The TRAK Kayak might be one of the most versatile touring kayaks in the world — but that doesn’t mean it’s the right kayak for everyone. I first reviewed the TRAK several years ago with one big question in mind: is this really the “Ultimate Touring Kayak”? After years of paddling it in everything from calm water to rough conditions, surf, and even big whitewater, I have a pretty clear answer — but the more important question is whether the TRAK is the right kayak for you. In this video, I’ll break down who should seriously consider buying a TRAK kayak, who probably shouldn’t, and why this unique folding touring kayak can be a lifetime boat for the right paddler. Whether you’re an adventurous beginner, an experienced sea kayaker, a traveler, or someone looking for one kayak that can grow with your skills, this video will help you decide if the TRAK belongs on your shortlist.
