Thanks for this video. It makes me confident that it’s a good idea to try rolls with my own.

Thanks for the video! Thinking of buying one so it was very helpful to watch 👌🏼 liked & subscribed.

Truly excellent video, David! Really interesting to see how your modifications and skill allow for this level of management of the boat. Thanks for sharing (and also nice to see you skin-on-frame kayak up close - it's a beauty)!

Great video David and great to see you're enjoying the boat, like your idea with them foam blocks at the side of the seat...
I never had a chance to roll it as the spray skirt wasn't a tight fit and I couldn't find a decent one that fit, but obviously you did.
Yes as you said in the video she's pretty easy to get back into from the back.
So funny you saying you wanted this boat for your Scotland trip. As I did not want to take the x500 to Scotland and that's why I wanted the PakAyaK.

Excellent, really useful, thanks David

great video. in future i hope to see a review for Advanced Elements Airfusion Evo . I speculate you will like it even more. Greetings from Dublin

Great review, every day is a school! Ever thought about treatment for your collecting habit! 😂

Thanks for the vidéo. I have been looking at the itiwit x500 2 place version and thanks to Google, your vidéo popped up on the screen. With a price of 1250 euros new, i’m obviously keen to buy with as much knowledge as possible. The handling of the bigger version is bound to be différent but i can see the quality is there. At 528cms, it’s a bit of a long one.
I have little expérience with kayaks but a lot with boats and the sea and the objective is to have something secure and reliable to explore the islands around northern Brittany. I think your vidéo has convinced me that it’s a good buy. The alternative is to buy two 1 place x500 but with the two place, i can go out and i’ve got the place to put my fishing rods😊

Very interesting indeed. I've noticed an annoying tendency for my X500's seat to pop off its mounting points and float, whereupon the whole thing can pop out, which is a right pain in the backside to fix from in the water. Those big blocks of foam look like they should prevent that.

Thanks for testing the boat for o fus all that are interested in it.
One idea about the strap: maybe you could use something with a quick-release system like the strap on whitewater personal floating devices that hold very reliably but are completely released with one tug on the very visible cord even if the person using it is panicking a little... Then you could maybe tie in a bit tighter to support rolling and bracing more and still fell save enough and confident that you could get out in case you need to...

Great video! I am a bit hesitant in strapping myself into a boat like that. Do you think same could be achieved by attaching foam thigh braces?
|
It would be better to rig a lap belt as used in a wave ski with a quick release buckle and pull toggle ball. I used something similar when I first got into surfskis to enable thigh control and rolling in an open cockpit. I added neoprene to the 2” webbing for comfort where it connects to the thighs.

Very helpful video, thank you! I've tried to roll it inside a pool environment but failed due to the top deck flexing too much. Do you know where I might be able to find the D-rings that were attached to the boat?
|
Hi David, thank you for a very comprehensive look at the X500. I am going to make similar modifications. Where did you get your foam blocks and what size did you buy? Thanks.
|
Interesting review. I wonder how durable it is?
If you cut a corner too tight and clip a rock, will it puncture easily?
If it does puncture, are there multiple air chambers, or will it totally deflate?
|
David - thanks for posting the video. I'm interested in an inflatable for travel, and because I'm getting too old to put a rigid kayak on my car's roof rack. Could you comment on the maintenance in terms of cleaning and drying the boat after use. Thanks.
