The Bay ST
The Bay ST Kayak
The original of the Oru Kayaks, the Bay ST was launched in 2012 on Kickstarter and is now available to retailers around the world. This is such a beautiful concept that it is included the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. From the beginning we've thoroughly updated our designs to making it easier to assemble and more comfortable to use than its predecessors and of course, enhancing performance.
This kayak is considered stable enough for beginners, yet the length and contouring make it fast and sporty for experts. They have ample room for stashing gear or short camping excursions. The most noticeable feature is the origami design that transforms it from box to boat in just a few minutes. Come in and see our other styles at Aviator Mercantile Post!

Care:
We recommend treating your Oru Kayak as you would a fiberglass, wood, or skin-on-frame kayak. Here are some guidelines:
- Avoid unnecessary dragging or bumping - use the carry handles to lift, instead of tugging it behind you
- Store out of direct sunlight - our boats have a 10-year UV treatment, but we still recommend sheltered storage
- Rinse the kayak thoroughly with fresh water after each use - sediment and salt that dry to the surface of the boat can be abrasive over time
- Oru kayaks are designed to be easily repairable if anything should wear out over time. Our repairs team is happy to help! Just shoot us an email to service@orukayak.com with a brief description of your issue, a photo, and your Hull Identification Number to get the ball rolling!
