Oru Kayak

Oru Kayak reinvented paddling with their origami-inspired folding kayaks—lightweight, portable, and ready to go wherever adventure calls. Designed in California and manufactured in Mexico, Oru kayaks are made from durable, double-layered polypropylene and fold down into a compact box that’s easy to carry, store, and transport. Whether you're tight on space or just want the freedom to paddle without a roof rack, Oru makes it possible.

At Ottawa Valley Air Paddle, our most popular model is the Oru Lake—a minimalist, ultra-light kayak that weighs just 17 lbs and sets up in under five minutes. Its affordability, simplicity, and surprising stability make it the go-to choice for casual paddlers, travelers, and anyone looking to hit the water with zero hassle.

For those who want a bit more space and versatility, the Oru Beach delivers. With a larger cockpit, padded seat, and higher weight capacity, it’s great for longer, relaxed outings on flatwater. Both the Lake and Beach models reflect Oru’s commitment to accessibility and innovation, helping more people experience the joy of paddling—no matter where they live or how they travel.
