Defying the challenges of an average kayak, Oru Kayak is an urban dweller’s dream; an origami-inspired play-boat that folds up into a 12-foot, 26-pound rectangle in just a handful of minutes.

Kayaks are clumsy, heavy, and difficult to stow—that’s no secret. Furthermore, play-boats aren’t typically revered as works-of-art. Until now. Based in San Francisco, the company Oru Kayak rolls over all of those difficult features with an all-original design.

The fold-able kayak starts in the shape of a 32″-by-13″-by-28″ size box and transforms into a 12-foot, 26-pound floating device—in just 5 minutes. The rectangle opens into a single sheet of corrugated plastic, which snaps into a kayak with a strap-and-buckle system.

The boat is also recyclable and created more sustainably: the process demands 70% less petroleum than that of a standard kayak…which is awesome!

The company offers three different models ranging in price from $1175 to $2475. You can order one here!
