How to Choose a Portable Kayak? Inflatable or Folding Kayak?

Inflatable kayaks and folding kayaks have become hugely popular, because they solve the problem of transporting and storing a full size kayak. But, with so many different ones to choose from, how do you choose the right kayak? Should you get an inflatable kayak like the Intex Challenger? Should you get a folding kayak like the Oru Kayak or Tucktec? What about a nesting kayak like the Pakayak Bluefin 142?

I just use a inflatable paddleboard with a kayak paddle and also a attachable kayak seat

I did sub up because I plan on upgrading at some point. Experience is a priceless purchasing guide. Thank you!

Love my tucktec but there are downsides to it. Gotta stay out of the chop and cant really handle anything other than calm waters. You have to pay extra for the carry bag or your accessories could fall out. The worst part is the sharp edges. Youll need to sand some parts smooth or it will slice you open. But, if you want to have something in your trunk to quickly get you in the water to catch some bass... it cant be beat.

I ordered the Oru Inlet, since I'm only going to be in still water

I want your job, lol. Go paddling, check out gear, and get paid for it.
