Added some fun gear for travels and we love the flexibility of these kayaks. 
F6-C86-E3-B-9-D15-4-CE7-AAC6-350358-B2-F

Carol chose the Inlet model 10’ long and weighs 20 lbs. I have the Beach model at 12’and 26 lbs.

Very well designed and assembly and stowing is very easy after a couple of outings. Average setup time 10 minutes and stowing slightly less. The folds are stiff on the first few assemblies but, become easy with usage. All the separate parts stow within the folded kayaks for easy of storage. Easily can transport in a car trunk or back seat area. We use these on trips with our FWC Grandby and fit inside for travel.

Disassembly very easy with colored instructions within the kayaks. Interior components are well designed and fully adjustable for your comfort. These kayaks are great for lakes and slow rivers and light waves.

These are a great option for taking on the road with limited cargo space. Another thing we like is that we don’t have conventional kayaks to transport on the FWC roof. The only negative on these is the cost, not cheap. Overall we love them and plan on using them on our FWC trips.

I'm able to see the images. Watched a couple of YT videos - great concept and design. If I wasn't already set up with both hard shells and IK's I would definitely give the Oru's a closer look!

You may not be holding your mouth right. Nice orange, black, and white folding kayak origami on my iPad.  :)

It’s either that, or iPadOS 14.6 isn’t.

 

What version are you on, Paul?

I’m thinking site software is not keeping up with Apple.

 

edit:  I downloaded FireWeasel, and no photos 

 

edit again:  in Safari I now see the images !  I don’t have an answer, it must be magic.
