The Oru Kayak Black Edition has been designed by Anton Willis as a compact watercraft that will provide avid outdoor enthusiasts with a demure option to incorporate into their gear roster. The kayak comes in at just 25-pounds yet is capable of supporting up to 300-pounds and will collapse down into a unit that fits neatly into a small suitcase. The unit can be assembled for use in just five-minutes flat and will offer impressive handling on the water.
The Oru Kayak Black Edition maintains a stealthy finish that is paired with a carbon paddle along with a seat wedge, a set of float bags and a waterproof backpack. Available starting January 14, 2022, the kayak is priced starting at $1,747.
