No hype here: the Kestrel 120 Comp kayak from Current Designs is a high-quality day touring kayak that anyone will enjoy paddling.

  • 12 ft. length maintains speed when covering distance on relatively calm waters and won't draw back from maneuverability
  • Shallow-V hull enhances tracking and offers friendly stability and a lively feel in the water
  • Swede-form construction enhances speed and maneuverability, and it allows bow to punch through waves instead of riding up and over them
  • Unusually light, strong and stiff, the Kestrel 120 Comp kayak features a hybrid construction of fiberglass and a polyaramid (the same material as Kevlar®)
  • Vacuum-bagged composite lamination eliminates excess resin, which improves strength and reduces weight to a scant 38 lbs.
  • Roomy cockpit makes it easy for any paddler to enter kayak
  • Seat creates a natural, comfortable paddling position by tilting the entire seat pan up and away from cockpit floor
  • Use the lever-lock knob—it's similar to a quick-release fork on a bike wheel—to set the seat pan to the desired height
  • Locking mechanism prevents both side-to-side and up-and-down motion
  • To prevent numbness, seat pan features a contoured space for lower vertebrae and is covered with plush, nonabsorbent, very thick padding
  • Seatback moves up and down and back and forth, and it articulates to move with your paddling motion
  • A sliding bar adjusts foot pegs without having to get out and reach inside cockpit
  • Rear hatch provides enough storage for an overnight trip and features an easy-to-use, rubberized hatch cover
  • Small bow hatch offers additional storage
  • Glassed-in bulkheads enhance flotation when hatches are sealed
  • Generous bungee rigging allows you to keep touring accessories with easy reach
  • Paddle keeper frees up hands when needed
  • Toggled carry handles ease transport of the 38 lb. Current Designs Kestrel 120 Comp kayak to the water
