Best Ultralight Kayak For Your Money Sea Eagle EZLite 

Hi Dianes - Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Enjoy those new EZLites!

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! You will love this boat! Have a great week! EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz

It is an ingenious new design, and I love it, works awesome!

Well, you are lucky! Because, they flew off the shelves. First stocking order was 100 and they only lasted two weeks. Let me know how you like them, I think you will be impressed. :-)

Used ours today for a couple hours, no problems both of us were happy with them. I did feel kinda goofy having to inflate our kayaks while others at the lake were just pulling them off their vehicles straight into the water. I used an electric pump and a lot of staring going on. Packing up was quick.

@jason00794 yes, but I can promise you that a majority of the people lugging those big boats off their roof racks are looking at you with jealousy.

Hey, thanks for watching and commenting!! You will love the FastTrack, it’s great for what it does. Super stable, can easily stand up in it, also go tandem too! The EZLite10 is a great addition too to the Sea Eagle product line!

Thanks! How is the kayaking now down under?

@@KayakCliff Love in the PakAyaK, however, I did have a problem but Doug from PakAyaK got it sorted for me and sent me a replacement half of the boat, and now all good.

I hear ya! I usually sell things that I'm not using on craigslist or Facebook marketplace, then get what new model I want. That EZLite is a great alternative to the fast track. If it's in great condition, consider posting it and selling it.

Congratulations Jeffrey, you are going to love this boat! It is a great go-between as you mentioned. It's also a great stand alone if that's the only kayak you want to buy. You likely did get the last one in stock, their initial order was 100. And they blew out the doors. They have another hundred coming in at the beginning of July. Enjoy that new kayak and let me know how you like it! EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz

@JeffreyAlvarez1 I previously owned the FastTrack and a RZ. When I saw the video, I thought the same thing. You've had yours a couple of months now, how do you like it? Do you wish it was 12'? Thanks

@ralphkeith2905 the razor light has always been my favorite and now it is one of my favorites. The EZLite - is now a favorite as well. As somebody who has multiple kayaks, I use the easy light as a grab and go boat when I don't need to carry anything more than a small cooler, great for weeknight paddles or for a workout. I love how light it is! I love how much easier it is to roll up than the razor light. Once a 12 foot version comes out, that might be the best of both worlds.

@@ralphkeith2905 hard for me to answer that since i’m new to kayaking. Ive had it down a small river and open lake. It works for my needs currently. It’s not the fastest on the lake I thought.

Yes, I'm assuming it's probably a 20 pound dog? I don't think that's any problem at all as long as you don't exceed total weight limit. Should be room for a small cooler in the back as well. Really nice, practical, high-performance kayaks.

What is the name of your RU-vid channel? I will subscribe to you!

@@KayakCliff It's Let's Go Paddling, the one I'm commenting from. Thanks and greetings from the UK, Tom

@LetsGoPaddling thanks, great channel! I just subscribed!

Thank you for watching Jeffrey and great question! Right now Sea Eagle only has the corded one stage inflation pump. This month, in June, they will be introducing their new battery operated super Duper two stage pump. This will be the replacement for the battery operated pump that you see me using in my videos. Keep an eye out on their website, you should see it probably in the next week or so.

@@KayakCliff Awesome - thank you so much for the information and clarification.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I have not had any problem with the EVA foam becoming damaged, and I have had it out three times so far. I have had the issue with it getting dirty with each use. I remedy that by cleaning it down with some soapy water when I wash the boat down at the end of the day. This tends to remove, all of the stains, however, there's always a little bit that will be there invisible. EVA foam is a very popular product used on the floors of most every inflatable paddleboard, you do wanna make sure that you have nothing on the bottom of your shoes that could skuff it. I have found it to be inherently, pretty durable, however, I do see where you could leave some marks if there is anything sharp or jagged dragged across it. EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz

Hi 👋 there! Here is the link for the air pumps. Air Inflation Pumps: bit.ly/3MjKN9z As successful as the 10 footer is, I would not be surprised if they come out with a 12 footer at some point in the future.

Hi there, great question! The EVA foam on the inside of the kayak, does not absorb water. When you are finished with the kayak, if you completely towel dry it off, then unroll it at home, it will dry overnight with your air conditioning running. I always inflate mine at home and it even drives faster. Definitely does not take two days to dry. EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz

I would say that's an accurate analysis! I do plan sometime this summer to do a comparison speed test between both of them. Then we will know! Bottom line it is a fast kayak.

Hi Sarah, if you paddle with the included skeg that comes with the EZLite, it tracks straight as an arrow. I like a boat that is a little bit more playful and allows for greater maneuverability while paddling. For that reason, I purchased the small skeg from sea Eagle and really like how it performs. With both skegs, I am able to achieve any type of paddling that I wanna do, including super shallow water paddling.

