Kayaking is an Olympic sport as well as an outdoor sport, which allows us to contact nature closely. Kayaking is an enchanting sport and fitness project because it would be generally played in oceans, lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and other similar areas with beautiful scenery, or a blue sea, where people can relax, exercise, and refresh at the same time. Kayaking is a speed endurance exercise, which can enhance the function ot the cardiovascular system and respiratory systems; furthermore, it is beneficial to the respiratory system due to water sports, the negative ion content over water is 2 to 3 times larger than the indoor sport. Kayaking can effectively exercise the muscles of the body, especially shape the muscle of the shoulder, waist, and arm wonderfully, and coordination can be developed. At the same time, compared with land sports, canoeing is not easy to cause muscle mishaps. The high paddling speed can provide the experience of the light floating and the impact force of speed.

We use a special formulation of polypropylene materials (low-density grid plate) to make our kayak have the strength and streamline design of hard boats, and better water resistance performance than inflatable kayaks and skin kayaks. Our kayak has excellent controllability and can be directly placed in the trunk of any car after folding.
