Oru Coast XT Kayak

The Coast XT is designed for performance and touring, utilizing a rigid OruPlast™ polypropylene hull that handles chop and open water surprisingly well. While it feels different than a rotomolded kayak, its 16'2" length and integrated skeg provide excellent tracking and stability in oceans and lakes.

Yes, the assembly is designed for a single person and typically takes between 10 and 15 minutes once you are familiar with the process. The system uses secure aluminum cockpit latches and watertight zipper channels that lock the structure into place without needing extra tools.

Absolutely. Because the Coast XT folds down into a compact box measuring 33" x 16" x 29", it meets the size requirements for checked luggage on most major airlines. It is an ideal choice for paddlers who want to explore remote destinations without renting equipment.

The OruPlast™ polypropylene is engineered to be incredibly puncture-resistant and is rated for over 20,000 fold cycles. It is built to withstand the wear and tear of frequent assembly and disassembly, making it a robust option for regular use.

The Coast XT features 180 liters of storage capacity, which is substantial for a folding kayak. It is well-suited for day trips or light overnight expeditions, though you will want to use dry bags to organize your gear within the hull.

The kayak includes a modular seat system with an EVA or gel cushion that provides decent support for touring. If you plan on spending several hours on the water, you may find the adjustability helpful for dialing in your preferred posture.
