BACK(YAK) TO THE ROOTS: KLEPPER REINVENTS THE FOLDING KAYAK

A 5-in-1 solution for watersport enthusiasts

“2 backpacks full of adventure” is what Klepper Folding Kayaks promises. To be more precise, two backpacks full of five adventures! The Backyak is a multifunctional watersports device that can be (almost) anything you want: a two-seater kayak (kayak set), two monoplace kayaks (fun set), a raft with two hulls (relax set) or a little sailing catamaran (sailing set). And even enthusiasts of “frozen” watersports will get their fun because the modular set of the Backyak can also become a slide for wintertime in the snow version. And that’s not all! The whole fun sport equipment can be stowed and transported in two of the six parts of the kayak hull – thus transforming into two backpacks. Further equipment, such as sleeping bags, can be stored as well.

The developers of this watersport-wonder not only demonstrated incredible creativity, but also used high-end materials: The hull is made of light but solid carbon. As a result, the Backyak has an overall weight of just 20 kilos in the kayak version (which is really not much for a kayak of this size!) and of 30 kilos in the sailing catamaran version (ultra-light as well!). Fully rigged two adults plus one child (or more luggage) can be seated in the kayak.

Whether you like the versatile Backyak/pack or not is up to you. But one thing is sure: never before have five passions fit into two backpacks that easily.
