Oru Kayaks are a great idea, exceptionally well executed. I was looking for a second kayak, after buying an Oru Lake Sport. The Beach Sport with the new “zipper” seemed like a great product, and I don’t regret it one bit.

It is slightly more difficult to assemble than the Lake, but after a practice try with the video and manual, it’s pretty straight forward. On the water, it glides exceptionally well, and tracks great too. Once done, take down is only about 5-7 mins and it’s folded and in the car.

Love how versatile these kayaks are, great for small spaces.

As for OVAP, it’s a great, well appointed store with excellent staff. They patiently answered questions as I visited the location a few times looking and learning. While I didn’t use the trial process, I felt confident I was getting exactly what I wanted and needed. I highly recommend the store, and Oru!

Ottawa valley were very fast on delivery and matched oru canada. I am not sure i would pay the extra 400 for a beach sport oru kayak over the basic model. The "zipper " to hold deck together is fair quality. The track to hold gear or rods is cheap. Otherwise it is fun as a good weather kayak

This is my second oru kayak.My first one is over 10 years old. Great improvements.. It’s easier to fold and unfold. The Velcro on bulk head so cool.No more clips .I like this design better. My old was is amazing .. it has stood the test of time.. I bought one because I want to learn to fish. Thank you for such a wonderful product and staying in touch. Thank you from b.c. Sheila
