Can I keep the inflatable kyak blown up all summer without deflating it ??? Would keep it indoors when not in use..

I don't see why not.. but don't know why you would want to... it would take up a lot more room to store,, and it only takes a few minutes to inflate it with the manual pump..so that is the beauty of this kayak... it doesn't require a lot of storage space or transport space..

Hello,Yes you can keep the kayak inflated all summer. And you can keep it outdoors as well, just not in direct sun.In winter, I would suggest deflating it and do not touch it if it is being stored in freezing temperatures. Bring it to room temperature once again before re-inflating it. Finally, rodents do like eating the kayaks over the winter...make sure you store it in a sealed container if you are storing it in a garage or shed, or someplace where rodents can gain access to it.Hope this helps, Sincerely, Susan / Sea Eagle Boats

I kept it inflated for a week while on vacation but not the whole summer. It did need to be pumped up before the end of the week.

Yes, but I would keep it out of the sun as heat will make it expand beyond acceptable inflation standards.

Yes, you can do that, however, you still may have to add a few pumps of air before each use. It would be best to keep it indoors so that the varying temperatures or sunlight wouldn't effect the air pressure inside the kayak.

The top portion comes off (top lip right below the yellow sticker). If you have it outside it will blow off in any wind. Actually, the whole thing will blow around the yard if it is not weighted down with rocks. I plan to put rocks in it and glue the lid on to keep it from blowing around. Indoor use is best if it is for storage - I bought it for my male dog to pee on outside though :-)

Yes. It comes mildly deflated and you can just turn it in the box to find the inflation point if giving it as a gift. Do note that over time it will gradually lose inflation again, and you just re-inflate it. I have found a that a slight lack of air pressure, decreased the amount of impact damage 2 small kids can do with it indoors. That said, from a replica point of view, it is mildly annoying that it will not hold it's inflation pressure well over time.

You can inflate & deflate easily with an electric pump. It's so large, you probably wouldn't want to store it inside. Once it's deflated it can fold up to a decent size.

It's outfitted with two small air holes such as you find on regular inflatable toys. Make sure your air pump has a nozzle that will fit in and you're good to go. I recommend using a manual air pump, otherwise it will take awhile to blow up, and if you use an air compressor you could over inflate it. FYI: Takes a bit of time to deflate too, as all the air has to come out of those tiny holes, but it was super fun to play around on.

I would not advise inflating with water. Eventually all inflated furniture will leak.

If you don't take the plastic off it wont inflate. It comes air sealed, so its flat when it arrives. You could always purchase a protective cover.

absolutely!! adults and children used it, and have even re-used them the next year!! just flattened, put away, and then re-inflated them...well worth the cost

Buy an air pump that has a deflate option and it is a piece of cake. Deflated it goes in the box it came in. I bought two and my grandkids beat them to death wrestling, running on them and jumping off them for two weeks of daily abuse. Love these floats. Great buy.

you could get in inflatable..it is about the size of a roll away cooler, but you have to blower and stakes for both..dunno if that would be allowed.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!

If you plan on taking it down and putting it away during the week then it is a pain the arse. If you deinflate it, my advice is to cover it with a tarp. We left ours in place all summer using it every few days. Regrettably I didn't cover it. This is an awesome slide for family fun. My kids, under 120 pounds played on it for hours/days. Not so good when the big boys and me tried to use it, although it did hold up.

Yes the best way to inflate this is by buying a small air pump, I have a coleman one that I bought at walmart for $20 that works perfect to blow up all our inflatables.(would take a long time to blow up by mouth :) )

You can inflate with the mouth or with a machine. Its not so big! Great for summer or travels! :)

I'm assuming that you are attending the music festival, rather than hosting it? That would mean that you are taking the deflated balloon in with you and can't take an electric pump or shop vac with you. It will take forever to try to blow it up without one of those. You could try cans of compressed air or maybe a foot pump or bicycle pump, but be prepared to go early.

I would suggest not putting any kind of toys in it, and keeping it indoors... But, we did that with ours and still had to pitch it after a couple weeks due to deflation and mysterious holes that seemed to show up out of nowhere...

The best place to play with this inflatable ball is in an open, grass-filled park. My grandson enjoyed this ball one summer, than the individual pillows began to deflate (due to small punctures, I assume). Since each pillow is individually inflated, you can spend quite a bit of time repairing the holes so it will continue to hold air. It was fun and worth his enjoyment, but I'm not sure the price was worth the length of time it was actually "operational."
