Comments about Walker Bay Airis Play 8 Inflatable Kayak:

I love how the flat bottom causes the boat to just skim across the water; when surfing it planes easily allowing for much better play performance. And I love the short length and the bow shape - it is so much fun to side surf, do spins, carve on nice waves... Definitely a better play boat than my Aire Force. The Play 8 feels a lot like a hardshell, but is lighter weight and more easily transported / stored. The low sides also make it super easy to re-enter in mid-stream if you happen to flip. I've added a back band from a hardshell kayak and thigh straps. This gives a much more secure feel and better control in whitewater. I also cut the skeg off so that it wouldn't hang up on rocks.
