The team at Oru Kayak has created a unique origami folding canoe in the form of the Oru Kayak Haven which has been launched via Indiegogo this month and has already raised nearly $150,000. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the unique design of the tandem kayak created to provide an easily transportable foldable kayak for all your waterborne adventures.
The Oru Kayak Haven is not just any ordinary kayak; it is a marvel of modern engineering and design. By combining the ancient art of origami with contemporary materials and techniques, Oru Kayak has managed to create a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The kayak is designed to be easily folded and unfolded, making it incredibly convenient for transportation and storage. This is particularly beneficial for those who live in urban areas or have limited storage space.
Design and Versatility
“Our designers combined the ancient art of origami with everything they’ve learned from the past six years of designing foldable kayaks. The result is a tandem kayak that’s performance is as impeccable as its design and it’s portability unmatched. We’re also adding “versatility” to our toolbelt – the Haven easily converts to a single-seater kayak with the switch of a few buckles, for those times when you just want to fly solo for a bit. And the integrated rail system lets you add a ton of accessories for fishing, photography, picnics, or whatever else floats your boat.”
The versatility of the Oru Kayak Haven is one of its standout features. Whether you are an avid fisherman, a nature photographer, or someone who enjoys leisurely paddling, this kayak can be customized to meet your needs. The integrated rail system allows for the addition of various accessories, making it a versatile platform for a wide range of activities. This adaptability ensures that the kayak can be used in different environments and for different purposes, enhancing its overall utility.
Performance and User Experience
In terms of performance, the Oru Kayak Haven does not disappoint. The kayak is designed to offer excellent stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for both calm waters and more challenging conditions. The tandem design allows for two people to paddle together, making it a great option for couples or friends who enjoy outdoor activities. However, the kayak can also be easily converted into a single-seater, providing flexibility for solo adventures.
The user experience is further enhanced by the kayak’s lightweight construction. Weighing in at just 40 pounds, the Oru Kayak Haven is easy to carry and transport. This is a significant advantage for those who may have to carry the kayak over long distances or navigate difficult terrain to reach their paddling destination. Additionally, the kayak’s foldable design means that it can be easily stored in the trunk of a car or even in a closet, eliminating the need for a roof rack or additional storage space.
