Canoe Float Bags

Hi! I ’ m practicing putting it together... In my apartment. The assembly will take some a extended practice, so I ’ m not rushing it. I know I ’ m going to like this kayak! Can ’ t wait to once again, be on the water. So, next early Spring is my goal.

The kayak pack legitimately makes this kayak packable. Comfortable and light enough to get the job done.

We took our Oru Kayaks out of the box on the shore of String Lake, Grand Teton NP, with directions in hand and gathering onlookers anticipating the final form of our clever unfolding. The first attempt was frustrating. I might have said a swear word or two. However, the second kayak emerged more easily and lacked the initial assembly drama. Those interested in our maiden voyage were delighted to see how light the boats were and how easily we launched them. After sliding into the water, my first stroke shot the boat forward and I knew I was in for a great day of paddling. My wife and I simultaneously commented about how easily the boats paddled and how responsive they were. As a side note, thank you very much for supplying a decent paddle in your package. It paddled as well as my trusty Werner paddle and broke down better. The first test came at the north end of String Lake where we had to portage the boats a quarter mile to Leigh Lake. At 26 pounds apiece, we easily carried both Oru boats together. On a previous trip to this same destination, we carried 65 pound plastic kayaks individually over the portage, which means we walked a mile with more weight, instead of a quarter mile with lighter Oru boats. Paddling Leigh Lake was a dream. Even in light chop from an afternoon gust, the Oru Kayaks paddled great! Our heavier, plastic ocean kayaks totally out perform the Oru kayaks on our home waters of Monterey Bay, but they don ’ t come close to the convenience, compact storage, and light weight we need for packing in our trailer and heading out to lakes in the northwest. The best part: I didn ’ t buy have to buy a kayak rack for the cab of my truck, which my wife isn ’ t tall enough to reach anyway, for two folding kayaks that fit snugly in the truck bed. Thank you for a pair of really fun kayaks. More adventures to follow…

The Coast XT with Carbon Paddle is great. The learning curve was a little steep for putting it together but now I have the hang of it. It maneuvers well and is fast in the water. The cockpit is comfortable and the black color looks cool. I ’ ve only been out once so far but am happy with it. It ’s also much lighter than my previous kayak which works well for me.

Got the pack to make carrying my Beach and Coast easier and it does not disappoint. Very happy with my Oru ’s.
