Inflatable KayakS
Getting on the water has never been easier.
Airis, the “Kayak in a Bag” Introducing Airis™, a new revolutionary line of inflatable kayaks by Walker Bay®. For over 10 years, Walker Bay has been on the leading edge of design and technology in recreational water products. With over half a dozen awards for product design and innovation, Walker Bay continues to raise the bar in performance and fun on the water. New and innovative, Walker Bay’s line of Airis Kayaks are the lightest, most compact high-pressure inflatable kayaks in the world. Providing rigidity and durability through AirWeb™ High Pressure Construction (patent pending), Airis Kayaks are tear and abrasion resistant, quick to inflate, simple to use and so portable, they roll up to fit inside their own backpack (included). Now you can take fun with you wherever you go!
Portable Fun That’s Ready In Minutes
Lightweight & Compact Experience the freedom and high performance fun of kayaking, without the burden of an awkward hard shell kayak. Every Airis Inflatable Kayak comes with a custom AirPack™ backpack. Lightweight and easy to carry, the AirPack has comfortable padded shoulder straps and two sets of gear straps for your paddle and air pump. Constructed from rip-stop nylon and mesh fabric, the AirPack is durable and breathable, allowing your kayak to dry better while stowed.
Quick & Easy Setup Preparing an Airis for launch is a quick and simple process. Unpack and unroll it on a flat surface, use the dual action high-pressure pump and gauge (included) to inflate, and the kayak is ready in minutes. Best of all, an Airis Kayak is so light, a single person can safely and easily maneuver it from dry land to the water with minimal effort.
No Experience Required
surface coating binder layer fabric
drop-stitch fibers
Incredibly Rigid & Stable Airis Inflatable Kayaks are made using AirWeb™ High Pressure Construction (patent pending), formed from a heavy duty, seven layer polymer coated fabric that is joined inside by thousands of drop-stitch fibers. AirWeb makes it possible to inflate Airis Kayaks to more than 6.5 PSI or 0.45 bar, up to six times the maximum air pressure of other inflatable kayaks! This creates a hull that is incredibly rigid and durable without the use of complicated frame parts, and keeps the assembly of Airis Kayaks quick and simple. AirWeb technology may make it seem like Airis Kayaks are for experts only, but many beginner kayakers find Airis much easier, and more comfortable to use than a traditional hard-shell kayak. In fact, an Airis is so easy to get in and out of, that playing in the water or going for a swim or snorkel during your paddle, becomes part of the fun.
Fun for Everyone The Airis Play is amazingly lightweight, extremely stable and so quick to set-up so you’ll be on the water in no time. The shorter length of the Play makes it easy to maneuver whether you are exploring coves, or tackling whitewater, while the shape of the hull provides incredible stability and comfort. A fun, fast way to get on the water, Play is the perfect recreational kayak.
