The two-seater kayak features the ability to be folded in two spots thanks to a strategically designed aesthetic that breaks the unit up into three distinct sections. This is achieved with two five-degree transversal cuts that allow the bow and stern of the body to collapse into the middle section for [easy storage in a vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-foldable). The 'Fina' kayak identifies what can be done to make aquatic exploration gear more applicable for travelers who require an easier option when sightseeing. The kayak was created after a trip to Venice where Borràs was interested in sailing the canals, but was unable to store a two-seater kayak behind her car without paying for a larger parking spot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Foldable Aquatic Vessels:** The trend of developing foldable aquatic vessels presents opportunities for more convenient and portable waterway exploration. - **Functional Travel Gear:** The trend of designing functional travel gear offers disruptive innovation opportunities for creating easier options for sightseeing. - **Compact Watercraft Design:** The trend of compact watercraft design opens up possibilities for developing space-saving solutions for storage and transportation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can capitalize on the trend of foldable aquatic vessels by creating innovative and compact watercraft for customers. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry has the potential to disrupt the market by incorporating functional travel gear into their offerings, catering to the needs of sightseers. - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore opportunities to collaborate with foldable aquatic vessel manufacturers to create vehicle storage solutions specifically designed for these products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Folding Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-folding-boat.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleseater-kayak.md) - [Collapsible Carbon Fiber Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/packable-kayak.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) - [Compact Packable Diver Fins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-fins.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) - [Stealthy Lightweight Origami Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oru-kayak-black-edition.md)
