For 2021 ORU Kayak added a bunch of great features to the product that launched Oru Kayak— a closed-cockpit performance kayak that's sporty, versatile, and light. We've made it even more durable, with new aluminum cockpit latches and extra-reinforced strap anchor points. Its updated print pattern is all about going back to our origami roots. The Bay ST is built for a wide variety of water types and conditions and holds enough gear for overnight trips.
Features:
- A 12 foot kayak that folds down to the size of a large suitcase.
- At 26 pounds, it's far lighter than a rotomolded kayak.
- It’s compact enough to store almost anywhere.
- With the Oru Pack, you can even check it on a plane or hike into the wilderness.
- The Bay ST is our most versatile boat.
- It can handle conditions from smooth lakes to ocean surf.
- The closed cockpit can be used with a spray skirt for open water paddling.
- It's best for intermediate and advanced paddlers, who will appreciate its speed and agility — but beginners with a few paddles under their belt will also love this model.

ORU Kayak boats are lightweight but extraordinarily strong. They're created from 5 mm double-layered, custom-extruded polypropylene with a 10-year UV treatment. Translation? Oru Kayaks are incredibly puncture + abrasion resistant and built to last. They can withstand sliding over rocks, bumping into obstacles, and folding up tens of thousands of time.
