In a sit-on-top you can flip it back over and crawl back on. In a plastic kayak, another person can empty the boat on their deck and then you can get in. I assume Oru is not structurally sound enough to do that?
That seemed a pretty scary/legitimate criticism.
- felixgallo 4y agoI haven't had to recover my partner after a capsize, but when folded out, the Oru is strong and sturdy. You use snap-together clasps to give it tension and strength. Additionally, it's light -- one hand carry is possible -- and so certain elements of the recovery would likely be easier. For example, I wouldn't have a problem holding it over my head and shaking out residual water as I sit in my sit-on-top.
