The Oru Lake is a folding suitcase-style kayak is an absolute breeze to take with you just about anywhere and is a true marvel
There are plenty of inflatable kayaks and inflatable kayak deals on the market but folding kayaks are few and far between. The Oru Lake is a single-person folding kayak with a capacity of 250 pounds. It weighs just 17 pounds and is made of UV-treated double-layered polypropylene and has an impressive trick… it folds down into a large rectangle.
Oru Kayak Lake Foldable Kayak, was $499.00, now $398.98
Our technical editor, Fox Morgan tested this folding Oru kayak this summer and was impressed with how it performed. As such I’m more than happy to recommend this kayak deal. Of course $100 is not the biggest Black Friday deal you’ll find (and both the Oru Beach and Oru Bay have bigger discounts in Bass Pro’s Black Friday sales, but this is the one most likely to be used by those new to kayaking.
This Black Friday the Oru Lake is as cheap as I’ve seen it reduced to $398.98 in the Bass Pro Black Friday sale. This summer our technical editor, Fox Morgan tested it out and gave it a firm thumbs up.
We tested the Oru on the sea – albeit a pretty protected patch of water.
This is actually one of the cheaper options in Oru’s range but we think it is easily the best option in the range for the inexperienced paddler especially as it’s slightly shorter length making it slightly easier to manouver.
Waves are always going to be an issue with a folding kayak such as this and, as the name implies, it is best suited to lakes or calmer water.
