Oru Lake Origami Kayak Review

Oru Lake The Lightest Origami Kayak Ever 

A simple, accessible, portable folding kayak that can go from box to boat in under a minute. 

They launched their company 10 years and 5 campaigns ago. Since then they’ve built two factories and 50,000 kayaks - but most importantly, they’ve sparked uncountable moments of joy, exploration and wonder. After a decade of real-world testing from 50,000 customers, they're back for their new adventure.

BACK TO THEIR ROOTS

To design their most ambitious model yet, they’ve gone back to their origami roots. They set out to eliminate everything extra- to capture the simplicity and elegance of folded paper in every line and curve.

So what does this get you? An elegant, minimal look - and way more than that.

All of their kayaks are made from a custom extruded, UV-treated plastic called OruPlast™. The material is a thicker custom-made version of the same plastic that postal service bins are made out of - and those things take a beating.

All of their Lake Kickstarter backers have been automatically entered to win an Oru Kayak!

At the close of the campaign, one lucky backer will receive an Oru Kayak of their choice from their lineup of ready-to-ship models. Choose from the Inlet, Beach LT, Bay ST, Coast XT or Haven TT to fit your adventures.
