Drop stitch inflatable kayak

Abstract

An inflatable kayak includes an inflatable floor made of high pressure drop stitch material; and inflatable sides made of high-pressure drop stitch material formed at port and starboard sides of the inflatable floor, respectively. The drop stitch inflatable sides can be glued or welded directly to the port and starboard sides of the inflatable floor, and the inflatable sides are configured to be inclined outboard from the inflatable floor. Alternatively, the inflatable sides may be glued or welded to a non-inflated fabric floor and the inflatable floor made of high pressure drop stitch material may be positioned and attached to a top of the non-inflated fabric floor with the inflatable sides pressing against the inflatable floor.
