Unboxing the new ITIWIT RACE 500 inflatable kayak from Decathlon: Initial impressions & first look

The new #Itiwit Race 500 inflatable kayak is available since late summer 2023, and thanks to kind efforts by the ‪@itiwitbydecathlon6708‬ management team and ‪@DecathlonSweden‬ (much appreciated!), I've received a sample Race 500 kayak for testing and review.

This is my #unboxing video of the #Race500, showing the kayak being picked up at #DecathlonSweden at Mall of Scandinavia, Stockholm, and initial unboxing - well, unpacking, since the kayak comes directly in its backpack.

I know many are interested in this kayak, and as there's not yet a lot of material available out there, and this kayak is typically for online order (e.g. not possible to see directly in stores), I'll endeavor to provide videos here on the channel for those who are looking for information and footage.

Stay tuned for more videos here on the channel showing the Itiwit Race 500 and experiences with the same!

Note for reference: This is not paid promotion or similar - I have received a sample kayak to borrow (no monetary compensation) and will provide free and unbiased impressions in this and other videos, as always.

Special thanks to my friend @paddlaistockholm for assistance and some filming/photo during pickup of the kayak, and during the first on-water test, which will be shown in the next video.
