Thanks to a partnership with Durango-based Gravity Play Sports, Colorado’s loyal community of adventure racers already has firsthand experience with Zoik Inflatables.
The producers of the local Adventure Xstream series races provide a fleet of Zoik (pronounced zoe-ik) inflatable kayaks to competitors during paddling portions of the multi-sport events. Reason being, the lightweight, stable design of whitewater-worthy, self-bailing PVC inflatables like Zoik’s AlterEgo II tandem kayak (MSRP: $660) has proved well-suited to the varying skill levels of endurance-oriented athletes who otherwise might not make paddling a priority.
Those less interested in testing their mettle against the masses in race format will find the Colorado-born Zoik Inflatables equally family-friendly for outings on local lakes and mild river adventures. Weighing less than 38 pounds and rolling up to stuff size in a large duffle bag, the 12-foot, 3-inch AlterEgo II is capable of carrying up to 450 pounds while remaining both travel and storage friendly. Multiple air chambers and a three- year warranty offer additional peace of mind.
