Oru Beach kayak on the Mokelumne River
First trip on the Mokelumne River with the Oru kayak. I bought this kayak (used) because I wanted a light kayak that I wouldn't have to load on top of the car. It seems to perform almost as well as a hardshell kayak, and can be set up quickly. On the downside, the big cockpit means that lots water drips into it, and after a couple of hours of paddling I had to make a stop just to dump out the water.
