This is a bag, in it, there's the ultimate touring kayak; you might think to
yourself, wow that's a small bag, you probably mean the ultimate folding kayak?
No, we mean to ultimate touring kayak, and it's not just because it's a real
touring kayak, one that allows you to go on short paddles and longer multi-day
tours, but also tour the world. It's the ultimate touring kayak because
it's the best touring kayak on water too. Yep, we're confident. How do you go about
creating the ultimate touring kayak? Well, you talk to paddlers, and ask them what
would make it the best; luckily for us, with over ten years of experience in
building kayaks, we also have quite a few customers to ask. Here are the results of
the survey, we gave thousands of paddlers: 91.5% said that the quality of materials
is the most important aspect, over 90% demanded durability, then there was
comfort, performance, ease of transport, versatility, and pretty.
Don't worry one guy, we made it pretty, pretty awesome. Our inspiration for the
Trak 2.0 was the original Inuit Kayak; only, and we say this with the utmost
respect, ours is greatly enhanced by modern technology; our skin is military
grade material, engineered over a carbon fiber and aircraft aluminum frame, the
result is a kayak that can fit in this bag, while being more durable and impact
resistant, than hard-shell kayaks. It's super tough. How tough? Tough enough to last
ten years in any condition. Did we punch it enough? Let's punch it again.
So there you have it: quality and durability, check.
Our surveyors of paddlers, also really cared about performance, that's what
makes a great touring kayak; while the Trak not only performs incredibly well,
it is also the only kayak that can change it's shape to accommodate
conditions and alter the water line, making it paddle like a shorter, more
maneuverable kayak, or a longer, faster touring kayak; that makes for many kayaks
in one. As for setup, it only takes ten minutes, really.
And as for ease of transport, you already saw the bag it goes into, and you already
agreed, it's small enough to fit in any car and light enough to carry on a train,
and yes, you can take it on a plane, we have.
Now for the extra things we took on,
the Trak is customizable and super comfortable; it's deck outfitting and deck
storage bags are modular; yes, it's all around pretty awesome. To make all this a
reality, we've been working with an amazing team of engineers, from some of
Canada's and the World's best organizations. So, yes, this is a small bag and it holds
inside it, the world's most incredible touring kayak: one you can grab from your room,
pack on your back, take anywhere in the world, and paddle on any water; with your
mind at ease, that you're ready for whatever lies ahead, that's a real touring
kayak. So, if you're an adventurer, that won't settle for anything but the best,
get a Trak, and discover the ultimate touring kayak: Trak.
To me, boats represent freedom, expanding horizons and great adventures. I grew up
kayaking the rivers and coast of Northern California, but when I moved to
the city, I couldn't fit a kayak into my apartment. So I started thinking, "what if
a boat could fold away like origami"? What if you could take it on journeys, not
only in the water, but anywhere you wanted to go. After four years of design
development, our team is excited to introduce an origami kayak: this is the
Oru Kayak. It's a folding boat that packs into a compact case; it's fast, it's stable,
and it handles incredibly well; it's perfect for paddling on bays, lakes, and
rivers, and is an amazingly easy and fun way to explore the great outdoors.
If you prefer, and you have the right skills, it can take you on some real
adventures, or it lets you discover your city, from a new perspective. Our team of
designers, engineers, and manufacturing experts, has built more than 20
prototypes and hundreds of models; each Oru Kayak, is made of a single seamless
sheet of corrugated plastic, we've designed all the connections, to be
simple and intuitive, so it's easy to assemble and to pack away; we've done a lot
of engineering and on the water testing, to make sure the Oru Kayak is strong,
durable, and most importantly, safe. Now, we're excited to take Oru Kayak's out
into the world. We need your help, your support will mean we can set up the
first production run of Oru Kayak's, you can help us by pre-ordering an Oru
Kayak, or by pledging for some of our other great rewards, and of course, by
sharing with your friends. Join us, to get Oru Kayak's off the ground and into the water.
Hi, I'm Derek, the Designer of Kayacat.
Basically, the challenge for me, in the last few years, was to come up with the
most practical versatile watercraft in the world; it's a multi-mode watercraft, with
great performance, it weighs next to nothing, it's great at handling luggage on the
plane; you can roll it, paddle it, like a kayak, sail it, put an electric motor on, stand up paddle, it
does everything; carry it with you in a backpack, the cyclist can take your bike on
board too. Kayacat is versatile, lightweight, and compact, made with
high-tech materials, which means no cheap PVC. It is comfortable and enjoyable and
easy to use, easy to set up and pack away; it's also
very strong and stable, but also affordable, and it's for everyone to use.
It does everything and there's nothing else on the market like it.
I'm very happy to introduce the Kayacat, I hope you enjoyed the video,
you're going to like it.
