Description

Why We Like The Ocean Kayak Malibu 11.5 Kayak

When it comes to kayaking, the Ocean Kayak Malibu 11.5 stands out for several reasons. Firstly, its compact size of 11 feet and 5 inches makes it incredibly convenient for storage, transportation, and carrying. Whether you're hitting the surf in Malibu, exploring the bay by your summer cabin, or paddling along the local creek, this kayak is designed to make your experience hassle-free.

This sit-on-top kayak offers easy access, allowing you to effortlessly get on and off. More importantly, in the event of an accidental tip-over, it enables a quick self-rescue compared to a flooded sit-inside kayak. For those concerned about stability, the Malibu kayak has a wide base that provides excellent initial stability, ensuring you feel secure even in rough surf.

Comfort is another key feature of the Malibu. It features a built-in AirGo seat pad and AirComfort backrest, ensuring you can paddle comfortably for extended periods. Additionally, its molded-in foot wells with calf rests enhance your comfort while paddling. To add to the overall convenience, the kayak is equipped with built-in cup holders, allowing you to keep your favorite beverages within easy reach while you're out on the water.
