The Native Watercraft Ultimate 12 Basic offers the friendly access of a sit-on-top kayak and the performance of a sit-inside kayak.

  • The Native Watercraft Ultimate 12 Basic kayak is well-suited to fishing, photography and bird watching on lakes and slow moving water
  • Polyethylene construction offers performance and rugged durability
  • Part of what makes the Ultimate 12 Basic so friendly to any paddler is the double-concave, "tunnel" hull that enhances stability
  • Low profile sides resist high winds, and clutter-free area directly in front of seat won't snag your fishing line
  • Concave foot wells offer a place to stand that puts your center of gravity close to the waterline, and makes it easy to sight cast or pole the kayak in shallow water
  • Elevating you above the point where water might collect, the seat consists of a UV- and water-resistant mesh fabric stretched over an anodized aluminum frame
  • Native Watercraft calls out this seating using the term "Air-lite"
  • Seat back adjusts backward and forward, and seat pan provides 3 different levels of thigh support
  • Footbraces are easily adjustable
  • Soft handles at bow and stern

Made in USA.
