Origami Boat

03.06.2013 -

The Oru Kayak is a high-performance boat that folds out of a compact case. Its designer Anton Willis - inspired by origami - began creating this folding kayak after a move into a small San Francisco apartment forced his fiberglass kayak into storage.

The full-size (12' long), and super light (25 lbs) Oru Kayak is engineered of a single sheet of double-layered plastic that is extremely tough and durable. The single seam is sealed with a watertight rubber gasket. Solid ribs offer strength and rigidity.

On the water it's fast, stable, and handles well. Folded and stowed in the case it can be stashed in a trunk, checked on a plane or even carried on a hike to remote waters. The Oru Kayak's easy foldability transforms boating from a special occasion to anytime, anywhere.
