Australia’s Razor Kayaks enters the US market with the bold claim that its single-passenger Edge Pro 1 is the fastest, most agile inflatable kayak ever built. After putting the Edge Pro through its paces, we’ll make a pretty bold claim of our own. Namely, what sounds like marketing hype actually proves pretty spot on.
Borrowing a construction method more commonly used in inflatable SUP construction — but tweaking it to provide shape and curvature — Razor has created an inflatable that looks and feels very much like a hard-shell, yet packs away into a compact (if somewhat heavy) backpack. Setup is remarkably quick with an electric pump. On-water performance backs up the potential promise, with surprisingly few reservations.
