Ultralight Kayak Review – Boreal Designs Storm 17 Tested!

In this video, we take an in-depth look at the Boreal Designs Storm 17 Ultralight, a lightweight touring kayak designed for serious paddlers who want speed, stability, and performance in a compact, lightweight package. I put the Storm 17 to the test during a 5-day sea kayaking trip on Georgian Bay to see how it handles real-world conditions — covering everything from tracking and maneuverability to comfort and build quality. Whether you’re planning extended kayak trips or just want a high-performance touring boat that’s easier to transport, this review will help you decide if the Storm 17 is the right kayak for you.
