The Laxo 285, the nimble 2.8m entry-level inflatable kayak!
Grab your bag and hit the water in the heavy-duty and stylish Laxo 285 from Aqua Marina. This compact and portable kayak has been enhanced with Aqua Marina's Aquashell™ Technology, a stylish, revolutionary protective hull fabric, that boasts long-lasting digital graphics! The Laxo provides fantastic stability and tracking ready for you to head out and explore lakes and rivers. The Laxo is perfect for novice adventurers on shorter trips and ideal for those looking for an easy entry and exit into their watercraft.
Perfect for kids and beginner paddlers
The 285 can carry up to 95kgs (including the paddler) which makes this one a perfect choice for kids or lighter paddlers who are under 190 cms. There is room behind the seat for items such as drybags and storage pockets for smaller items built into the padded high back seat. Whether you're packing snacks or spare clothing, you'll have ample space to keep everything secure and within reach.
Effortless Transport and Comfort
The Laxo 285 is equipped with front and rear carry handles allowing you to move your kayak to and from the water with ease. It also comes with a premium highback EVA cushioned seat and the adjustable D-buckle system allows you to fine-tune the seat position via the seat straps and velcro. Simply clip them in and personalise your seating position just the way you like it. The backrests of the seats also contain storage pockets for storage of smaller items such as keys, a phone or a convenient place to attach a drybag.
Easy Setup and portable at only 12kgs!
Weighing in at only 12kgs, the Laxo 285 is easy to transport via the kit carry bag making it a great addition to a day on the dam, your next camping trip or added to the caravan. Whatever trip you are planning, your kayak will always be ready to pop in the car and go. Once you are at your launch location, inflation is quick and easy via the 3 inflation valves (2 air chambers on either side and 1 for the floor). Simply connect the supplied foot pump via the Boston valves inside the kayak and inflate. Spend less time setting up and more time on the water.
Exceptional Tracking
The two-center fin system provides excellent straight-line tracking, allowing you to glide effortlessly through the water enjoying a smooth and stable ride, no matter the conditions. The 285 is a fantastic entry level kayak at a great price but it does lack a drop stitch floor. If you are after an inflatable that is incredibly rigid with performance closer to that of a hardshell, check out our range of drop stitch kayaks.
Can you fish from this kayak?
Perfect for the caravan, boot or rooftop this amazing space-saving inflatable kayak is suited to the casual angler looking for a kayak for fishing that doubles as a comfortable recreational paddle. It doesn't contain rod holders so you will be restricted to maybe one rod as you will need to place this one in your lap or between your legs. If you are after an inflatable that can cater for fishing, check out the Caliber 398, the Drift Fishing SUP or the amazing Advanced Elements Straitedge Angler Pro
