Comments about Bare Bare Kayak:

The product came with no manual or instructions for inflation. I attempted to reteive inflation instuctions from the supplier but neither the salesman nor the BARE factory representative at customer service knew anything about this kayak sold by them. 4/4/2010, I used both of my BARE kayaks and my Sevylor canoe for a shore lanuched dive off Sand Key Beach, FL. While filling one of the BARE kayaks its bladder blew up into itself, where the multiple air cells inside popped free, even after only having using it for the second time. We tried to use it anyway but the kayak air bladder popped into a V shape center right on the beach head making it impossible to use. The dive was destroyed and I am stuck with a unseable watercraft, not to mention that my who party looked like fools having to lug the kayak back to the van after just bringing it out there to shore some 400+ yards. Be careful of this purchase and consider a Sevylor instead. My Sevylor has had multiple runs and trips to the Florida Keys and still holding up just fine.
