Koda Aero Tandem

Such a blast!

This is my first inflatable After a dry run of assembly and setup, I took it out to the water. I was surprised by how well it handled in the water. Stable enough to stand up and shift around gear without worrying about tipping over. Packed with supplies and two of us, we could still get it moving pretty quickly through the water. I’m seriously impressed. I wish there were more videos on setup and guides like there are for the other models, and a sturdy bottom for the bag to help when moving it while fully packed. Other than that, it’s great!!

Still early days but so far we love it. Purchased the Koda Aero with Solis Seats to replace our well used but still serviceable tandem Aero Zeppelin which went with use all over the country from Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado to the Florida Keys. Our first and only use so far was around Upper Captiva Island and Cayo Costa. Since we brought the kayak to Upper Captiva on the water taxi we did not bring the Solis Seats and instead used the included soft seats. Great kayak. Loved the lower inflation pressure. Even at a lower pressure than the Zeppelin the boat was plenty rigid. The boat was comfortable for the 3 hour paddle both days with a midway stop for a leg stretch. Winds were around 5 mph and didn't notice any heavy push from the wind. Next outing will be rivers so hope the performance will be as enjoyable. Also like that the Koda is less weight packaged than the Zeppelin and was easier to pack.

Quality appears to be good. We've only taken it out a few times on the lake. It's smoother than expected, however, we are casual kayakers and enjoy slower paddles.
