Oru Kayak Foldable Inlet

Oru Kayak Foldable Inlet

Description

Get out on the wide open water quickly and easily with the Oru Kayak Foldable Kayak Inlet. The Pro Bundle includes all the perfect accessories to enhance your paddling experience. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this kayak is perfect for casual kayaking on calm waters such as lakes, rivers, and bays.

Setting up this kayak is a breeze, taking less than 5 minutes to construct. Thanks to Oru's origami-inspired, foldable structure, you won't waste time with complicated assembly or struggle with transporting a bulky boat.

The Inlet kayak is not only sleek and stylish, but also durable and reliable. It is made from 5mm double-layered, custom-extruded polypropylene, making it incredibly puncture and abrasion-resistant. You can trust that this kayak is built to last. Its foldable design allows it to fit into the trunk of a small car, making it easy to transport when hiking, bicycling, or using public transportation.

The Pro Bundle includes all the essentials for any pro kayaker. You'll receive the Oru Fiberglass Paddle, featuring an asymmetrical blade for high-performance paddling. It breaks down into four pieces for easy storage. The Gel Seat is designed with an EVA foam upper and gel insert below to mold to your body shape for maximum comfort. The Oru Pack is made of rugged heavy-duty nylon and includes a comfortable shoulder and hip strap system. The Float Bags are made of abrasion and puncture-resistant coated nylon. Lastly, the Pro Bundle includes a 24 oz Water Bottle with double-wall insulation.

This origami kayak weighs only 20 lbs, half the weight of a traditional kayak. When folded, it becomes an unbelievably compact box measuring 42' x 10' x 18'. The cockpit size is 23' x 44', and it has a capacity for a maximum of 275 lbs. The recommended maximum paddler height is 6'2'.

Now, let's address some commonly asked questions about the Inlet kayak:

Can I use the Inlet model for winter/cold water? Absolutely! Of course, be sure to dress in warm clothes and always wear a PFD, but the boat itself will be fine in cold water.

When will Amazon start selling the Oru "Lake"? Their new kayak. Hi! We are thrilled to say that it's on its way, and while we don't have an estimated date, it will be available shortly!

Can the Inlet handle boat wake from passing boats? It would ultimately depend on the size of the wake. The Inlet is an open-cockpit kayak intended solely for calm water, but it is also a very stable kayak.

I want to order a new Oru Inlet kayak. Amazon offers this model in "like new" condition without any description. What does "like new" mean? I ordered the same. A "Like New" Oru Inlet at a discounted price. My kayak arrived 4 weeks before Oru could ship me a new one. (I think Amazon said to expect delivery in 2 weeks. It arrived in a week.) The box had obviously been opened and resealed. The kayak... I truly doubt that it had ever even been unfolded. And there’s no way it had been taken out. Except on a carpeted floor. Pristine and clean. I'd go for it. (I often order like new items. Seldom have I been disappointed. If so, it’s an easy return. Same as new.)
