I would think that this is especially true for things that float but… alas. Here is a [folding kayak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpacka-raft) by Folbot Edisto. It literally folds up and [fits into a bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-pacific-huckpack-duffel-bag)… like one of [those chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldseat) with the beverage holders. Get yours at Folbot for about $1,800 USD. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Foldable Technology:** The folding kayak by Folbot Edisto showcases the growing trend of foldable technology, offering convenience and portability. - **Compact Mobility:** The compact design of the Folbot Edisto folding kayak taps into the trend of compact mobility, allowing for easy transportation and storage. - **Outdoor Recreation Innovation:** The Folbot Edisto folding kayak represents an innovative solution within the outdoor recreation industry, catering to the needs of adventurous individuals who value convenience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Recreational Equipment:** The folding kayak market within the recreational equipment industry offers an opportunity for companies to tap into the demand for compact and portable water sports gear. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can explore partnerships with folding kayak manufacturers to promote unique adventure experiences for travelers seeking convenient and easily transportable water activities. - **Outdoor Gear Retail:** Retailers specializing in outdoor gear can capitalize on the trend of foldable technology by offering a range of innovative products, such as folding kayaks, to cater to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Highly Portable Origami-Style Canoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycanoe-solo-2.md) - [All-Black Foldable Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-kayaks.md) - [Featherweight Folding Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-folding-kayak.md) - [Collapsible Carbon Fiber Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/packable-kayak.md) - [Stealthy Lightweight Origami Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oru-kayak-black-edition.md) - [Blacked-Out Origami Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oru-kayak-1.md) - [Flatpack Oceanic Lifeboats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-and-rescue-lifeboat.md) - [Folding Electric Catamarans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iziboat.md) - [Hybrid Inflatable Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isle-the-switch.md)
