INTERMEDIATE TOURING INFLATABLE KAYAK X500 1P / 2P
2018
With the help of a naval architect, we designed this inflatable kayak for intermediate kayakers. Tour all day long at sea or on a calm lake or river.
A rigid kayak that fits in a backpack (or a wheeled bag for the 2P), is that even possible? It is now! Powerful, lightweight, sturdy and easy to inflate: with the x500 kayak, you can paddle long distances all year round!
And to help make it last as long as possible, you can find our solutions and tips on how to use, maintain and repair it here.
Set-up advice, getting started, user guides, spare parts, repairing at home or at the Decathlon workshop, reselling, etc. Follow the guide!

Maintaining your canoe or kayak
to make it last
There's no secret to making your canoe or kayak last: you just have to look after it properly. Two quick and easy tips to help you enjoy it for longer:
Maintaining your canoe or kayak
During your days at the beach, it's best to leave it somewhere in the shade to protect it from the heat and the sun.
After each use, rinse your kayak with cold water to protect it from salt and sand.

Storing your canoe or kayak
Not going to be using your canoe/kayak for a few days? It’s best to store it in a dry and ventilated place.
Do not store your canoe/kayak inflated as it will eventually deflate. The best way to store it over winter is to dry it thoroughly and pack it away in its bag.
Repairing your canoe or kayak
Your canoe/kayak is hard-wearing but it is still inflatable. And if you notice a leak or signs of wear on the valve, it doesn't mean it's time to throw it away! Read on for some simple ways you can repair it and make it last.
