Solstice Flare 1P 9’6″ Inflatable Fishing Kayak – Performance Drop-Stitch Floor, PVC Pontoons, Adjustable Seat & Accessories

The Solstice Flare 1 Person Inflatable Fishing Kayak combines rugged drop-stitch floor technology with reinforced 1000D PVC pontoons, delivering a lightweight yet ultra-stable platform for anglers and paddlers alike. At just 30 lbs (13.65 kg) packed, this 9’6″ × 35″ kayak inflates in minutes with high-pressure valves and packs down to a carry bag for effortless transport and storage. Built to handle whitewater and calm lakes, the Flare 1P is equipped with an adjustable bucket seat, tri-chamber safety valves, multi-position footrests, bungee storage, and a removable skeg—everything you need for fishing, touring, or recreational paddling.

Key Performance Features

• Drop-Stitch High-Pressure Floor: Military-grade, drop-stitch floor inflates to 10–15 psi, creating a rigid hull that paddles like a hard-shell kayak.
• Reinforced 1000D PVC Pontoons: Tough nylon-coated fabric cover over PVC pontoons for abrasion resistance and puncture protection in rocky or shallow waters.
• Tri-Chamber HPI Valves: Three independent air chambers (port, starboard, floor) enhance stability and safety—if one chamber loses pressure, the others maintain buoyancy.
• Removable Skeg: Quickly slide in the large, detachable skeg to improve straight-line tracking on open water; remove it for shallow streams or maneuvering tight corners.
• Multi-Position Footrests: Adjustable foot braces accommodate paddlers of all sizes and provide ergonomic support for efficient strokes.
• Inflation/Deflation Speed: Deluxe H3 screw-type valves allow rapid inflation/deflation; inflate the entire kayak in under 7 minutes using the included pump.
• High Visibility & Safety: Bright multicolor exterior enhances on-water visibility. Maximum weight capacity up to 320 lbs (145 kg).

Angler-Focused Design

• Adjustable Bucket Seat: Padded nylon-covered seat with backrest can be positioned anywhere along the floor track for customized comfort and balance.
• Bungee Storage & D-Ring Tie-Downs: Store tackle boxes, coolers, and dry bags securely beneath the front and rear deck bungees. Eight reinforced D-rings allow attachment of rod holders, gear crates, or safety lines.
• Bow & Stern Cargo Areas: Soft handles and elastic cords at both ends keep flip-flops, paddles, or foul-weather gear within easy reach.
• Drain Valves: Integrated screw-type drain valves quickly expel water that splashes into the cockpit—ideal for fishing in choppy conditions.
