Oru kayak
Just bought oru beach more of a rec version more stable and can fit my jack russel in it. I get it next week ! Very excited to take it camping and paddle around some lakes / quiet water. I think I will keep my sea kayak for longer open water trips.

Let us know, I have looked at them but don't know the quality of construction. Check out the cool light you can put in it

I've had the modular tandem from LLBean a number of years. Never had a bit of trouble with it.

that is the bay its nice too. The beach is more open and a little wider- you cannot use a spray skirt with the beach but you can with the bay. I got the beach because it is more open to fit dogs /fishing etc and a bit more stable. The bay is a more traditional kayak. Depends on what you are looking for...

gocamp, that Pakayak is cool! Did some digging on the 'net. Sounds like they'll be launching in June. I wonder how much they'll be under the "launch discount". I'm looking at a new tow vehicle, and roof racks have been a requirement - may not anymore??!?

Pakayak is 5 days into a Kickstarter campaign and over 25% of the way to their goal, if anyone is interested in checking it out. I'm going to give it a try - not cheap, but neither is a new set of roof racks!

Tried my Oru kayak at the rally worked great very light and stable my little Jack Russell-fig loved it! The new Pakayak looks interesting but I'm really happy with my Oku beach. Let me know how yo like it if you order one - its so nice to not have to load it on top of your car!
