The Beach LT is an open-cockpit origami kayak that folds into a box and weighs 25 lbs. It suits casual day trips, picnics and easy floats on calm water, and the open cockpit has room for a small cooler or tackle bag. A padded seat with an adjustable backrest and footrest lets you dial in a comfortable position.

- Practice folding and unfolding it at home a few times so your first launch is not a puzzle at the ramp.
