddle boarding 😎🤙

[@Baggers_Corner]

What an awesome video....Ive been looking for an inflatable kayak for when I'm down next year.....saved me the hassle of choosing....I'll be hitting the link for sure...stay safe guys 🤘

[@pipwestaway5614]

Great vlog guys. Really good example of how to re-enter your kayak after capsizing and teaching people to practice doing this in a safe environment before going out on an expedition! We love going out on our kayaks but great example of safety first! 🚣‍♂🦭🏄🏄‍♀

[@vanlifelivin9962]

That's a good size for the van mate, small, compact, loads of space for extras in the bag and at that price. It's a bargain. Going to check that link out. Cheers Stevo

[@robynjames4737]

As always epic vlog Steve, Jill 'bc' (before coffee) is hilarious 😂

[@janshelby5641]

Fab to see another vlog out ❤ well done Steve the kayak is a great piece of kit 🚢

[@rossdutton9781]

Great review I've been looking at one of these. You have just made my mind up. Enjoy and nice one buddy.

[@twosurfersinavan]

Aww epic, I had my one out yesterday. Dam good fun. Enjoy 🤙

[@rossdutton9781]

The word I was looking for was inspirational video. Thanks again buddy 👍🏻. Can't wait to get one now 😀

[@TonyHiggins-s2p]

Excellent video,

[@twosurfersinavan]

Thank you, much appreciated. 🤙

[@Shakingstevesallotment]

I've literally just ordered the 2 man one myself, good review, I live 50 seconds from the beach but will be adding an outrigger and petrol outboard

[@twosurfersinavan]

Sounds epic fun. Enjoy 😁

[@optimeenergy2869]

Not watched for a while but Steve is definitely looking thinner

[@Letzgoeverywhere]

Epic video guys! Great watch and advice! Was great to see you x

[@geoffknight7322]

Steve, I’ve only just come across your site, nice vlog, and I’m so happy you spent time seeing if you can re enter from the water, to me it’s the most important aspect along with wearing a PFD of course, so many people go out without understanding safety or without proper clothing. Subscribed 👍

[@twosurfersinavan]

Thank you, amazing feedback. I think if you put out content then you really have a duty of care. 🤙

[@OldNavajoTricks]

The Aqua Marina Caliber comes wi a cup howder, canny like man 🤘😁

[@twosurfersinavan]

Go'tee have them cup hawlders like. Canny bit of kit how 😂 😂😂

[@OldNavajoTricks]

@twosurfersinavan I'd not long seen your vid and I'm researching my first boat so seen a few and I remember seeing this thing and thinking wtf is that? Some wierd baling cup or a valve cage thingie... Cup howder, gerrinman! 🤘😂

[@twosurfersinavan]

[@OldNavajoTricks]

@@twosurfersinavan irrel dee fer beeyah 😂🥃

[@eddiedakin6964]

Fantastic vlog yet again 🙂 Not tried a kayak since my teens 🤔 Waiting on a hip replacement now, but think I'd still manage this 🙂

[@red9zero]

Steve looking buff 💪

[@justanomadicguy]

Hi Mate, really good video that. I am looking at one of these, and was looking for it to be big enough to do a bit of fishing on, or put a backpack in and do some wild camping. Would ypu say the 1 man is big enough or need the 2?

[@twosurfersinavan]

I think the one man is perfect for myself. I could easily fit a kit in it. But it depends on your kit. I would assume low weight, titanium etc then not a problem but if it was canvas, large sleeping bag, mat and stainless then yeah it would be tight. As for fishing I am sure you could just watch the hooks 😂. Two man would definitely be bigger if you had lost of kit.

[@justanomadicguy]

@@twosurfersinavan thanks mate, my kit fits in a 50 litre rucksack so isnt massive, but can get a 2 man for £280.or the one man for £185 so waa just weighing it up. Appreciate the reply

[@twosurfersinavan]

@andyroberts7197 no worries. For a 50ltr kit I would definitely go 2 man.

[@66scania]

Any probs or additional observations?Im about to order one.

[@twosurfersinavan]

No, I am a few month in, used it around 10 times since buying it and I love it. It's super fun, quality is fantastic. I definitely recommend it. 👍

[@renataszabo7806]

I also have this great kayak❤ I have had so much fun with it already, used it more than 50 times and nothing broke not even the bag which I carry around myself with public transport. It is really stable compared to other cheap inflatable kayaks.

[@twosurfersinavan]

@renataszabo7806 yes, it's a solid bit of kit. My one is still going solid all this time later. Only thing I do is oil the metal clasps etc as I use my one in the ocean. But it's an amazing kayak. Thanks for the comment. 🤙

[@tamsinsavage3604]

Brilliant informative vlog well done Stay salty

[@twosurfersinavan]

Thanks me lovely 😁 🤙

[@leejohnson197733]

I'm really unsure if I should get the aqua spirit or an aqua marina inflatable kyak, need some good advice. Is aqua spirit drop stitch?

[@twosurfersinavan]

Now that is a good question and I have no idea. I was more focused on the inner bladders, how much weight it could carry and how good it was for control. But I never looked at drop stitching. It's an amazing kayak, I love my one and I have had some amazing adventures so far. 🤙

[@geoffknight7322]

The floor will be drop stich as it’s inflated to 8.5psi the side chambers won’t be. I’ve got the Aqua Marina Spirit single seat and they look very similar, I’m very happy with the AM, I’d advise checking the weight limits of any kayak your interested in.

[@hikershaulofsurvival4517]

Good recovery steve, but just one thing, Forward your seat so your legs are not so stretched out, It helps reach forward and get a longer stroke then dig your heels in and helps you thrust your hip as you stroke, at least that's what I find. I like your recovery too, pull the boat under you, its going to get water in, but hey, you are alive, lol I use a wood open Kayak, but was just wondering if you stuck your legs out the back of an inflatable with your flippers on, could you make a wake for others to surf on 😂 Just one other thing, I have a challenge. You said you want to surf it, I know you and what you are thinking! Make it happen. 👍🤜🤙

[@martyl425]

hi dudes,is this really a £500 kayak.i bought because it was half price.

[@twosurfersinavan]

Yeah, I think the list price was close to that. I can't remember the exact cost, it's been a while since I bought it. But I am sure you can get them for like £280. But yeah, quality seams really good vs the other I had that was £220 at full price. It was super thin, single bladder etc. this thing is really good.

[@renataszabo7806]

The price seemed to have been decrease recently, because I got mine in February 2024 for 350€ on sale from amazon.
