Oru Kayak is a San Francisco based company that manufactures high-performance, folding kayaks. Using patented technology and a lightweight skin, Oru kayaks can be stowed in a trunk, checked on a plane, and hiked into remote waters. This allows you to explore like never before—for an hour, afternoon, or full weekend adventure. In doing so, Oru Kayak aims to change the way you connect with water. Through innovative products and informative services, we hope to make paddling more convenient, fun, and freeing for everyone.We're a small company that designs and manufactures kayaks for use anywhere in the world. At the heart of Oru Kayak is a goal to inspire new paddlers to get on the water. Kayaking still lives in a very niche community, lacking the pull that most other outdoor categories have. We aim to change this through simple design, education, and clever products. Through a variety of models, we are able to offer safety, performance, and convenience to any level paddler.
