The Karve Kayak is built for paddlers who want freedom on the water. Its open cockpit design lets you sit, stand, or reposition your seat as needed. The included hybrid paddle can be configured for kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding. Bring a cooler, fishing gear, or your dog — there’s room for it all.
A unique V-funnel hull and removable 10" fin help with straight tracking and smooth paddling. Constructed from ultra-durable drop-stitch PVC, the Karve Kayak is tough enough for rocks, sticks, and dog claws while packing down small enough to store almost anywhere.

Built for Performance
The Shape
Swede Form design means the kayak is widest at the rear of the cockpit. This allows for efficient movement through water, improving speed, maneuverability, and tracking.The narrow bow allows it to punch through a wave rather than riding over it. The width,combined with the buoyancy of an inflatable, provides unmatched balance and stability.
More Freedom on Water
The Open Cockpit
Sit and paddle it like a kayak, or stand and paddle it like a paddle board. Adjust the seat based on your height. Bring extra gear, your dog, or a friend. There's room for it all.
I actually go kayaking more now because of ease of use. 100% worth the cost. Excellent quality!
Light to carry to launch area, and extremely maneuverable in the water. Well balanced and very stable!
It quickly deflates. Off I go with no rack, no straps, and no worries.
So easy to inflate and set up, in the water in less than 15 minutes. Very stable, comfortable, and easy to maneuver.
