Features & Tech

Buckle-closure system

Side-release buckles are super easy, intuitive, and everyone that’s ever had a backpack knows how to use ‘em. Simple to clip and tighten for all levels of strength.

Adjustable footrest

With a fully adjustable footrest, tightening or loosening straps to adjust length is a cinch. It provides maximum comfort for any paddler height.

Adjustable backrest

A fully adjustable backrest provides support for taller and more petite paddlers. Simply loosen the knob on the rear of the seat to slide the backrest to the desired height.

Fairing

Fairings allow the kayak to more easily cut through the water.

Product Highlights

At 20 pounds, you can store the Inlet just about anywhere. It’s compact enough to stash in your trunk, closet, boat or garage, and lightweight enough to bring with you everywhere. You can check it on a plane or hike into remote waters with the Inlet Pack.

On the water, the 10 foot Inlet is stable, but also nimble and playful. It’s intended for use in calm water - think mirror-smooth lakes, rivers, and streams. Its large, open cockpit is perfect for paddles with a dog or small child. Best for first-time paddlers and beginners, but all levels will enjoy this recreational kayak.

Durability

Our boats are lightweight but extraordinarily strong. They're created from 5 mm double-layered, custom-extruded polypropylene with a 10-year UV treatment. Translation?  Oru Kayaks are incredibly puncture + abrasion resistant and built to last. With a super tough hull, they can withstand sliding over rocks, bumping into obstacles, and they are rated to 20,000 fold cycles.
