Innova Seaker 1 Kayak

Innova Seaker 1 Kayak

Explore the winding shorelines far beyond your campsite with Innova's portable Seaker 1 sea kayak. It's an affordable solution for trekkers and adventure travelers looking for a high-end expedition folding kayak--without the budget-sinking price tag. Paddler Magazine gave the Seaker their thumbs-up Paddle's Pick in 2005 and Hooked on the Outdoors lauded it with a Real Deal Award. Unlike some cheap inflatable pretenders, the Innova Seaker offers true sea kayak styling with structural rigidity you can trust. It's made with high-pressure side tubes for integrity that won't bend or bow when you're crossing narrow channels. The extruded PVC cockpit combings accommodate standard spray skirts without compromises. Inside the integrated dry deck you'll find mesh deck bags that help hold up to 200 lbs. of outdoor gear and provisions.
