Recently someone posted what I thought was a great idea...using inflatable fenders to roll a loaded kayak out of the water. I have a bad back, and have been unloading the kayak while it floats in the water, which is fine but not perfect, especially when a bit chilled. I went to West Marine today and the only kind they had required a needle and pump for inflation. Just curious, is this the system used, or do fenders exist that can be blown up by mouth and still be firm enough to protect the keel?
