Oru Kayak
Sam Kaplan
Foldable kayaks are like jigsaw puzzles: They take a long time to assemble and provide lasting frustration. The Oru is the first folding performance kayak that can be assembled in less than five minutes. Users simply bend the plastic shell in an easy-to-follow pattern; the boat’s two seams fold in on themselves and lock by hand. There are no bolts or screws—so none to lose—and the kayak fits back into a card-table-size case at day’s end.
