Oru Kayak - Lake Sport
Love the "Lake" Oru Kayak from OVAP!
"Ordered my Oru Kayak (Lake) from OVAP, the ordering, shipping was very clear, and came within a few days of order (to Toronto). Have been using it a lot and love how light and easy set up is. Takes a bit of practise to get set up but really amazed by how well it handles on the water. And packing it up is super easy as well." - Nicole

Designed for ease without sacrificing performance, the Oru Lake Sport is your go-anywhere, paddle-anytime companion. Its innovative folding design assembles in about a minute, meaning less time setting up and more time exploring. At just 18 lbs, it’s incredibly portable—perfect for apartment dwellers, weekend adventurers, or anyone who wants the freedom to get on the water without the hassle of roof racks or storage constraints.
Comfort meets thoughtful engineering in the Sport Edition upgrades. The integrated folding floorboard creates a stable, flat base, while the clamshell seat system—with adjustable backrest and enhanced cushioning—keeps you supported during longer paddles. A spacious cockpit gives you room to stretch out or even bring along a small companion, making every outing feel relaxed and personal.
Built with Oru’s advanced OruPlast™ material, the Lake Sport is tough enough for repeated adventures yet flexible enough to fold thousands of times without compromise. Paired with a removable skeg for improved tracking and maneuverability, it delivers a smooth, stable ride on flat water—ideal for beginners and seasoned paddlers looking for a minimalist, grab-and-go experience.

Here's What some of our customers are saying
Absolutely perfect!
“The price was the same as if I had bought directly from the company, plus I saved the importation fees. So you are much better off buying from Ottawa Valley Air Paddle. And the kayak is amazing, it takes 2 minutes to assemble and disassemble, and it is lighter and much faster than my former inflatable one.”

The entire experience was fabulous from start to finish
“We are so impressed with Ottawa Valley Air Paddle. This is our second Bay St. We ordered the first one directly from ORU. This time we saved on shipping from the US and the price of the kayak was significantly less than Amazon. The entire experience was fabulous from start to finish. High recommend working with Scott and Lana. They are knowledgable, seem to genuinely care about the customers, and offer service that is exceptional.”

The Essence of Origami
Clean and minimal lines evoke the purity and elegance of folded paper. The Lake pays homage to our origami roots in its simple and ease-to-use design.
Small and Mighty
Foldable, portable, storable. Our smallest model with the same materials and durability of our expedition models to keep you kayaking summer after summer. All of our kayaks are made from a custom extruded, UV-treated plastic called OruPlast™.
Simple and Easy
We set out to eliminate everything extra - to capture the simplicity and elegance of origami in every line and curve. Fold out, buckle in and you're good to go. The Lake only has one removable part.