@@KayakCliff Thank you so much for your quick reply! I actually have bought the Razorlite, just haven't taken it out yet! I kind of want both! PS I appreciate all of your videos. Keep up the fun!

Oh crud, sorry about that. For the razor light, now that is a different story. I prefer to not paddle with a skeg on the razor light usually. If I do put a skeg on, I only put the small skeg on. Without the skeg - the razor light tracks pretty well while you are paddling, but when you stop paddling, it will start to veer right or left. The small skeg helps to keep it centered or the standard one that comes with the boat. I just like a boat that's a little bit more playful, that's just me, so that's why I usually go without. Let me know how it works for you!

Hi Bob, when I'm kayaking and needing to anchor, I just have the anchor line tied to a carabiner that I just clip to the front or rear grab handle. Being seated in the middle of the kayak, it is actually easy to retrieve the anchor, if you just do a couple paddle strokes forward or backward, then grab the rope as it comes alongside the kayak and pull up the anchor. Very easy and very low tech, I love it!

Hi JR - you should be good to go! You definitely fit within the maximum rider weight and I have freakishly long legs with a 34 1/4 inseam. I think 35 inseam would probably be the maximum. If you are under 34 inseam, you have plenty of room. Even at a 34 you will be fine. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions! Here is my affiliate link below. Oh, my height is 6 foot. EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz

Don't get rid of the razor light! I love the amount of storage that boat has and the increased speed and efficiency. This new boat is just another option that fills a different niche. Super light, small, but still fast and high-performing!

Thanks LJ!

Hey Bill, great to hear from you and great question! In the attached video, I go over this and illustrate it with my dad who is 84 years old in the tandem razor light. Simply wade out to knee-deep water, then simply sit down into the boat like you were sitting into a chair. When the water is up to your knees, all you have to do is bend and sit at a 90° angle, this makes it very achievable. Check out the video to see how we did it. Suwannee River Paddling Three Days With My Dad ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m3eifjl1NZ8.html

beyond Cliff's recommendation, i recommend you also use the paddle to get in and out of the boat. easy method: in knee-deep water, use the paddle as a cane to stand or sit. slightly more advanced, but more helpful method: put the paddle across the kayak diagonally and then use it for leverage as you sit and stand, like a grab bar that can take weight. you can then push off the paddle to stand up, or lower yourself as you sit. i say diagonally as you can make a wedge with it and the boat, with your body in the middle, where you can hold onto the paddle with one arm and the boat with the other as you stand or sit.

Thank you so much for sharing that additional information! Very useful!

Hi Bob, Yes, you slide the foot brace rods through both holes on the black receiver mounted to the boat hull. Then take the end of the rod with the black 90 degree plastic finger, then rotate it downwards to lock it into place in the receiver. Should rotate down pretty easily if you have the rod fully inserted. Let me know if you figured it out!

@@KayakCliff thanks ! I think i got it. I may modify the lead edge of the receiver slightly at maybe a 45 degree angle. currently it strikes that corner a little too abruptly. So much so i thought it was going to perhaps cause it to snap. Thanks for your help !!

@bobrich1950 Just keep in mind that with use and getting wet, it will slip in easier…… Don’t want to alter too much,then have it be too loose once wet and broken in

@@KayakCliff Good point. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks.

@@KayakCliff Good point. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks !

Well, the razor light is still one of my favorite boats ever! I love the high-performance speed and how the boat handles. I plan to do a video comparing the Razor Light and the EZLite later this month.

@@KayakCliff..Would love to see that comparison

I will have it sometime in the next month or so.

Hi 👋 there! The EZLite is much more stable than the RazorLite. With the V floor, if you get high center on a boulder I would imagine your stability will be greater than when you do that on the RazorLite, especially if you can position that boulder on the flat side of the V. The nice thing about the RazorLite is you can paddle extremely effectively with no skeg, that is my favorite way to paddle the RazorLite, which makes it an awesome boat for shallow rivers. If you are in the EZLite, I highly recommend purchasing the small skeg that Sea Eagle offers, that is the only skeg I use on the EZLite10 and it works very well! Below are my affiliate links and review videos for both boats: EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz My Review: Best Ultralight Kayak For Your Money Sea Eagle EZLite ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FgzpJMpcu2g.html Best Ultralight Kayak For Your Money?

I have not been able to go down any yet. I should in about a week and a half when I am up in North Carolina in the Blue Ridge Mountains using it. I will have a better idea then. I think it will perform wonderfully, I have been out in that level of wind and waves in a lake and itperformed beautifully.

