Do inflatable kayaks track as well as hardshell kayaks?
Reviewer consensus
Generally no, but it depends on the design. outdoorgearlab.com's review of the Intex Explorer K2 specifically flags poor tracking, while their AdvancedFrame Sport review and r/Kayaking threads praise the aluminum-rib hybrid for tracking 'more like a hardshell.' A deployable skeg or fin makes a substantial difference on every model in this list.
