Rubber deck straps that are great for stowing your water bottle or extra warm layer. Our Coast series include full deckline rigging for water rescues and expedition outfitting.

Oru kayak seats are constructed with soft padded foam and covered in nylon fabric. The seat backs have adjustable heights and angles, for a personalized fit.

All "+" kayaks come with an integrated hatch behind the cockpit, with a screwtop lid. These day hatches are a great place to store a phone, camera, or lunch–3 liters, water resistant, and accessible while paddling

All “+” kayaks come with stainless steel ratchet buckles, similar to the ones used on alpine ski boots. These make it faster and easier to seal the deck and assemble the kayak.

Oru Kayaks have a relatively snug cockpit for increased control and seaworthiness. A raised coaming (cockpit rim) reinforces the structure and fits a spray skirt for use in rough water.

Bracing your feet on the footrest inside the hull helps keep you centered, trim, and comfortable. It's fully adjustable to accommodate paddlers of all sizes.

These sleeves at the bow and stern of all Oru Kayaks add extra protection, and help you slice efficiently through the water. They're made of neoprene and rubber for a tight fit and abrasion resistance, and include carrying handles.

Oru Kayaks have a rocker (curve of the hull) of 1.5" over the length of the boat. This creates great tracking, for straight and fast travel, while leaving enough maneuverability to edge for quick turns.

For added hull rigidity, all Oru Kayaks come with multiple bulkheads (perpendicular support pieces). While they aren't watertight, the compartments they create can be filled with Oru Float Bags for use in open water.
