Oru Bay ST Folding Kayak

You can expect a setup time of 10 to 15 minutes once you are familiar with the folding process. It gets faster with practice, but plan for that initial window when you are first learning the folds.

Yes, the Bay ST accommodates paddlers up to 6'3". The cockpit dimensions are 16" by 30", providing enough room for taller users to sit comfortably.

Absolutely. The kayak features 90 liters of storage capacity, which is sufficient for packing gear for short overnight excursions. The removable bulkheads also help keep your belongings organized and secure.

The OruPlast material is UV-treated and specifically engineered for durability. While it is tough enough for most recreational water environments, you should still avoid dragging it over sharp rocks or jagged surfaces to maintain the integrity of the hull.

The Bay ST features a closed cockpit design, which helps keep you dry by preventing water from splashing into the seating area. However, it is not a fully sealed whitewater kayak, so some water may enter in very rough conditions.

The kayak weighs 26 lbs. Its lightweight construction, combined with the integrated fairing handles, makes it relatively easy to carry to the water's edge or transport in the trunk of a car.
