Tobin Sports Breakwater Pro X1 Inflatable Kayak First Impressions

Here's my first impressions of the Tobin Breakwater Pro X1 inflatable Kayak.

It's on sale at Costco at the time of this posting for $400. Picked one up from Costco for $450; then they lowered the price to $350 (!); then back up to $400.

Didn't see any reviews so posting my first impressions here to help you decide if you're thinking about getting one.

One potential issue is the floor may be hard to repair if water were to leak in through the seams. The other is the footrest only supporting your heels making it harder to stabilize. Added a bungie to hold them up: https://imgur.com/gallery/pedal-modification-tobin-sports-breakwater-pro-x1-kayak-UI9hzJq

Overall if you’re considering a 393rl and don’t use it that often it's a reasonable alternative for less than half the price.

Here's a video of me paddling it around the local pond with no commentary: https://rumble.com/v6tbxjj-paddling-the-tobin-sports-breakwater-pro-x1-kayak-no-commentary.html
