The air system comprises a kayak having a front end and a rear end with an interior surface and an exterior surface. The kayak also includes an opening for receiving a kayaker, the interior surface having an upper region with a space behind the user. A pair of airbags of a similar configuration are provided, each airbag having an input valve for filling the bags and each airbag having an air outlet orifice for providing air to the kayaker. Next provided is a walled container which has a flap at the front with a fastener for selectively opening and closing the front of the container. The container is adapted to receive and support the airbags and is secured to the kayak. A mouthpiece having an associated valve movable between an open position and a closed position is further provided as well as tubing coupling the air output orifices to each other and to the mouthpiece.
