The Ripple Kayak is a versatile kayak, suitable for beginners but also designed for long distances and gear. Our most stable kayak, the Ripple features one of the largest cockpits in the industry, giving it the open feeling of a sit-on-top kayak without losing the comfortable seat or safe enclosure for three-season paddling. A roomy back hatch gives this boat storage space for camping and fishing gear, and is easily turned into a watertight bulkhead as an upgrade. The V-shaped keel allows for good responsiveness out on the water and allows the Ripple to track straight in all water conditions, making this the perfect kayak for lake or river paddling with gear, or for those looking for a bit of extra stability.
