Air Kayak 16 Features & Innovations

The Air Kayak 16 packs some serious fun into a portable package. This kayak is made with drop-stitch construction which gives it a very solid feel. It will feel firm under foot and has much less drag than a typical inflatable kayak. Used as a rowing boat, this 16 foot kayak can take up to three people for a relaxing paddle when you don’t want to row. We sell a number of kayak paddles that pair nicely with this boat.

Rowonair Air Kayak Solid Bow and Stern Image

Solid Bow and Stern

Solid plastic bow and stern caps provide the ultimate collision protection. The Air Kayak is capable of tackling some light white-water when you aren’t out rowing.

Rowonair Air Kayak Backpack Image

Backpack with Wheels Storage Bag

High quality backpack with luggage style wheels are perfect for moving and storing the Air Kayak as well as transporting the boat as checked luggage.

Rowonair Air Kayak Air Pump Image

Rapid-style Air Pump

The included high quality hand pump can pump up the Air Kayak 16 in less than 10 minutes. Built in gauge adds assurance that the proper pressure has been reached.

Rowonair Air Kayak High Sides Image

High Sides for Safety

The higher walls of this boat are great for bringing a young or furry friend along to enjoy a row. These sides will also keep gear dry(er) in choppy conditions. It would still be wise to store any important gear in a dry bag.

Rowonair Air Kayak Material Image

Woven-Fusion Drop Stitch Materials

This special construction method was pioneered by the ROWonAIR team. They needed a material that could withstand high pressures, provide more rigidity than normal drop stitch, and weigh as little as possible.

Rowonair Air Kayak Adjustable Seat Image

Multi-Sport Functionality

The Air Kayak 16 is primarily sold as a rowing shell for use with the ROWonAIR Universal Rowing Unit, but has an added bonus. Add some paddles and install the included kayak seats and the Air Kayak becomes a family kayak for exploration!
