The Intex Challenger K2 Kayak is sporty and fun and offers easy paddling. It's a great inflatable kayak for experiencing lakes and mild rivers.

Capacity: 2 person kayak

ITIWIT inflatable touring kayak 1/2 places

The ITIWIT inflatable touring kayak is a good quality inflatable kayak for leisure use. It is suitable for up to 2 people.

The kayak weighs 14kgs, is 3.40m long and just over 1m wide. It is made of 3 main bladders, 1 for each side and 1 for the wide floor. This setup improves the kayak’s stability. There are 2 other bits to inflate, which are the seats. Once inflated the seats are very comfortable and add height to the seating position, improving the paddling experience.

All these inflatable bladders are protected by a tough looking, water-repellent canvas which can be unzipped (or detached from the velcro attachment). This allows access to the bladders so they can be taken out for repair or replacement. On the sides, there are some printed instruction again to remind you of the pressure you need in the bladders.

Like other Decathlon products, this kayak doesn't come with a pump or paddles and has a higher price tag than the Explorer K2 for instance. However for its built quality and Decathlon customer service it should be a strong contender in your inflatable kayak list.

Best cheap inflatable paddle boards for beginners

Since the spring of 2020, budget inflatable paddle boards for beginners and intermediates have seen their demand increase rapidly. This correlates with SUP popularity which grew massively in the UK, thanks in parts to multiple lockdown restrictions and glorious weather. There is a larger range of inflatable paddle boards now than ever before. They come in numerous shapes, sizes and of course prices. This page is focusing on some of the best budget inflatable SUP boards currently available for beginners and intermediates. If you are after mid-range or high end stand up paddle board (SUP), please refer to our top 10 best inflatable SUP boards.

Some of the best cheap inflatable paddle boards

Aquaplanet MAX- one of the best budget inflatable boards out there

Cheap inflatable SUP boards

If you're looking for a budget or cheap inflatable paddle board, the main thing to look for when starting out is the size of the paddle board. Generally speaking, the larger the board, the more stable and buoyant it is. The shape is important too, a wider paddle board will offer more stability than a longer and thinner one.

As an example, the Aquaplanet MAX and the Aquaplanet PACE have identical overall sizes but the shape of the PACE is slightly "thinner" than the MAX. Because of the more elongated shape, the PACE will glide faster than the MAX but will offer less stability. It's also worth keeping an eye on the board max payload; especially if you anticipate taking a kid or a four-legged friend on the board with you.

If you are quite new to paddle boarding and you want to buy your first board on a budget, the list above is a good starting point. These boards are part of the best selling inflatable paddle boards on Amazon UK (as of Feb 1st 2021). And for the price tag, they are really good indeed. They'll let you embark on your paddle boarding journey at relatively low cost.

All the paddle boards listed above come with a full kit that usually includes: leash, fin(s) paddle, carry bag, pump. Some package include a dry bag for instance. Other kits get you small extras like a small repair kit or a water resistant phone pouch. Some even come with a kayak seat like the Funwater inflatable stand up paddle board, the Aquaplanet Rockit BLU or the Aquaplanet Rockit PNK. In any case, and if budget allows, we highly recommend getting a good quality electric pump for inflatable sup boards.

Are cheap inflatable paddle boards any good?

Cheap inflatable sup boards are as good as what you expect of them. If you don't intend to use your board for hours many times a year, a cheap board will do the job.

Cheap paddle boards are usually lighter as they use less material for their construction, which is great for transportation.

On the other hand however, less material means less quality and usually less pressure for the board. Overtime the board might bend to a banana shape which is not the greatest to ride.

Cheaper inflatable sup boards usually don't come with the perks of high end products. They might not have good warranty (or no warranty at all), no customer support, poor design quality.

But if you plan to use your board only a few times a year for short periods of time, a budget paddle board would be perfectly suitable as the low price would then be one of the important decision factor.

Inflatable tents became popular some years ago now when Heimplanet first introduced The Cave (picture below). With its striking design and rigidity, The Cave opened the way to many other manufacturers to look into the air tent technology. This doesn't mean The Cave is the best inflatable tent but it certainly was a trigger for other companies to develop their own. There are now many manufacturers providing great air tents at various prices and sizes. This includes Vango, Berghaus, Decathlon's own Quechua, Outwell, Coleman etc...

Why inflatable tents?

Inflatable tents are a very interesting alternative to traditional tents. They are VERY practical! Even the bigger inflatable family tents can usually be erected by only one person in a very short time. And that's the main reason why they are increasingly popular. You can't be in a campsite these days without being surrounded by inflatable tents. Over the last few years, the technology has evolved a lot. They are sturdier than ever and come in a large selection of sizes and shapes with various features. You should be able to find a suitable inflatable tent for your family size and your budget quite easily considering the quantity of options available. Their main drawbacks are usually their price and weight. But if you're after a good quality tent and are planning to stay in one sport, they are worth it.

Which family inflatable tent to go for?

This will mainly depend on the size your require and the budget you have. Decathlon have recently broaden their inflatable tent range and are now selling 3 man inflatable tents starting from less £139.99. A 3 man tent is obviously not suitable for average families but it shows the price range starts really low. For a 4 man tent, Decathlon have an option starting at £159.99. Their best seller... You wonder why! Absolute bargain for an inflatable of that size and quality. They are amazing inflatable tents in that price bracket.

