TRAK Kayaks
Share
Let's face it. Most people in the world today have no idea what a real sea kayak is capable of.
We're on a mission to change that.
When our team produced the first TRAK folding sea kayak over 20 years ago, sea kayaking was in the global spotlight. Feature films and documentaries were being made about the sport, and baby boomers around the world were investing in high-end fibreglass boats to take them further, carry more gear, and thrive in more complex conditions.
This all changed with the widespread introduction of cheap inflatables, origami 'kayaks,' and paddleboards - most of them made by companies with no history in watersports. With most new models having more in common with toys than real watercraft, these increasingly portable products gradually saturated the mainstream market with low-cost, low-quality options that altered what people came to expect from 'kayaking' in general.
TRAK stands in the face of this movement to relegate sea kayaking to a dull, pedestrian activity. At the same time, we believe in protecting this sport from obsolescence by making sea kayaking more possible and accessible - not by cutting corners, but by engineering real sea kayaks that fit the lifestyles of modern paddlers: compact AND performance-oriented.
We take pride in our vessels, the research and engineering behind them, and the purpose for which they are built: for real paddlers; for real sea kayaking; for real rescues; for real rolling; for real expeditions; for real travel.
Trust your instincts. Time to get TRAK'n!

Our intrepid adventurers of the South Pacific have returned victorious - alive, fulfilled, and amazed!
Designed and led by TRAK Pilot Zack Kruzins of in May 2026, these two back-to-back kayak expeditions introduced TRAK paddlers from around the world the legendary islands and coral atolls of French Polynesia.
After landing in Papeete, Tahiti, each group assembled their kayaks and packed up for a week of true expedition paddling. Together, they crossed sheltered lagoons, explored tiny islets protected by ranging surf, camped at remote villages whose inhabitants welcomed them with open arms, and ate plenty of delicious traditional cuisine complete with entertainment, stories, and lifelong friendships.
For TRAK paddlers, this is what kayaking is all about: lifelong exploration, learning, and connection in places we simply couldn't reach without a packable sea kayak.
Real travel. Real adventure. Off the beaten path, where no one else can follow.
Where will your TRAK take you?

🌋 MASSIVE props to TRAK paddler Ryan Bishman from the Pacific Northwest who just completed the race - a journey of more than 70 miles - in just 25 hours!
Two years ago, when Ryan set a goal to complete this race, he knew it would require a change in his equipment, skills, and endurance. Choosing the TRAK 2.0 ended up being a key part of that journey.
Since then, Ryan has trained consistently—paddling several times a week and building up both skill and endurance.
Here's what Ryan shared with us after completing the race:
"[The] boat has been a great partner throughout. It gave me the confidence to push longer distances and handle a wide range of conditions. What I’ve appreciated just as much is the support from your team. Anytime I’ve had questions or looked to upgrade components, you’ve been responsive and helpful. That kind of support matters, especially when preparing for something as demanding as Seventy48. Thanks again for building a great product and backing it with great people."
Congrats and thanks to Ryan for defying what's expected from a packable performance kayak and inspiring the rest of us to paddle longer, harder, and further 🙌
