Welcome to the Oru Kayak community!

We’re a young company working to change how people experience the outdoors. We designed the Oru
Beach to make getting out on the water simple, fun and easy.

This manual gives an overview of the Beach’s features— and includes a lot of useful tips and kayaking
know-how. Read on to learn the basics of planning your trips, handling a paddle, getting into the
water, and staying safe. To take your experiences to the next level, we recommend taking a lesson
from a local paddlesports shop.

Happy paddling— we look forward to hearing about your adventures!

1/ Product specifications

The Oru Beach’s design is all about ease and simplicity. A sin­gle sheet of double-layered plastic forms the hull and deck of
the assembled kayak, and transforms into the box. The over­lapping flaps that form the deck make for ultra-fast assembly,
and the open cockpit gives you plenty of room. Internal bulk­heads and a rigid floorboard add strength. The adjustable seat
and footrest let you paddle in comfort. All of the loose parts, as
well as other paddling necessities, fit into the Oru Beach box.
