Take a free online US Coast Guard Safety Course for canoeing, kayaking, and stand up paddling (SUP): https://cms.americancanoe.org/Online-Courses/Present/Paddlesports-Safety-Online-Course
In this video I'm testing out the Oru Kayak Inlet folding kayak. It's a portable recreational kayak that weighs 20 pounds and folds together like origami in under 5 minutes. Sounds great, but how does the Oru Kayak perform compared to other kayaks in its class and price range? Is it worth it? These are some of the questions that I'll answer in this detailed gear review.
