But, to travel with your kayak, you’ll need to purchase the Oru Pack or the Inlet Pack, which is a heavy-duty nylon backpack that fits the kayak and other accessories. If you’re flying, these boats can be checked on a plane, and in most cases, will count as carry-on baggage (with no extra fee). Traveling with an Oru is pretty straightforward. Since the original launch, they’ve added and redesigned models to their lineup, which currently sits at five different options: the Bay ST, the Beach LT, the Coast XT, the Inlet, and a tandem model, the Haven TT.
The 25-40 pound, made in California origami kayaks pack down to medium suitcase size that can be carried on your back (their exact packed down dimensions are 33 in x 12 in x 29 in). Oru is a Kickstarter success story, launching in 2013 and reaching its goal almost immediately. They come folded up in a backpack and are pretty easily assembled into 12-16 ft long, seafaring vessels. The origami-style folding Oru kayaks are made from a single sheet of hard, corrugated plastic (polypropylene, to be exact). Oru kayaks also come with 30-day guarantee and a one-year warranty. They fit in the trunk of a car (so a roof rack isn’t required) and can be brought on a plane, train or bus. Oru kayaks fold down to about a 25 lb backpack that can be tucked away in the back of a closet or under the bed until they’re ready to be used. They cost essentially the same as a rotomolded kayak or inflatable kayak that serve the same purpose. But, if you want something with more utility that will provide enjoyment on different types of water, we think a folding Oru kayak is the way to go. For those just looking for a leisurely lake float, a packraft will do (such as an Alpacka raft). You can also travel with them and hike to places that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to paddle on. And often, you’ll find that the best paddling destinations are a little off the beaten path.įolding kayaks, inflatable kayaks, and packrafts are gaining a lot of talk lately because they’re easy to store and transport. Sure, you can rent a kayak, but over time that can make a significant dent in your wallet, and you have to operate around a rental company’s schedule. Likewise, if you don’t own a vehicle, transportation is next to impossible. If you live in a small space, it’s likely not feasible to store a traditional 12-foot kayak in your home. PM me if you want me to send you a CL listing I saw this weekend from my area.For most people that enjoy kayaking, the main drawbacks to owning one are storage and transportation. You could find them if you do a google search and/or reset your craigslist search parameters to the maximum distance. But he said he was rehabbing a boat and didn't need a kayak, so I happily bought it and never looked back. I will say that a bunch of REI team members gathered around as I unfolded and investigated it and were all like "holy shit, that deal!" To be honest, I started feeling guilty and offered to let the person helping me buy it because he worked through the whole pandemic and I said he honestly deserved it and I wanted him to take it if he wanted it. I don't think the store matters honestly, I think I got ridiculously lucky. It needed a new front faring, which I ordered from the website for $20. It retailed for $899, and was in the garage sale as "damaged" for $150. » Filter by Shorelines: Destination Questions & Trip Reports » Filter by News, Notices, & Announcements Beginner's Guide to Kayak Terminology - NRS.
