The Inlet is built for flat water: smooth lakes, rivers and streams. It assembles quickly, and Oru says it tracks and handles better than inflatables. The large open cockpit has room for a dog or small child, or a small tackle bag behind the seat. With the Oru Pack you can check it on a plane or hike it in.
