Just a follow up my Velocity.... I've been using it 5 years and its holding up just fine.....only problem I had was the kayak wouldn't completely inflate, Almost but not 100%...
Contacted Airis - Walker Bay people and they correctly diagnosed the problem was with the pump
that was a very easy fix.
I have other kayaks but this one is so easy to throw in the trunk and go. Great kayak and pleasant dealings with Walker Bay.
