The Oru Kayak has an origami-inspired design that allows it to be folded down into a box that measures in at 33 inches x 12 inches x 29 inches, from its original length of 12 feet.
Each Oru is made with a custom polypropylene shell that’s rated for a minimum of 20,000 folds, it has an adjustable footrest, an adjustable seat, a paddle that breaks down into four parts for easy transportation, and a storage box with backpack straps.
