Oru Kayak  Haven TT Kayak

Great boat but there is a small hole that I think was there when I got it but didn’t notice it until I turned it upside down to wash it. Also the neoprene rubber end cover on one end is really hard to get over the edge. I have been trying to contact you about it but so far I haven’t been able to get through on the phone. I’ve emailed and left messages so hopefully this can be resolved.

Lasted 3 uses before puncturing all the way through & "wear and tear" isn't covered under the warranty

Love the Haven TT. Lovely time on Loon Pond.

Lightweight double fits in car trunk no problem. Fast straight tracking in water. Quality construction. Assembly/disassembly video super clear. Great flat water kayak option for urban dwellers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very stable. Easy to assemble and pack away once you’ve done it a few times. Boat tracks well and is quite fast on the water. Impresses!

We are really enjoying our Haven!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy the convenience of being able to take my kayak anywhere. It fits nicely in the trunk of my car so I don't have to put a roof rack on my car. Putting it together is a bit of a hassle, but not too difficult. The kayak handles very well, sturdy and does not leak at all. Overall I like the Oru Haven TT, just wish they weren't as expensive.

I purchased the Haven (Tandem) and took it out on the water last weekend. The assembly confounded at first until I followed the YouTube assembly video section by section. The second time I put it together took about 10 minutes and was relatively easy (just needed good muscle). The boat is sturdy in the water, it held two adults easily, and we found it easy to steer and navigate. I like that it can convert to a single too. Fits in the trunk of my Camry easily. Only thing I'd like to add to my Oru is a small hand cart to wheel it from the car to the dock. While it folds up nicely, at age 57 and small framed, it's still quite heavy for me to carry on a shoulder by myself. Otherwise, I have no complaints! Love it and love that I can take it all over the place to rivers and lakes.

In short, would not recommend this kayak and if I had the choice again I would simply buy a normal kayak for much cheaper. Initially bought as it fit the brief for a multi purpose kayak which can be folded and stored easily. Handled its first two trips fine, but now lots of issues regarding longevity. By the third trip the orange structural floor boards developed large cracks from end to end. After googling this is a known issue. Now having issues with straps breaking and coming off as the holes where they are attached through get stretched and then pass over the plastic washers/screw heads. The design trade offs they had to make to get a light folding tandem kayak are obvious It's only been on the water 5 times, and even though it's rates for many many folds I don't think the other hardware will last past 20 before enough breaks making it unusable or I start sinking. If you only ever plan to use the kayak a handful of times then this is the kayak for you. Otherwise go buy something that will last longer and cost less.

I bought this for late spring. I haven't even unfolded it yet due to the winter weather. I will let you know later when I finally get to use it. What really attracted me to your product was that I could easily transport it in my mid-size car.
