Tucktec Folding KayaksReviews of foldupkayaks.com

Brand new #Tucktec just received last week. Took it out for its maiden voyage over Memorial Day weekend and had a blast. It truly is the best money I’ve spent on a “leisure” item. It has all the portability of an inflatable with all the durability of a hard shell kayak. If you’ve been looking at a portable easy to haul kayak, look no further. Took my 5 month old pup out with me and I felt confident that we would have no issues. It also makes a great conversation piece. I had no fewer than 6 different groups of people stop me to ask about my kayak. I’m already saving up to buy two more for the rest of the family. I haven’t had to contact their customer service yet but they have an active official Facebook group and everyone there says the service is great.

Customer service has been incredibly fast and helpful, and the kayak itself is amazing! I took mine on its maiden voyage down some rapids with no issues whatsoever. It felt perfectly secure and sturdy, even when I tried rolling it over and when I got stuck on a boulder lol. So far I love my #Tucktec :)

Being 53 and out of shape I can put this in og ether and carry it! Great product!

#tucktec kayaks are awesome! I bought mine about two months ago and have been anxiously waiting for my first kayaking trip! Finally arrived on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend everything was perfect except for the seat back just wouldn’t stay up this made paddling a bear on the lake but I had a wonderful time anyways! Thank you #Tucktec!

I used my friends Tucktec for a year before receiving one of my own. My family saved and surprised me for Mother's Day and we ordered and received it just in time for Memorial Weekend. I love that I can load it on my own and carry it on one shoulder. I love being on the water and the Tucktec has given me the freedom I needed. #Tucktec

Got my 2023 8’ kayak #Tucktec as a birthday surprise. Have been out paddling a few times and it’s been a great experience. Looking forward to warmer weather and more adventures. Been learning how to manage and store it as I live in a high rise building. Give it a try!

About a year ago I saw some foldable kayaks thinking they'd be great for me because of the type of car I have. (No racks for me 😔) early this year I came upon #Tucktec and bit the bullet and bought one. And I finally got to take her out this past memorial day. Was not disappointed. Super easy to assemble (in the right weather) No leaks or issues. Great conversation piece to other kayakers. ( hopefully I make a new Kayaking buddy) This company is amazing! They actually seem to care, which is rare.

I purchased my Tucktec in mid 2020, and while there was a delay at the time due to the pandemic, they were always good about keeping everybody up to date with expected delivery. I've been kayaking for 35 years, mostly still water and some ocean camping/kayaking trips. These kayaks are great for the majority of paddling I do in the Erie Canal near home, the beautiful finger lakes of New York, and various streams and rivers. I have 2 rigid plastic kayaks I've used for years, but sometimes I decided not to go paddling because of the hassle of having to put it up on the roof and tie it down safely. With the tucktec, I can easily just throw it in the back of my car and be out on the water in minutes. While I've never had any kayaks fly off the roof, I have 2 different friends that had unexpected flying kayak syndrome when they weren't tied down properly at highway speeds. That's never a concern with these. I can fold the kayak in about 2 minutes if I'm trying to impress somebody, but at normal speeds it's under 5 minutes. Much quicker than dealing with the roof mount. The plastic is stronger and thicker than another popular folding kayak, I have a friend with another brand that has had puncture issues when paddling in areas with rocks. I can't image the tucktec ever having a puncture due to rocks and other debris. In my 2020 version, the comfort of the seat is the main complaint I have, but Tucktec has constantly improved the product and from what I've heard the seat and foot rests are much better than the earlier product I have. The kayak is very sturdy, and I've never felt like it would tip at all. Due to the length and materials, it may not paddle as fast as others, but it probably holds it's own against other 10ft kayaks. If you mostly paddle water without swells and waves, and don't want to deal with tying a kayak on your roof, this is a great option. I've been happy with it for over 2.5 years now. #Tucktec
