You want the world to be a better place? Start with yourself. I believe a step closer to inner peace is being more in nature. Therefore why not try the inflatable way.
I believe being in nature can offer healing to stressed out brains and bodies. Nature has a way of correcting bodies back to normal and that's hard not to appreciate.
One part of nature that nearly anybody can connect to is water. It might have something to do with the spending place of our first months of existence.
What about paddling? Ever tried it? If you have, you know how peaceful it can be. If you have not, perhaps you should make that first time in an inflatable kayak.
Will inflatable kayaks measure up to paddling expectations? Well, they will seldom go faster than hard-shell kayaks, and are often smaller.
But, even though they are not as fast or sturdy, the inflatable kayak has great advantages. They have grown from low quality playthings, to water vehicles that can be trusted and used in difficult water conditions.
So, what's real advantage with an inflatable kayak? I'll tell you in three words: It is portable. It's really not much larger than a medium-sized suitcase.
You could argue the hard-shell kayak is portable as well, and you are right. Even So, a hard-shell kayak is not nearly as easy to bring with you as an inflatable kayak. While a hard-shell often needs to be strapped to the roof of a car, an inflatable can stay in the trunk.
Consider what that can do for precious time and flexibility! Personally, I want the boring parts of life to be as easy as possible, and the steps involved in transporting a kayak to and from the water does not add much joy.
The common procedure for taking a kayak from home to the ocean involves assembling luggage-rack, carrying and strapping. You have to do this all over again when returning. I know, not the end of the world, but I rather not do it.
I try to focus on doing more of the things I like and less of the rest yep I do pay tax). Sunny outside? I dress, jump into the car and go paddling, almost too easy.
Another good reason to buy or try an inflatable kayak is its lower price. As with traditional hard-shell kayaks there are many models to choose from. You can choose from solo or tandem kayaks, river or sea the choice is yours.
