Is the Hurricane Osprey 109 the ultimate recreational kayak? In this video, I take an in-depth look at the Hurricane Osprey 109 and compare it to the larger Hurricane Osprey 120. While the two kayaks share the same name, they offer different experiences on the water, and after spending time paddling the Osprey 109, I came away with some surprises. If you’re looking for a comfortable, lightweight kayak that’s easy to transport, easy to paddle, and designed for relaxed days on the water, the Osprey 109 might be exactly what you’re looking for. But there's no such thing as a perfect kayak! And so in this review I’ll cover the strengths, weaknesses, and who I think this kayak is best suited for. #KayakReview #HurricaneKayaks #RecreationalKayak #Kayaking #PaddleTV Like this video | Subscribe to PaddleTV | Check out @KenWhitingAdventures If you find my videos helpful, you can support the channel here: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/KenWhiting In this video: 00:00 Intro to Hurricane Osprey 109 03:15 Osprey 109 vs Osprey 120 07:15 Osprey 109 Review - Portability and Accessibility 08:25 Performance and Stabilty of Osprey 109 10:57 How comfortable is the Osprey 109 12:49 Is the Osprey 109 good value? 13:45 Is the Osprey 109 a durable kayak? 14:35 Who is the Osprey 109 kayak for? 16:45 What are the differences between the Osprey 109 and 120?
