I agree that the Origami Paddler is unique – it’s a uniquely poor design. Simply put, there are countless better choices on the market for the same money.

In reply to John J. I'm not being negative to get attention John. I'm negative about the kayak, because it's a crappy kayak. I'm sorry you don't like to hear that.

Ken is completely negative. Being negative is how he gets the attention he wants. I didn’t him stand up once in his video.

In reply to Lisette R.. That's great to hear! That's definitely the goal of a gateway kayak like this. Have a wondering summer on the water!

There are a number to choose from. Decathlon has a number of inflatables under $400. Tucktec also provides a much better paddling experience for less money. I think the best affordable portable kayak is the Sea Eagle 330. https://bit.ly/3SqoVLX

We have two of these purchased as a super early bird on Kickstarter so we paid $558 for TWO of them (Crazy!) in 2020 and received them in 2021 but didn’t take them out until last weekend for the first time and we had a really pleasant experience. Other than them being heavy (we are new paddlers and didn’t realize most people use some kind of dolly to get from the car to the water) we had a great time in the South Florida intercoastal and mangrove trails.

I think it really depends on your end goal, I weigh 140 and my daughter 60 lbs rode with me and my husband is 160 and my son 40 lbs rode with him and it was able to support us on a leisurely paddle. We really enjoyed the experience. Sadly they aren’t being made anymore because of cashflow & production issues during the pandemic but I think it fit a good niche and got us out on the water which all in all was our goal when we purchased them.

In reply to Ray F. That sucks Ray! Nothing worse than being disappointed with something that you're excited about.

There are many options out there for portable kayaks. This product is not portable.
