Oru Kayak - The Inlet

Ready to Ship on a next day service!

The Inlet is, quite simply, for everyone. Designed to be played with on flat water, this model’s features speak to paddlers of all skill levels and needs across the board.

When not in use, the Inlet folds down into a box half the height of Oru's existing kayaks. Most of the new perks of this model can be attributed to the ingenuity of the shiny new fold pattern.

Redesigned for the first time in their history, this new design focuses on efficiency and will streamline your entire kayaking experience, from box to boat to water and back.

Care:
We recommend treating your Oru Kayak as you would a fibreglass, wood, or skin-on-frame kayak. Here are some guidelines:

• Avoid unnecessary dragging or bumping - use the carry handles to lift, instead of tugging it behind you
• Store out of direct sunlight - our boats have a 10-year UV treatment, but we still recommend sheltered storage
• Rinse the kayak thoroughly with fresh water after each use - sediment and salt that dry to the surface of the boat can be abrasive over time
• Oru kayaks are designed to be easily repairable if anything should wear out over time.
