Oru Kayak Lake

Oru have presented their lightest, sleekest (and cheapest) folding kayak ever! The popular origami-inspired kayak has been sized down for the everyday commute, and takes it from the trunk of your car to floating on the water in just 2 minutes. The nine-foot-long Oru Kayak Lake weighs only 18 pounds but can hold up to 250 pounds of paddler and gear. The real magic though is that the whole thing folds up into a neat box shape, just like origami. The Lake is available for pre-order on Kickstarter and is set for delivery this August. watch the video below
