Bay ST Folding Kayak

Bay ST Folding Kayak

With our newest iteration we've added a bunch of great features to the product that launched Oru Kayak— a closed-cockpit performance kayak that's sporty, versatile, and light. We've made it even more durable, with new aluminum cockpit latches and extra-reinforced strap anchor points. Its updated print pattern is all about going back to our origami roots. The Bay ST is built for a wide variety of water types and conditions and holds enough gear for overnight trips.

A 12'3" kayak that folds down to the size of a large suitcase. At 26 pounds, it's far lighter than a rotomolded kayak. It’s compact enough to store almost anywhere. With the Oru Pack, you can even check it on a plane or hike into the wilderness.

The Bay ST is our most versatile origami boat. It can handle conditions from smooth lakes to ocean surf. The closed cockpit can be used with a spray skirt for open water paddling. It's best for intermediate and advanced paddlers, who will appreciate its speed and agility — but beginners with a few paddles under their belt will also love this model.

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. They can withstand sliding over rocks, bumping into obstacles, and folding up tens of thousands of time.
