No. The manual states the kayak is designed only for sheltered waters, inland lakes, or slow-moving rivers and is not designed for white water use.
No. The bulkheads are for structural rigidity only and are not watertight.
Do not use or fold the Oru Kayak in air temperatures below freezing (32°F/0°C), because the plastic hull can become brittle and crack.
