Trip Overview
I took my new foldable Oru Kayak out for the first time on Bark Lake, a nice local lake suitable for kayaking/canoeing, fishing, and leisure.
It took a bit assembling it the first time, but I can see going forward it'll only take about 5-7 minutes.
It was sunny in the seventies, with a 12mpg south-western wind as I paddled along the shore and then inward.
On
the northeast section of the lake the wind and current where the
strongest, but the Oru Kayak performed wonderfully- it was stable,
swift, and cut through the water as I paddled.
The kayak is quite
seaworthy; feeling just like a standard kayak, only more comfortable. I
have the Beach LT Sport model which is 12 feet long. It navigated
smoothly, cutting a straight line. Plenty of room to stretch out (this
model has a wider opening), and take a break or do some tanning.
I feel one could actually take off the back rest, pop up a tent canopy, and sleep in it!
All in all, a wonderful product giving a great experience!
