Maybe some of us need new ideas, something inexpensive and at the same time exciting?<\/p>\n<p>This post might give you another sight.<\/p>\n<p>Some time ago i was thinking of buying a small inflatable canoe or kayak to explore closely beautiful Florida springs and rivers. At that time I could not find something suitable that I would like from the first glance. But I did not give up the idea and a month ago I searched some online stores and found my past idea &#8220;materialized&#8221; ;-).<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">&#8220;Coleman 2-Person Inflatable Sit-on-Top Kayak With Paddles&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I immediately ordered it from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.walmart.com\/catalog\/product.do?product_id=3657613\" target=\"_blank\">WALMART<\/a> ( it is available online only ), where they had the lowest price of 79.98.<\/p>\n<p>And for less than a hundred dollars (including shipping and two paddles) I got it in a few days.<\/p>\n<p>And of course we ( my wife and me ) tried it right away. The first evaluation is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>when properly inflated the kayak is very stable in the water<\/li>\n<li> despite its size of 11 feet, it is relatively light and can be carried and handled inflated by a single person<\/li>\n<li>easy to clean, wash and deflate after use<\/li>\n<li> can be folded and put in a bigger bag<\/li>\n<li>and finally it is very inexpensive water sport -;) &#8211; going in the water costs nothing to you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kayaking in the ocean might be as exiting as it is in the mountain river. Like the other day we went in the water in pretty &#8220;breezy&#8221; weather and after a while we got company &#8211; a couple dolphins just a few dozens feet away.<\/p>\n<p>But the most excited as always were the children on the beach. They all wanted a ride.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/img\/posts\/coleman_kayak.jpg\" alt=\"Coleman Kayak\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On St.Pete Beach<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><em>Enjoy open air and open water kayaking!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inflatable Sit-on-Top Kayak &#8211; inexpensive idea for summer water fun in rivers, lakes, springs and even in the ocean<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[58],"class_list":["post-5","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-florida","tag-inflatable-kayak"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177,"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions\/177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allabouthappylife.com\/happy_blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
