Current Designs Vision 135 R

A transitional kayak bridges the gap between a recreational boat and a dedicated touring kayak. It offers the stability and ease of use found in beginner models while incorporating performance features like a Swede form hull and soft chines that allow you to develop more advanced paddling skills.

Yes, it is designed to be very accessible. The stable hull design and keyhole cockpit make it easy to get in and out of, while the manageable 13.5-foot length provides a forgiving platform for those just starting to learn proper paddling techniques.

The Swede form hull—where the widest part of the boat is behind the cockpit—is designed to help the kayak glide efficiently through the water. This shape helps you maintain better speed and tracking compared to shorter, wider recreational kayaks.

Absolutely. The dual hatch system provides secure, dry storage for your gear, making it a capable choice for day trips or short overnight excursions where you need to pack extra supplies.

The Vision 135 R weighs 56 lbs. While it is durable due to its rotomolded polyethylene construction, it is relatively lightweight for a boat of this size, making it manageable for most people to load onto a roof rack or carry to the water's edge.

The soft chine design creates a rounded transition between the bottom and the sides of the hull. This makes the kayak feel predictable and smooth when you tilt or edge it, which is helpful when you are learning to maneuver or navigate slightly choppy water.
