I own an AIRE Seatiger and an AIRE Super Lynx. I love my boats. I paddle on lakes, rivers and the Bay of Fundy here in New Brunswick, Canada. I often take my Standard Poodle with me. I have used both hard kayaks and inflatables. Although the hard kayaks are faster I do find that my Seatiger to be fast. The transportabilty of these boat are a great feature. I keep my kayaks in the back of my van all season. The rudder on the Seatiger is wonderful. (Makes me look like I know what I am doing. lol) When kayaking with any of my 7 adult children, I give them the AIRE Super Lynx to use as I do prefer the Seatiger. They also like the inflatables. I highly recommend your boats. 💟🚣

The stability and the near indestructibility of the hull gives you the confidence to play in shallow rivers where hardshell sea kayaks fear to tread. If I'm looking for a good workout, I paddle upstream for a mile or two and then play in the rapids on the way back down. A river trip without the need for a shuttle.
Regarding the durability, I also own an Aire whitewater kayak that I have bounced off rocks and dragged across gravel bars for 10 years. These boats are tough. They come with a 10-year warranty. I've never had to use it, and I don't baby my boats. I bought them to have fun with and that's what I do.
There are a couple of tradeoffs. The boat is not as fast as a hardshell, although I often paddle with them. This boat hits a wall on hull speed at about 4.3 mph and you just can't push it any faster, even going downwind. It collects some leaves and flotsam in the seams where the tubes meet the floor and it takes a bit longer to clean it up after use than a hardshell would. It also collects some water in the envelope around the floor bladder that is slow to drain until you let some air out. If you try to carry it away from the takeout without draining the water, it can be REAL heavy. It's not all that light even when it doesn't have water in its bilge. As with all inflatables, storage will make a big difference in longevity. If you store it rolled up for extended periods, it needs to be dried out. I store it partially inflated on a rack hanging from the garage ceiling, so I don't have to dry it out after every use.
