Oru Kayak Inlet
We believe everyone deserves to experience the relaxation of a day on the water, surrounded by the wonders of nature, whether boating solo or spending time with those who mean the most. Thanks to Oru Kayak’s keen attention to the smallest details and innovative engineering, boating is now more accessible than ever before.
With our lightweight, foldable kayaks, every lifestyle can include kayaking. Wherever your next destination is, your Oru Kayak is ready to go the distance.
The Original Origami Kayak
A 9’8″ kayak that folds down to an unbelievably compact box. At 20 pounds, this origami kayak weighs half of a traditional kayak. It’s compact enough to store in your car trunk (two even!), or anywhere else. It’s stable, but also nimble and playful. Intended for use in calm water — think mirror-smooth lakes, rivers, and streams. Its large, open cockpit is perfect for paddles with a dog or small child. Perfect for first-time paddlers and beginners, but great for anyone who wants a boat on the go.
