Description

While our Orca 17 sea kayak is for larger paddlers who might spend a week or two on the water, this sea kayak is for smaller paddlers in the 100 – 160 lb weight range (45 – 73 kg). It is not a simple scaling of the Orca 17 but a complete redesign. We flattened the aft deck more to keep the weight and windage down but kept the high peaked inverted V shaped foredeck that sheds waves so well. This boat will be fast and responsive and the lower windage and slightly less beam will help smaller paddlers keep up with a bigger kayak partner. It has a shallow V hull which provides good initial stability and will feel comfortable for a beginner. It will be best suited for day trips or up to week long tours.
