Rated 5 out of 5

Awesome kayak for exploring

The Star Paragon XL is awesome!! Other kayaks I've tried were to small (I am 6'), I really like the adjustable feet supports with the Paragon. It was easy to set-up and take down, clean-up was a breeze. It's a little heavy but not bad. I might not needed the XL but I like the extra weight capacity if I want more gear to go exploring. Will look at getting a cushier seat for those times I spend most of the day on the water. I've not had it long but it seems to be very well constructed. Getting it for 45% off made it a screaming deal.

great kayak, pump issues

This kayak handles well for being an inflatable. Sable and tracks relatively straight. It's a bit of a challenge to roll up and get back into the bag, but is doable with practice and watching the video. We bought a pair, and one of the pumps continues to have problems with the pressure gauge even after trying a number of things recommended by customer service

Great product

I have used sit on top rigid boats for years. I really enjoy this new boat setup takes less than 10 minutes. The boat is easy to use on the water, we mostly float small rivers and lakes here in western Wyoming and this boat is perfect for that!

Paddles Great - Doesn't Slice through Waves

Great touring IK, very rigid, tracks fine, very compact, and doesn't require extra charges as checked baggage. Only negative is when waves get over 6" the bow doesn't cleave the waves; it staggers a little, rises, and then slaps down. Added the Pike IK Chair for dryer, more comfortable ride.

Great boat, defective seat

The boat itself it sturdy and well-made. It paddles in a straight line very nicely without the skeg installed. I've paddled it down a river with some class 1 riffles and it handled it very nicely. I've taken it on Humboldt Bay on a choppy day and it felt very stable. My only gripe is with the fabric seat. The stitching on one of the seat stays came undone and it just fell off. This happened the first time I took the boat out. Fortunately I have some connections to people with industrial sewing machines and was able to get it fixed for free. If y'all at NRS read these reviews, I'm gonna recommend you box-tack those things in place so they're less likely to come undone.

I have used sit on top rigid boats for years. I really enjoy this new boat setup takes less than 10 minutes. The boat is easy to use on the water, we mostly float small rivers and lakes here in western Wyoming and this boat is perfect for that!

Immerse yourself in the innovation of the NRS Star Paragon XL Inflatable Kayak. This radiant red beast boasts 16 additional inches (40.6cm) of length, offering you the impressive hauling capacity for those extended flatwater tours. Equipped with the tracking and efficiency to rival a hard-shell boat, it delivers a performance second to none.

Discover the transformative drop-stitch PVC floor insert. This innovative component, crafted from tens of thousands of fine threads, inflates to deliver the rigidity of a hard-shell kayak, enhancing your paddling stability and comfort. Yet, it packs down effortlessly for easy transportation and storage - the convenience of an inflatable married with the hard-shell performance!

Our advanced process involves interweaving two pieces of polyester fabric, creating an incredibly strong unit that forms the basis of this kayak. Coated for air-tightness, our durable polyester construction means this unit can withstand pressures of up to 20 psi (1.48 bars). Indeed, the Star Paragon XL is truly the epitome of NRS innovation.

Superior longevity, abrasion resistance, and air retention are guaranteed as the kayak is crafted with advanced-formula PVC material, utilizing cutting-edge seam welding technology. Not only does this offer excellent value, but it also ushers in a new era of inflatable kayaking, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the water.

Flatwater touring is optimized with our bow and stern rigid keel inserts, ensuring outstanding tracking and stability. The high-back kayak seat is adjustable, as are the foot braces, enabling you to customize your kayak for optimal comfort and control. Also, with bungee deck rigging and splash covers, your gear is always secure and accessible.

Lightweight at 48 lbs. (21.8 kg) when empty and easy to carry with bow and stern handles, the NRS Star Paragon XL measures 13' 6" x 36" (401.25cm x 91.4cm). Its three-chamber design and Leafield C7 valves ensure safe and hassle-free inflation and deflation.
