Comments about NRS MaverIK I Performance Package:
I purchased the MaverIK after paddleing the River Kwai (North West Thailand) with a crazy American guy i had met in Ko Chaing (an island over by the Cambodian boarder)who is travelling around with his Rascal.
My sole purpose was to explore the River's Kwai Noi and Yai.
I have started this adventure and this is such the perfect craft to do this in, I am so pleased with my purchase.
I am also very much impressed with the build quality and design of this kayak, well done guys.

Comments about NRS MaverIK I Performance Package:
This is our third MaverIK I and all have been great boats - the other two are still in use. Very sturdy and can withstand much abuse. Not much storage space for overnight trips. Great for whitewater and very stable. I had to add three more D-rings to get a good setup for tying in stuff. Rolls up easy and can fit in the back of your car or truck.

Class III+ so far and good. My first time down the rapids outside of a multi-person raft and had a great time! Got dumped twice. Easy to exit, easy to enter on the fly.

Q:
Is the MaverIK I suitable for self support trips?Asked on 6/3/2013 by Joe B from SLC UT2 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
How long is the trip? I plan to do a 5 day trip in mine and think that I can take enough gear to support myself for that time. This will be on the River Kwai in North Western Thailand but that will include stopping each night in a Resort or Guesthouse style accommodation.
Cheers, g.g
A:
Joe, it certainly can be used for self support trips. You'll just need to go backpacker light and the load spread out fore and aft. Some folks who use IKs for self-support trips like tandem IKs for the extra room.Answered on 6/4/2013 by Clyde from NRS
