Even though it hasn't been long since your first trip, you know you love to paddle. The Point 65 XO 16 Composite kayak takes you to the next level with a composite hull and refined features.

16 ft. 2 in. hull is stable and responsive and easy to keep moving in a straight line; plus, it's tough to tip over
Why choose the XO 16 over similar kayaks? Very simply put, the construction of this kayak offers incredible weight savings, high responsiveness and beautiful aesthetics
Fiberglass composite is vacuum bagged to minimize excess resin, and a honeycomb mat is sandwiched between composite layers to increase stiffness
The result is a touring kayak that weighs 53 lbs. and paddles with sportscarlike handling
XO 16 comes equipped with a retractable rudder that helps you paddle in a straight line, even if Mother Nature is less than content
Under the deck, easily adjustable rudder pedals ensure that control of the kayak is within easy reach
2 watertight storage compartments fore and aft offer an ideal amount of space for day trips and overnights
Contoured bulkheads under the deck store bulky items easily
Reflective, stretchy deck rigging stores items that might be too large to put under a hatch or too essential to have out of instant reach
Comfortable, adjustable backrest, cushy thigh braces and adjustable footrests help you feel at home within the confines of the cockpit

Imported.

Comments about Point 65 XO 16 Composite Kayak with Rudder:

This boat is amazingly light, is fast as a rocket, and tracks straight as an arrow. It can hold a surprising amount of stuff. I used it to help clean the Appomattox River and was able to carry a lot more trash than I expected. Because of its length, the rudder is essential for steering which is to be expected when you get into the longer 'yaks. It's has two drawbacks: 1) the seat is more difficult to adjust than advertised, 2) getting in and out is hampered somewhat by the thigh braces. Other than that, it's fantastic.
