Top 5 Inflatable and Folding Kayaks | PaddleTV Award Winners

The time has come for me to make my selection for the 'Best Portable Kayaks of the Year'.  Please note that this selection only takes into account the portable kayaks that I tested this year. I'm sure there are some other award-worthy kayaks out there, but that doesn't change the fact that these are all great kayaks that are worth considering if you're shopping for a portable kayak.
