Great idea, lousy execution. Don't buy if you're going to use it.
I bought this mid-June this year. I didn't buy the extended warranty because at the time, I thought I was buying a product that would at least last the Summer. I inflate it exactly as directed, and verify using a tape measure against the 10cm line on both chambers. I take it out in a lake about twice a week, no more. There are no rocks or sticks to abraid it. When I bring it home, I dry it out thoroughly before storing it. Honestly, there is not much more that can be done to take care of this. And this morning on my paddle, the bottom chamber lost 1cm of air pressure while I was on the lake. I would like to think it's a one-off except: A K2 double that I bought last year and used for 6 weeks in the fall, and then another 6 weeks in the early summer, also developed a mysterious leak--I thought THAT was a one-off. Then, another K1 that I bought for a friend a few weeks ago, ALSO developed a mysterious leak. That one expired during the 30-day period (which was convenient) and I had bought an extended warranty for it as well. But the bottom line is that I've had three (3) Intex inflatable kayaks--all under a year old, some only a few weeks in my possession--die on me in the last 6 weeks and I'm not going to buy another from this company.
