Oru Bay ST Folding Kayak

Sporty, Lightweight, and Built for Versatile Performance

The Oru Bay ST is a sleek, closed-cockpit performance kayak designed for speed, stability, and versatility across multiple water conditions. Perfect for both new and experienced paddlers, it offers a sporty yet balanced ride that handles everything from calm lakes to coastal waters. The Bay ST provides enough storage for short overnight trips and delivers the same efficient glide and control found in traditional touring kayaks — all in a foldable, ultra-light design.

Compact and Easy to Transport

At just 26 pounds, the Bay ST is far lighter than traditional rotomolded kayaks, yet it maintains exceptional durability and performance. When folded, it becomes the size of a large suitcase (33" × 14" × 29"), making it compact enough to store in a car trunk, closet, or garage. With the optional Oru Pack, it’s even travel-ready — check it on a plane or carry it into remote backcountry waters. Assembly takes 10–15 minutes, allowing you to go from box to boat with ease.

High-Performance Design for All Skill Levels

The Bay ST is Oru’s most versatile origami kayak, ideal for paddlers who want one boat that can handle a range of environments. Its closed cockpit supports a spray skirt, keeping you dry during open-water adventures. Intermediate and advanced paddlers will love its speed, precision, and agility, while confident beginners will appreciate its stability and responsive handling as they progress.
