Oru Coast
Best portable kayak for adventurers tackling open water and long expeditions.
This is the rare folding boat that actually handles open water with the speed and tracking of a rigid sea kayak. You sacrifice the immediate rigidity of a traditional hull, but you gain the freedom to hike into remote launch points and store your entire expedition vessel in a closet.
