Oru Kayak Bay ST Foldable Kayak Black

Kayaking Redefined
Meet the Oru Kayak Bay ST, an innovative lightweight folding kayak designed for both novice and seasoned kayakers. Its athletic and adaptable design is ideally suited for diverse aquatic environments, delivering both convenience and exceptional performance. Ideal for those seeking adventure without the bulk, it's the epitome of high-performance kayaking.

Portability Unmatched
Weighing in at a mere 26 pounds, the Bay ST Kayak elegantly folds from a full-sized 12'3" kayak to the dimensions of a large suitcase, epitomizing the ultimate compact travel kayak. This unparalleled portability allows for easy storage and transport, whether you're heading to the airport with the Oru Pack or trekking to a remote lake, making it the premier choice for explorers everywhere.

Crafted for Adventure
The Bay ST is crowning origami boat, adeptly handling calm lakes to the vigorous ocean waves. Its closed cockpit is spray skirt-compatible for open water adventures, ensuring a safe, enjoyable paddle. With its blend of speed and agility, it appeals to intermediate paddlers, while offering a stable ride for those newer to the sport.

Strength and Endurance
Constructed from 5 mm double-layered, custom-extruded polypropylene with a decade-long UV treatment, Oru Kayaks are synonymous with durability. This light but strong kayak resists punctures and abrasions with ease, capable of overcoming obstacles and enduring repeated folding without compromise.

Features

Seamless deck closure
4 zipper channels close and seal the deck. They're easy to install, watertight, and make a rock-solid deck once assembled.

Sturdy coaming
This is the fancy word for the rim around the cockpit - it reinforces the kayak and lets you wear a spray skirt for keeping safe and dry in open water. For 2021, we've upgraded to custom marine-grade aluminum latches to secure the two halves together.

Adjustable backrest
The fully adjustable backrest provides support and comfort for paddlers of all sizes. It can be lowered to accommodate a spray skirt.

Deck lines
No-stretch lines are easy to grab for safety. The bungee web in front of the cockpit is great for stashing a water bottle, small drybag, or other gear.
