Origami is cool, but if I’m a kayaker, I want the real deal. This looks like a bigger hassle than the real deal too. Sheesh!

I really do like the fold-up aspect but most people with kayaks either live close by to the waters, already have their cars fixed for carrying one and/or love to go nuts with it in wild waters (which I doubt this one could handle). Regardless it shows potential. Good job.

More like a canoe as far as sportsmanship. I would not use this for my regular Kayaking. No way! LOL

I live in NYC and I would buy two of these. Amazing. Exactly what I’m looking for.

3 things about it:
1) Transportability – enjoy it as a real kayak on water
2) Space Saver – fold it, put it in the car or under bed
3) Transportability – as folded, easy carry over land
