BIYAK Catamaran Kayak Paddleboard Hybrid: Telescoping Pontoons
I look at the BIYAK, a one of a kind catamaran kayak and paddleboard hybrid with a telescoping deck that widens for stability.
What’s in this video
The BIYAK is a one of a kind craft. It’s built to paddle well but give you a very stable platform when you need it. The telescoping deck and pontoons set it apart. It’s 12’7″ long, 30″ wide closed and 50″ wide open, weighs 114 lb and has a 325 lb capacity.
The drop in accessories make it easy to rig for all kinds of adventures. On the water it felt very stable, and it was easy to maneuver with a paddle or with a motor.
Quick takeaways
- The pontoons telescope from 30" wide closed to 50" wide open.
- It weighs 114 lb with a 325 lb capacity, so plan your loading and transport around that.
- You can run it with a paddle or a motor.
