Oru Bay

Oru Bay ST

Practiced set up and tear down 5 times. No problems. Been out on Huntington Harbor two times in moderate-to-heavy Santa Ana winds, no problems. I like the way the boat handles, its stability, and its responsiveness. I haven't found a comfortable setting for the backrest yet, but I'm sure that will come with time. So far, so good, Oru!

Perfect Solution

Purchased an Oru Bay ST to use while traveling in a high roof Sprinter Van. The convenience was great, no roof top loading, and the kayak performed very well. So we bought a second one.

Hi Oru folks: we took our new Bay kayak out onto the waters of McDonald Lake in Glacier NP and it performed really well. It glides thru the water smoothly (which my previous inflatable kayak did not do) and the ease to assemble and dis-assemble it was amazingly quick – even for newbies like me. I think the kayak tracks pretty well, but I’m thinking of buying the fin accessory to help keep it straighter. The kaya does take of getting used to with its rolling action when you get in/out of the kayak – it wants to roll on you and you’ve got to be well-balanced to get in and out w/o rolling over.
