What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the big win is storage and transport. It rides in a car trunk and carries like a large bag. Paddling Magazine calls it a crossover between a recreational boat and a day tourer, faster and longer than a typical rec kayak. Most say folding and unfolding takes some practice the first few times, and the maker's videos help. Several warn it needs flotation bags because it has no sealed bulkheads. Views differ on rough water, so treat it as a calm and moderate water boat.
Good
- Folds into a box that fits in a trunk or closet
- Light for a 12-foot hardshell
- Tracks and glides better than short rec kayaks
- No roof rack needed
Not so good
- Expensive for a recreational kayak
- Setup has a learning curve
- Needs flotation bags for safety after a capsize
- Narrower 25-inch beam feels less stable to first-timers
Who it's for
Apartment dwellers, travelers and RV campers who want a capable day kayak that stores small. Skip it if you want a cheap, stable boat for the kids to bang around the lake.