If you are a more serious camper and you're after a company you know and trust, Vango or Berghaus are always a good option. They have been experts in their fields for decades and build reliable large family tents with vast amounts of internal space. The Vango AirBeam range has won many awards over the years! Camping Magazine chose the Inspire 600 as it is a fantastic tent for those who require a great internal living area combined with a spacious covered external space. In reality, the design and built quality apply to the whole range of Vango Airbeam Tents. The Vango Airbeam tents have been our best sellers year on year.

When you visit family campsites nowadays, there are mainly 3 brands of inflatable tents that are always present on site. Vango, Coleman and Berghaus. They are not the cheapest but judging by their popularity, they certainly have their appeal.

There are also other inflatable tents available to consider, like the ever growing Quechua Air Seconds range (Decathlon), Neumayer or Easycamp inflatable tents.

Are inflatable tents wind resistant?

The best inflatable tents on the market go through rigorous tests as you can see in the video below.

Vango pushed their testings to the extreme by sending one of their inflatable tent into space!

Some of the best inflatable family tents for camping in more details

Vango inflatable tents

Back in 2011, Vango launched their AirBeam range of inflatable tents and many campers didn't believe it would catch on. Many thought it was just a passing trend. Sure at first campers were apprehensive of this new technology. What if it deflates during the night? Will it puncture easily? What will happen on windy days? Lots of questions were raised about the quality, durability and sturdiness of these inflatable tents. But apart from the "puncture" aspect, all these questions are also valid for traditional tents...

Nowadays, it's harder and harder to find tents on campsites that are still using "traditional" poles. Indeed most tents are now inflatable tents. They are basically becoming the new traditional tents. It is very understandable to see the appeal of these tents considering how convenient they are. Most of them can be erected by only one person in a very short amount of time, even for larger family tents. Vango were amongst the pioneers working on this technology and they are now one the main brand manufacturing (and still developing) some of the best inflatable tent on the market.

Coleman FastPitch Air Valdes Inflatable Tent

Contrary to Vango, Coleman were not by any means pioneers in developing inflatable tents! In fact, the Valdes FastPitch range is their first ever! But what a inflatable tent it is! As most air tents on the market, it is very easy to pitch, only taking a few minutes. Where Coleman hit their competition hard, is on the quality of the bedrooms. Indeed they come with a very handy blackout technology blocking up to 99% of daylight from the bedrooms. Ideal for parents or anyone who is sensitive to daylight. To add to this, they created very large bedrooms that is really appreciated by families and provides more comfort. Oh, and it comes with a hinged door! All in all, it is a very thought through and put together family tent. Maybe their first, but a massive success!

The Coleman FastPitch Air Valdes inflatable tent comes in 4 different sizes: the Valdes 4 (sleeps 4), the Valdes 6 (sleeps 6), the Valdes 6L (sleeps 6 with bigger living space), the Valdes 6XL (even bigger living space).

Berghaus inflatable tents

The Berghaus range of inflatable family tents goes from a 4 person tent all the way through to a much larger 8 person tent with lots of living space, the Air 8. These Berghaus tents get an amazing amount of great reviews on camping forums. Some reviews claiming they put their Air tent up on their own in less than 2min 30s! It deflates even quicker at the touch of a button. It comes with a double efficiency pump making inflation easy, and the pre-attached bedroom making pitching time even quicker.

The Berghaus Air tents use high-quality TPU beams offering superb strength. The whole range comes with a fully seam taped flysheet and groundsheet increase durability and keep out water. The high-performance tent features extra-large windows with curtains to shut out light, and mesh doors on the inner bedroom for extra privacy. It has rainhood above side door and boasts excellent head room!

See below some of the best electric pumps for your inflatable paddle boards (iSUPs). They also work with inflatable kayaks, inflatable tents and other inflatable products.

Some of the best electric pumps for your inflatable paddle boards

Why get an electric pump for your inflatable SUP board?

You’ve recently bought one of the best inflatable paddle boards or a cheap inflatable paddle board for beginners and joined the ever growing community of stand up paddle boarders. Congratulations! You’re enjoying the calm and serenity this activity provides. You’re making the most of the outdoors and enjoy the most of what the UK has to offer on your doorstep. Invaluable stress-free time is particularly important these days. So, you pack your paddle boards in the car, along with all the safety gear and wetsuits, and drive to your favourite spot to enjoy a few hours of peace.

But, before the fun can begin, the dreaded time to manually inflate the boards arrives. A few minutes feel like hours when your manual pump only indicates 3psi and your arms already feel like rocks. You panic, the gauge is broken, the board feels hard, it is ready! It is NOT! You still have to pump more to reach the 15psi, 17psi or 20psi (sometimes even more) recommended by your board manufacturer. And that’s only for one board! One is hard enough to inflate, now what if you have 2 or 3 to inflate before heading out? That’s it, it’s time to give up and get an electric pump! Let the pump do this tenuous task whilst you get ready. See below our hand-picked list of some of the best electric pumps for inflatable standup paddle boards you can get your hands on in the UK.

Outdoor Master The Whale 16psi rechargeable and portable SUP pump

Battery powered, rechargeable and portable
Up to 16psi for 2 boards in a row
