Product Features

HDPE Rigid Construction - This kayak is blow-moulded from High Density Polyethylene. HDPE is impact-resistant and holds its shape under pressure. That means it won't buckle or flex on rocky riverbanks. It's built for repeated use not just the occasional outing and handles knocks far better than inflatable alternatives. 110kg Weight Capacity - The hull supports up to 110kg. That covers most adult paddlers with room for kit. Exceeding a kayak's weight limit affects stability and buoyancy, so knowing this figure matters. At 110kg this is a practical limit for a solo paddler with a small amount of gear on board. Four Drain Plugs - Water getting into the hull is a real concern on a sit-on-top kayak. The four drain plugs allow water to drain out quickly and help maintain buoyancy. They're a straightforward but genuinely important safety feature particularly for beginners who may take on water more frequently.

Backrest Included - A backrest is supplied as standard. Without one, long paddling sessions put strain on the lower back. The backrest supports your posture and reduces fatigue. This is especially useful for people new to kayaking who haven't yet built up the core strength needed for extended time on the water. Bungee Cord Storage System - Two sets of bungee cords are fitted to the deck. These let you secure dry bags, water bottles or other kit directly to the kayak without needing a hatch. It's a practical solution for keeping essentials within reach while keeping the deck clear and your belongings from going overboard. Optional Trolley - The kayak weighs 18.5kg. That's manageable for two people but awkward solo especially over uneven ground to a launch point. The optional trolley lets you wheel the kayak from your car to the water without dragging it. Dragging causes scratches and wear to the hull over time.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this kayak can hold?

The kayak has a stated weight capacity of 110kg. This is the total load the hull is designed to support safely meaning the paddler plus any gear they bring on board. If you're close to that limit, factor in the weight of clothing, footwear and any kit you plan to carry. Staying within the limit is important for both stability and buoyancy.

How long and wide is this kayak?

The kayak measures 2.55m in length, 0.75m in width and 0.27m in height. The 2.55m length makes it a compact solo kayak easy to transport on a roof rack and manageable in tighter waterways. The 0.75m width gives a stable platform, which is helpful for beginners getting used to balancing on the water.

What material is the kayak made from?

It's manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) using a blow-moulding process. HDPE is a robust plastic widely used in kayak construction because it resists impact, handles UV exposure reasonably well and doesn't corrode. It's heavier than some composite materials but far more affordable and durable for everyday recreational use on rivers and lakes.

Does the kayak come with a paddle?

A paddle is not included by default. You have the choice at the point of purchase to add a paddle to your order. If you already own a suitable paddle this keeps the cost down. If you're buying your first kayak and don't have one, selecting the paddle option saves you sourcing one separately and ensures you can get on the water straight away.

What safety standards does this kayak meet?

This kayak conforms to the 2001/95/EC General Product Safety Directive and EN ISO 25649-1:2017. EN ISO 25649 is the international standard specifically covering floating leisure articles for use on and in the water. Meeting this standard means the product has been assessed against defined safety requirements for buoyancy articles giving you a baseline level of confidence in its construction and safety.

How heavy is the kayak and can one person carry it?

The kayak weighs 18.5kg. One reviewer noted that at 73 years old she found it too heavy to lift alone. For most fit adults it's manageable over short distances but awkward on uneven ground. The optional trolley is worth considering if you need to move it any distance from your vehicle to the water. Dragging the kayak risks scratching the hull.

Will the kayak arrive with scratches or marks on it?

The product listing states clearly that due to storage and transport, kayaks may arrive with scratches and surface defects. The manufacturer notes this does not affect the kayak's performance or use in any way. It's worth being aware of this before ordering. One customer review also noted that delivery handling caused some additional scuffing due to the weight of the item during transit.

What colours are available and can I choose?

The kayak is available in five colours: red, green, blue, yellow and orange. You select your preferred colour at the point of purchase. All colours are the same kayak in terms of specification the choice is purely aesthetic. If you're buying for a group or family, having different colours can also make it easier to identify kayaks on the water.
