Description
Jump in feet first! The Malibu Pedal, with the advanced PDL drive system, offers a fresh new way to kayak - why paddle when you can pedal? The Malibu Pedal is a fun and stable ride with turn-on-a-dime performance.

Packed with features, the Malibu Pedal includes a Click Seal hatch under the seat, a stern tank well jump seat, three cup holders, two eight-inch accessory tracks, bow and stern carrying handles, and more.
Keep your gear secure on the pet-friendly bow tank well with removable bungee.
