Lake Starter Bundle

We just had the opportunity this week to try our Oru Lake Kayaks; we are sold on the foldable design! Five stars for the space-saving design, portability, the ease of folding and unfolding, and the time it saves us in transporting. Thank you for designing this foldable kayak so that older adults and those without a way to transport or store hard-shell models can enjoy the peaceful experience of exploring the waterways. We are thinking of purchasing an additional one so when our daughter visits, she can paddle with us. Because of your product, you’ve reopened a world to us that we thought was a distant memory. Thank you for that.

difficult first-time setup

The Lake was difficult to set up out of the box. Available materials from ORU do not all match the item as shipped (?did Oru modify the design of the Lake after they printed their assembly instructions and made their assembly video?). Once assembled - presuming I did it correctly - the Lake maiden voyage was a success: easy to paddle in calm water, and super-easy to pack up into the car when finished.

Absolutely perfect for hikers, not so great with any heavy waters, but perfect for lakes
