Anyone else use, or totally in love with portable kayaks? I am a proud and happy owner of an Oru Kayak Bay. They are a bit pricey, but are perfect when you're short on room, are lighter than conventional kayaks, and a notch more elegant in my reckoning.

I thought folding kayaks were enough. Boy was I surprised when I learned about Pakayak! Its sections nest into each other.

It's heavier than my Bay, at 55 vs. 26 lbs, but its heavier body would make it a better choice for white water, a no-go for Oru kayaks. I don't need a 2nd kayak, but will be getting a $10 sticker in Pakayak's ongoing Kickstarter. Best to encourage healthy competition I figure.

Maybe in the future Oru Kayak and Pakayak will be the Coke and Pepsi of portable kayaks. Since I've seen images of both in San Francisco Bay, I'd love if the companies and fans could get together some day for playful competitions and outdoorsmen's fellowship.

I love taking my Oru Bay on the river. It's light enough to be carried through the woods from my house and back, and always draws attention. Anyone else partake in the wonderful world of portable kayaks, or are conventional kayaks your preference?

Holy fucking shit, i need this.

The first one, what if it touches a midly sharp rock and gets a hole in it though?

The Oru's hull is made of coroplast, and can withstand an occasional graze when kayaking on calm water, so broad rivers or lakes are ideal. I've taken mine out a half dozen times; no problems so far. If you don't do white water kayaking which the Oru isn't designed for you should be in great shape.

Oru made a video where you can see them drop the kayak from a two-storey roof and doesn't sustain any damage a little Gorilla Glue won't fix. Also check the reviews it's received in various places; I don't remember any other users reporting the vulnerabilities you're concerned with either.

See you on the water!
