Breeze

This compact touring kayak can handle the roughest conditions, yet it cruises nicely at an easy touring pace. The Breeze fits a broad size range of paddlers and has been designed to be extremely user-friendly and versatile. You can do all the things that you could in a recreation kayak but with a Breeze you'll have much more potential for adventure, easier glide and better tracking. You can do all the things that you can with a sea kayak but with the Breeze you'll have lighter weight and more maneuverability, its just more compact. With its fish-form, shallow-V hull design the Breeze has tremendous secondary stability. A long "easy to enter and exit" cockpit offers comfort and security with padded thigh braces. The stern bulkhead and a generously sized stern hatch make storing gear easy. The secured bow buoyancy chamber gives the boat plenty of flotation in the event of a capsize for self rescue techniques. The Breeze is decked out like all Current Designs kayaks with full deck rigging as well as perimeter safety lines. The Breeze is designed to compliment paddlers who spend most of their time in more protected waters but venture out in potentially choppy more open waters as well. The Breeze is a very stable, roomy, easy to maneuver, rotomolded touring kayak in a compact size. At 13' 6" long by 25" wide the Breeze provides much of the stability and large comfortable cockpit of a recreation kayak, on a longer waterline adding greater efficiency and tracking to the design. The Breeze is an obvious choice for entry level and intermediate paddlers offering all the amenities and handling characteristics you would want for a serious trip or a relaxing afternoon that's right around the corner. It's just enough kayak for you to keep up with your friend's "Sea Kayak" without feeling overwhelming. Note the unique bow design, that's a flared -fish form hull. Great for riding over any type of waves rather than diving thru them and giving you a lap full of water. The shallow Vee hull offers much better glide and tracking than similar flat bottom designs. Since it's made of high grade superlinear poly it actually retains its shape rather than warping in the sun like that box store kayak that looks more like a noodle after two seasons. Because of the broad appeal and great value, the Breeze is one of our most popular models year after year. (Shown with optional rudder)
Altura (Kevlar®)  With its extra width and length, the Altura is super-stable, but also noticeably faster and more efficient than most SOT fishing kayaks, plus the composite construction, makes it significantly lighter than any comparable rotomolded model.

Dry storage is available just behind the seat and in the bow. Recessed paddle parks, ample bungee bow and stern, reflective safety lines and bow, stern and side carry handles are standard.
