"LOVE THE ZEPPELIN"

Just received and tried out our Zeppelin. Have had it out three times this winter so far. Fantastic~ cannot say enough. Well made-rugged construction. My husband, myself our 75#dog went out into choppy waters on the lake to test it out. Stable - no listing even when the dog went crazy for the geese- tracked really well (both tandem and single), glides nicely and assembled in 10 min- although the hand pump is a bit difficult for me (but not impossible) as you reach the recommended PSI so we just invested in the electric pump. Just thrilled!!! Went down the gauntlet of inflatables. So happy to have this model and look forward to a great season. Have some great pictures showing the room -even with our 75# dog. Although the bottom is quite rigid and appears very durable- we put down a thick yoga mat for the dog- to protect the rigid bottom from the dog and also so she knows to stay on her mat. So much room for all of us. Cannot wait for spring and flat glacial lakes.

"GREAT KAYAK"

Took the Zeppelin out for the first time today and was surprised at the stability and weight capacity of the kayak. I am 6’4, 280lbs and had no trouble paddling around. Not once did I feel like I was going to tip over like I did on my wife’s inflatable. Just to test out how it handled two people, my wife jumped on the front and we paddled around never worrying about stability or weight..

After start up problems, great!

After initial leaking problems due to not tightening the valve enough., the kayak is great. Very sturdy and comfortable. Can even be used as a SUP. Too heavy to carry on your own though. The transport bag with wheels doesn’t help much in sand. Just picked up a second seat.

Zeppelin Aero

The lakes around me are still frozen. So I haven’t had a chance to real world test it. I did blow it up in my yard and checked it all out. The packaging is great and build quality is also great!

Have had this boat out about 5 times and it's amazing. Traks really straight for and inflatable with the included center fin. I can easy stand and fish wether that be teadional rod and reel or fly fishing. Kids love it as well and constantly ask to go kayaking with me. Take down and set is really easy. Now just to mount my depth finder with the center magnetic cup holder and I will be completely ready