Hi, definitely the 393 RL razor light! It has the speed and it has plenty of storage. I have done several camping trips out of it with no problem! Not a lot of storage in the EZLite. Below I'm going to paste a bunch of adventure videos in the razor light. Also, my affiliate Web link to the product in case you choose to purchase. It's a great boat. I use it more than anything. With this new easy light, though, I see myself using that a lot as well, just not a lot of storage.

The pump I used in the video was the pump that sea eagle has had out for several years now. They just replaced it with this model which I just received and I'm about to try it out. I'm told with the lithium battery, it is much better and much stronger, the last one was awesome, so I am excited to try it out. Same price as the one that I used in the video, just much more improved. I highly recommend battery pumps, but they make the experience so much better! Air Inflation Pumps: alnk.to/9btN2h3

Thank you so much for watching and commenting and great question! I personally prefer to paddle in my own kayak, rather than paddling tandem. It is always a much better experience for me and most others that I talk to. The EZLite would accommodate both you or your wife perfectly! I would just make sure that you pull the seat back to the farthest rearward position, while still being able to put your feet on the foot pegs. I have conversed with several people like yourselves that have found the EZLite10 to work beautifully. As always, I encourage my viewers to give me some feedback after they have tried the boats. That helps me give better information to other people who have questions. Safe adventuring to you and your wife out there this summer!

@@KayakCliff Thank YOU so much. Ordered two with your link :)

That's great! Thank you so much. I think you will really like those boats. I'm getting ready to put mine on a plane for a trip up to Baltimore area and I'm gonna shoot a video paddling around Annapolis, Maryland. Should be fun! Like I said, I think you will like the boats, they are very well-made. Let me know what your thoughts are once you've gotten your paddles wet.

​@@KayakCliffWe've been out a few times with them and so far so good! As a heavier paddler, I love how well they carry me. I don't feel like I'm dragging at all. FANTASTIC boat. I didn't like the orange electric pump they suggested - too slow and too unstable, but I got a swonder pump off Amazon and it works great. Can't wait for the water to get back to normal after Debbie so we can paddle more!

Thanks for watching and commenting. Hopefully by now you have been able to get back out and enjoy the water! Take care!

A lot of people prefer the inflatable seat, try it out first. I like the other high back seat. Sea Eagle has wonderful customer service, call them and perhaps there is something they can do to help you.

@@KayakCliff will do! Thanks for the info

Hi 👋 there, the pump that I'm using in the video has been discontinued and they just replaced it with this pump. I'm actually getting one of these soon. This one actually has more battery power and pumps it up even faster, with the ability to pump up bigger boats or multiple kayaks. Air Inflation Pumps: alnk.to/9btN2h3

Right on, thank you for that info! That is the one I'll purchase, and I'll use your link. You make great videos, Cliff.​​@@KayakCliff

I just got that new Mega Pump and I really like it, very well made. You’ll see it in upcoming videos. Air Inflation Pumps: alnk.to/9btN2h3

Yes, but if you add the two speeds together, then divide by two, you are just getting the average speed not the difference of the speed going up stream versus the speed going downstream....

@@KayakCliff Say you have a boat that can go 5 mph. with a 1 mph current, you would go 6 mph downstream and 4 upstream. 6+4)/2 = 5

Thank you for watching and commenting! I truly think you will like this new boat! I am aware of those other boats that you mentioned, but with regards to this boat, I consider my title to be correct as this is a high-performing, affordable, and light wight kayak. I don't think those other boats have those three attributes. Compared to plastic boats that the majority of the population has, I definitely consider this to be ultralight ,while still within the affordable realm.

@@KayakCliff Definitely. Both Kuda and Cirrus show relatively poor tracking. I also searched a lot about glued seam vs heat welded seam. Indeed some ppl mentioned their sea eagle seam failed after a couple of years of storage. So I added another 3-year extended warranty. Hopefully, this product will cover me until I am tired of kayaking.

@shortiaw6850 well, don't ever get tired of kayaking! I believe most seem issues occur from improper storage. I refrain from storage in un climatized spaces. I store mine indoors where the temperature is a constant 75° to 80°F.

Sorry to hear that about your seams. I tend to hear from a lot of people that 10 years and the seams start to go out. Just wondering, how did you store yours? Was it subject to the hot and cold elements out in a garage or was it in a condition space?

Huh? In the video I stated that the kayak is 26 pounds, then with seat installed it's about 28 1/2 pounds. Not sure where you're getting 35 pounds plus......

Hi 👋 there! As in the states, I don't believe Sea Eagle has a store location over there. They ship most everything to the customer. They have great customer service, here is the link to order if you are interested. EZLite 10 Sea Eagle - alnk.to/60ZT3Sz
