Customer Reviews
I trusted my Vibe inflatable kayaks so much I ran them over with truck, threw them off roof of my house, and went shark fishing just to prove the point in my confidence of the watercraft. I caught and landed a massive spinner shark on Vibe Uptown and fought it for 2hrs. Could shark bite the kayak….absolutely, but overall this kayak is amazing. It survived my tests and performed well. The kayak has great maneuverability.
DISCLAIMER: vibe sent me the kayaks for testing. However, I couldn’t fake the tests and it showed impressive performance and durability. Video is online via YouTube at KAYAKDIY channel.
The kayak is beautiful. It’s sturdy. It’s stable and it is faster than my old town PDL 120 kayak and it’s very convenient. The only issue was the manual inflator did not fit my kayak so I had to modify it if they can fix that, it’s worth the price tag in my Opinion, it’s worth it overall tho. it’s a very good kayak, more spacious and stable than my PDL 120
After using the Vibe Uptown 100 Lite I am thoroughly impressed and very satisfied with my purchase. The unique pedal system and rudder control have transformed my fishing experience, offering a level of convenience and efficiency that I hadn't found in other products, especially at this price point.
First off, the pedal system is a game-changer. It allows for smooth movement through the water, making fishing way better compared to traditional paddleboards. The ability to pedal forwards and backwards is exceptionally useful, especially when maneuvering away from docks or navigating around structures where fish are abundant. This feature significantly enhances the fishing experience, as it allows for precise positioning without disturbing the water too much.
The hands-free operation is another major benefit. Not having to juggle between a paddle and my fishing rod has made my trips much more enjoyable and productive. I can now focus entirely on fishing, which has notably increased my catch rate.
I also highly recommend getting an electric pump to accompany this paddleboard. It makes the setup process a breeze. While the pump inflates the board, I can efficiently assemble the seat and rudder, saving time and effort before hitting the water.
Lastly, the Vibe Uptown 100 Lite’s compact and inflatable design is a perfect solution for someone like me who has limited storage space. It fits easily in my tiny car, making it incredibly convenient to transport to different fishing spots.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the Vibe Uptown 100 Lite. It’s an exceptional fishing craft that offers great value for its price, and it has significantly enhanced my fishing experiences. For anyone looking for a convenient, efficient, and portable fishing solution, I can't recommend this paddleboard enough.
