Oru Kayak - Bay ST
On the water.... fast!
"We are so impressed with Ottawa Valley Air Paddle. We ordered our ORU Bay St kayak and it arrived in just a few days. 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 OVAP." - Catherine
Oru Kayak - Bay ST
🍁Ships From Within Canada🍁
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 the Oru Nylon 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.
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.

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.”

Seamless deck closure
4 zipper channels close and seal the deck. They’re easy to install, watertight, and make a rock-solid deck once assembled.
Sturdy coaming
This is the fancy word for the rim around the cockpit — it reinforces the kayak and lets you wear a spray skirt for keeping safe and dry in open water. For 2021, we've upgraded to custom marine-grade aluminum latches to secure the two halves together.
Adjustable backrest
The fully adjustable backrest provides support and comfort for paddlers of all sizes. It can be lowered to accommodate a spray skirt.
Deck lines
No-stretch lines are easy to grab for safety. The bungee web in front of the cockpit is great for stashing a water bottle, small drybag, or other gear.
