That is a seriously ugly boat.  And I suspect that it is pretty slow.

Supposedly, the idea is that it's a kickboat/kayak hybrid with a unique clam shell-like folding option.  I think it's an idea that was best left on the napkin it was first sketched.

The fish bite twice a day - just before we get here and right after we leave.

I think the Point 65 Modular sit on tops are a better solution for compactness.

At one point they put one together with like 98 center sections to make the world's longest kayak.

Looks like a great travel size kayak - even carry-on...

I bet it paddles no worse, if not better than an Outback.  My money would be on "better" since it is designed for paddling.
