Oru Coast

Makes kayaking a regular routine again

I’ve always loved kayaking, both whitewater and flat water , but don’t get to go regularly because storing a kayaking is challenging and I don’t have a car with a roof rack. Since getting my Oru Coast, I’ve been kayaking weekly on the river. I also look forward to kayaking the marshes and coastal areas when we head to the beach. It fits into my trunk easily and I can now assembly it in 15 minutes and disassemble it in less than 10 minutes. I assembled and disassemble the first time at home, which I highly recommend, and things went very smoothly when I went to the river the first time. The instruction video is excellent but watch it carefully a few times to get all the tips. Despite being portable, it is a high performance kayak which tracks very well and is both fast and stable. It is very well constructed and I expect it to last many years. I strongly suggest ordering the gel seat and gel back as this makes it even more comfortable. I strongly recommend the Oru Coast without reservation and hope you have a great time on the water.

Fantastic service

My third Oru. This last one had a broken coaming after just a few months of use. Oru came through by replacing the entire boat. Now THAT'S great service! The Coast is an serious (yet easy to use) sea kayak.

Try it you’ll like it

I like my boat. The few things I have thought of changing. One is putting the straps on the floor, that hold it on as the top of the box, so that they are farther down from the top. I think that they will hold it on better. Two, the plastic bulkhead retainers on the hull , one in particular, are not wide enough to except the bulkhead easily. They need made wider,or the bulkhead seals could be made narrower to make assembly easier and quicker. Once you get used to it the assembly is pretty slick. It tracks straight and maneuvers pretty much as well as my 13’ plastic light touring kayak.
