Fina Foldable Kayak

Fina is a compact foldable kayak that can be neatly stored away when not in use. Conceived by industrial designer Cristina Borras, the beautiful two-seat kayak is aimed for calm waters. Built in plywood, the five-meter kayak collapses down into only two-meters long by effectively splitting the boat in three parts with clever construction and origami-like folding precision. Four hatch fasteners are strategically positioned to secure the prow and stern in place for sailing, and two ports give access to a storage space, allowing the removal of any excess moisture that could build over time in the two enclosed sections.

ORU KAYAK | ORIGAMI FOLDING BOAT

It is quick to assemble(only 5 min) and is fast, stable and handles incredibly well. The ambitious project is on kickstarter, and judging by the...
