The Sea Eagle 380X was the very first inflatable kayak I ever bought. That was well over a decade ago. I had that kayak for many years and went on countless awesome adventures with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to present day and I now have the latest model and love it just as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The material is very strong, resistant to punctures and UV damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The seams are quadruple overlapped glued making leaks uncommon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sea Eagle company has been around for a very long time. They’ve had decades to perfect their construction so that it holds up exactly as you would want it to for an adventure kayak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out the video below of me paddling the 380X with my pups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT’S IN THE BOX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gvj9USGYfls\" width=\"600\" height=\"345\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several different package options to choose from with this kayak so you can customize it based on your needs.  I have the Pro Kayak Package so I have based this review on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INCLUDED IN THE PRO KAYAK PACKAGE:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>380X Explorer Hull With Separate High-Pressure Floor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 Adjustable 4-Piece Paddles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 Adjustable High-Back Seats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 Kayak Stow Bags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foot Pump<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slide-In Skeg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry Bag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repair Kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/go\/seaeagle\/380xp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/380Xnew.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/380Xnew.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/380Xnew-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/380Xnew-768x361.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OTHER OPTIONAL PACKAGE ITEMS INCLUDE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shorter Paddles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carbon Paddles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflatable Seats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quiksail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Motor With Motor Mount<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>QuikRow Kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SPECIAL FEATURES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years the 380X has changed only slightly with a few little improvements here and there. Below are all of the important features to be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HIGH PRESSURE RIGID FLOOR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/go\/seaeagle\/380xp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/380X_2019l.jpeg\" alt=\"Sea Eagle high pressure rigid floor\" class=\"wp-image-18237\"

models (going back at least 5 years) had the standard inflatable floor that resembled an air mattress.  These floors were comfortable to sit on but did nothing to help performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more recent Sea Eagle inflatable kayaks use a separate high-pressure drop stitch floor that sits on top of the outside floor.  This floor is much more rigid than it was in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 main advantages to this high-pressure floor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It makes the kayak more durable and able to withstand more bumps, scrapes and overall abuse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It greatly helps with performance.  I notice a big difference in how this kayak performs with the high-pressure rigid floor.  It tracks better and the overall glide is smoother with less drag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also the floor can be removed for easy cleaning and for making sure all areas of the kayak get dried properly after use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16 DRAIN VALVES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/go\/seaeagle\/380xp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener

sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 16 self bailing drain valves along the floor of the 380X with 8 along each side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of my kayaking is done on fairly calm water so I have rarely had to use these drain valves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However they can be opened and closed quite easily and are great if you are in whitewater or in heavy ocean chop where water enters the kayak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the drain valves open the water will easily drain out however be aware that with them open the floor of the kayak does get wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FRONT & REAR SPRAY SKIRTS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/go\/seaeagle\/380xp\"

and rear spray skirts are invaluable as they deflect spray from entering the kayak when plowing through waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also provide a small sheltered area underneath the spray skirts where you can store gear if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or if you have a little dog who likes to be navigator like my little Jax does then the front spray skirt also acts as a great seat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jax is ALWAYS sitting up there.  He weighs 12 lbs. and it supports him well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/go\/seaeagle\/380xp\"

of the kayak are there so you can place your seats where you want them.  They are also perfect for safely securing gear inside the kayak when whitewater kayaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

kayaks have three air valves.  With three separate air chambers the kayak is very safe because if there is ever a leak in one there will still be two more inflated to get you safely back to shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/go\/seaeagle\/380xp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

options with the 380X package.  You can get the Deluxe Inflatable seats or the Tall Back seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have tried both and personally prefer the tall back seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inflatable seats are comfortable and only take seconds to inflate.  However I don’t find them to have the same amount of support that the tall-back seats offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tall-back seats have a padded cushion and a rigid high back.  The amount of rigidity and support you get can be adjusted with the straps that are attached to the D-rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like mine to be very straight and rigid so I adjust the straps to keep them that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have used far too many low back seats in the past in regular hard kayaks where my back would be killing me from lack of support during my paddling sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tall-back seats are awesome and better than most others that I have tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two straps on each side of the seat that can be attached to the D-rings on the side of the kayak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inflatablekayakworld.com\/go\/seaeagle\/380xp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener

The Pro Package<\/strong> – The Pro package is the one I went for. It includes 2 high back adjustable seats, 2 AB40 8′ fiberglass paddles that break down to 4 pieces, 2 small kayak storage bags for the bow and stern, foot pump, carry bag and repair kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. The Pro Carbon Package<\/strong> – This package cost an extra $100 over the Pro Package and gives you a set of upgraded great quality carbon-fiber paddles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This package was not available when I purchased my 380X but I think it is well worth the money. The carbon-fiber paddles are really nice to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.
