A few month ago I bought a foldable oru kayak. I have been testing it on a small lake and a river and it is amazing. People laugh when they see the box because it is difficult to imagine that it can be unfolded to a kayak. But it unfolds to a great kayak. Although it is not very heavy, it is still very large and not practical to take on a bus. But with the ocean right outside the door this should not be a problem.
