Intriguing concept. Kayak/SUP hybrid, not just an SUP with a seat. To me the (relative) ease of inflating an SUP vs. an inflatable kayak is a big difference. I wonder how this compares to both. Although I do like taking breaks and relaxing while dangling my feet in the water on the SUP, which this would prevent as comfortably.
If it's even remotely close to the BOTE Kayak/SUP this is worth the price tag. I like my BOTE and it's great as a Kayak and at 12ft can fit two people as a SUP.
62lbs? That's as heavy or heavier than many hard shell kayaks. Less than glowing comments on YT users. Wind will effect this much more than a inflatable kayak since it's side are high. A paddle board is much less effected by wind and one can still use a stadium seat to give one the best of both sitting and standing. That seat with 3 separate valve fill chambers is hokey design.

That is why I bought it. Bote is too expensive for me.

You are all over the place here with your comparisons. This kayak is 11feet long unlike other lighter inflatable kayaks made out of PVC heavy duty material and can be stored in a trunk of a car. If you mount it on top it won't want to fold in half at highway speeds either. It's high sides are not much higher then traditional kayaks and because it's made out of PVC steers the same. Also better than traditional inflatable kayaks due to being more ridgid and not having to be so wide or have wide inflated balisters for sides. Which makes rowing allot easier.

I have used inflatables for 20+ years and have a small fleet (addiction..lol) from Aire, Advanced Elements, Aquaglide, Saturn, etc. and 3 paddle boards and 2 hard shell kayaks. 90% of inflatable kayaks are made of PVC. Nowhere do I read their kayak is of a heavier quality like a RMR or Saturn white water kayak or raft. I have 11' and two 13' inflatables and of course they can be stored in trunk or anywhere. One can carry a inflated paddle board on top if some air is let out to avoid heat expansion which can and does blow a seam. Rowing? Dude/dudette, it's paddling.

Yeah not quite, if he owned so many inflatables then he should know that these new inflatable SUP kayaks are not the same as your grandads inflatable. I'm using PVC as a standard reference to plastic material same when saying rowing, in regular speech everyone knows that i'm not refering to Oxfords University or Summer Olympics sport of rowing. So sorry that i'm not using the correct word....paddling. Back to my original point. A SUP is not made out of the same material as Saturn or the walmart $10 special inflatable boat. Theres a reason a SUP can be a flat board and not buckle under a persons weight when on the water. So why is it so hard to understand that a SUP/Kayak hybrid can be made out of the same material? Because it's easier to be pedantic and focus on someones use of rowing instead of paddling and material such as PVC instead of well it's reinforced PVC that is multi layered and glued together to provide a stronger core, but it's all still PVC.

The inflated weight is the weight of the kayak with air in it.
