It does this through a [modular design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conqueror-inflatable) that makes it exceptionally portable and easy to carry around for long distances. This new plastic kayak weighs 55 pounds and is 14 feet long when assembled, and is equipped with cargo sections at both the front as well as the rear. Once taken apart and its [six components nested together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collapsible-cart), it is only one meter long. It can then easily be stored and transported from place to place. Currently the subject of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-folding-kayak) campaign, the Bluefin 14 kayak will appeal to anyone looking for a more convenient way to get their kayak on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Kayak Design:** The use of modular components in kayak design presents opportunities for manufacturing and product customization. - **Portable Watercraft:** The development of lightweight and easily transportable watercraft is making water sports accessible to a wider audience. - **Crowdfunding for Sporting Goods:** Crowdfunding platforms offer new opportunities for innovative and niche sporting goods. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sporting Goods:** Manufacturers in the sporting goods industry should explore modular design and portability to meet changing consumer demands. - **Crowdfunding:** Entrepreneurs creating innovative and portable watercraft should consider the potential of crowdfunding platforms to fund and market their products. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry should embrace innovative designs that make outdoor activities more accessible to wider audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Featherweight Folding Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-folding-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) - [All-Black Foldable Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-kayaks.md) - [Highly Portable Origami-Style Canoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycanoe-solo-2.md) - [Portable Folding Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-folding-boat.md) - [Hybrid Inflatable Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isle-the-switch.md) - [Motorized Modular Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-boat.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleseater-kayak.md)
