The FirstLight Folding Kayak range is designed to meet recreational and light touring requirements with folding kayaks in three lengths, 12’ 6” (3.8 meters), 13’ 9” (4.2 meters) and 15’ 9” (4.8 metres).

All our folding kayaks share the same basic design features, one of the most distinctive being their square bow and stern profiles, which do not slope back like the traditional kayak. Our aim is to maximise waterline length for optimum speed and tracking. Because the ends of the boat are light, there is no difficulty riding waves and surfing. Thanks to its light weight and long waterline a FirstLight folding kayak will have behave like a longer folding kayak – it is important to compare waterline length rather than overall length when comparing FirstLight folding kayaks with other boats.
An option with your FirstLight folding kayak is a transparent lower hull, available on all models. The transparent hull is made of the same high quality urethane film as the regular hull and offers a view of the scenery under the kayak.
Keelstrips can be added to the urethane skin to reinforce the major wear points on the bottom of the kayak. We only offer keelstrips on black hulls, not on transparent hulls.

Assembly time: 15 to 20 minutes, once you are accustomed to the procedure.
