I've owned a Pacific Extreme Inflatable Kayak for several years now. I've tried two cut-rate brand inflatable kayaks (lower end Sevylor & a No-Name brand). In both of those cases, the spiny dorsal fins of large striped bass just made Swiss cheese out of the bladders for the cheaper kayaks. It's never been a problem with my Pacific Extreme…

There are a whole slew of reasons. At least a dozen. Some I can recall just now are.

But because the air escaping from under the skirt causes a lot of…
