Users in Facebook X500 group have upload pics of the V3, no big changes at all but some quality issues have been addressed. In Mexico V2 still is being sold as of today. I may wait for the V3 a few months more.
Hi Steve, fantastic video - this looked great for kids - how good was the boat for solo paddling. I want to use with my kids but also go around shoreline for paddles on my own, so ideally looking for something that will cater for both. Thanks in advance!
The argument to me is like cycle helmets. Just bloody wear it. It's not hard work. As for knives almost every thing is legal when you have a legitimate reason and you're not in a public place, such as a town centre. Otherwise why would places like go outdoors and military surplus places sell bigger knives. I have a mora knife, definitely not legal as far as the law is concerned but of it's a tool for bushcraft then it's all good. All about context.
I feel your pain. I hurt my coccyx on my stag do 🙄 and it didn’t really stop hurting for a good 10 years. Will see in the next vid how you got on from here 👍
The amount of tax I pay there is no way I’ll be paying I take your point on board but this country has become a disgrace! And let’s be real a lot of the water ways are disgusting and never maintained just another way to control us
just ordered a 4p x100, worried there is a max lenght restrictions for UK Canals? Ive sent an emailand awaiting reply but does anyone know if theres such restrictions?
Is this suitable for 3 adults? You mention 2 adults and a dog, what about 3 x grown ups. Would it be too unstable /heavy? Offcourse would be within weight spec but is it best to keep away from the max?
No, it'll be a bit cramped with 3 adults, as said 2 adults and a dog or 2 adults and a small child will be the limit. Decathlon does a bigger model that maybe suitable
@@JamesJoyce-gk5jf just saw it...2-4 person x100. Looks massive. Will see....as it looks too big for majority it will be myself and 14 yr old but now and them with my mrs too.
Interesting thanks. Especially the family part. I was thinking whether to get a family license but our two boys are not that interested so wouldn't be in their own craft, if they're covered by my license when they come in my boat that's just saved me a fare bit of cash. Cheers.
Hi, Stevie. Good info generally. However, not all British waterways (other than Scottish) are covered by the British Canoeing ( now Paddle UK). There are public and private waterways that require a day/week/etc. licence.
I always carry a mobile phone and a Personal location beacon incase there is no phone signal. The other reason for wearing a PFD is that it sets a good example to children. You might not have children with you but it easier for a parent to be able to show a child that grown-ups wear them. I remember having an argument with my daughter when she was about eight for the need to wear a pdf. When we got back from the seaside it was reported that four children had drowned in seperate incidents over Bank Holiday weekend.
Phone: As a paddler, I strongly recommend to buy a WATER PROOF phone like a Samsung etc... I have it always in my PDF, attached with a small rope, but never in a dry bag. I use the phone to have a look on the map from time to time.
Hi Stevie, looks like you sold me on the Itiwit X100. This will be our very 1st inflatable Kayak, so just to confirm with regard to inflation. Floor first, followed by the side chambers, am I correct? Many thanks
Very nice. I remember I sat out late once and man it was tough. Lake was rough as the ocean but once I found camp the night was so amazing. Paddling in the dark is a trip, but it was amazing. I love this video man. Thank you for posting
Thank you for this wonderful review! I have a small car, and carrying two hard kayaks on the roof would be impossible, that is why I intend to buy the inflatable version. Your video really helped me with the final decision. ❤ Thaaanks!
I personally think that it's bad that a licence is required. But what's most egregious is that there's no unified licence. If we're going to make the argument that this money goes towards maintaining the waterways so you as a paddler actually want to pay it, then it should be one single licence that you buy from the government, and that's it. But as we know, there's loads of greedy people out there, and I doubt that such a single licence would be a true single licence, much like how a rod licence isn't enough to fish in most waters. This whole system needs reform. We need to encourage people to go out in nature, not deter them with complicated rules and hidden fees.
Thankyou steve for the upload I really loved it, I'm going to buy the x100 3 man this weekend,I tried the back pack on its manageable but at 18kg I wish it had a strap going across my waist too rather than just pulling on my shoulders. Your uploads give me inspiration to get out on the water with my Mrs and we also want to do some camping but how the heck do you carry it all.
I have an offer at eBay with the Itiwit 3 (looks like the old one in Black/Orange like the 100) but with Dropstitch Bottom. Is it possible or a sellers fail? I cant find the Old Charge with a Dropstitch...
Does the british canoing licence cover you for ANY waterway. I paddle in the sea but I have heard of people getting grief on the rivers nearby from members of fishing clubs and the like.
Thanks for a great review I'm going to save up few more quid for the x100 i saw it in decathlon yesterday next to the older version at 279 which i did like more but after seeing your review i think the x100 is the way to go even though its 200 more. Thanks
