Pakayak - The Ultimate Packable Kayak

PAKAYAK goes everywhere, stores anywhere.

Pakayak is the ultimate packable hardshell kayak. Go where you want, store it where you want, carry it on your back, take it in your convertible and paddle it just like a traditional hard-shell kayak. And, it's made in the U.S.A.

We think that kayaking is one of the best things you can do in your free time. Six inches off the shore and you are on an instant vacation. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to get your kayak, in most of the places that we live, to and from the water without a pickup truck, or a roof rack and a buddy to help you carry and lift your kayak. For those who live in the cities, it can be next to impossible.

So, we've developed the Pakayak. The Pakayak Bluefin 14 is a hard-shell 14-foot kayak that nests inside itself to 3 1/2 feet and packs into a bag.

We want you to enjoy a lifetime of worry-free paddling so we designed the Pakayak to exceed all of our requirements for strength, watertightness and product life. Each of the sections of our Pakayak connect with a tongue and groove interlocking shape that compresses a silicone gasket to insure a watertight, dry boat. Each tongue and groove intersection acts as a bulkhead to increase the hull strength at the connecting seams. The sections are held together by our patented clamping system.

Each clamp is rated to hold over 500 ft/lbs of force providing 2500 ft/lbs of force holding the Pakayak together at the cockpit and 2000 ft/lbs of force at the other sections. The silicone gasket is designed for years and years of use but in the event that it were to be torn or damaged, it can be replaced on the spot with no tools or glue.

These show our bomb-proof tongue and groove mating section and silicone seal. See how the clamp will look and work in the illustration video below. For a full description, please see the FAQs.
