About Oru Kayak
Oru Kayak makes folding kayaks that its owner calls the original origami kayak: a boat that goes, in the company's phrase, from box to boat in a matter of minutes, needs little storage space and can be carried. Models include the Inlet, Lake, Beach, Bay, Coast and Haven. Solo Brands bought 60 per cent of Oru Kayak, Inc. in May 2021 and the rest that September, and now reports it with ISLE as its watersports business.
