In Response To: Review: oru kayaks? (Yoshi)

Matthew:
I met a young man paddling an Oru at a campsite in Port Hardy BC last June. He was enroute to Alaska from Bellingham WA.

"It only leaks through the deck when I'm paddling straight into the waves".
"But I'm not worried, since it has an money-back guarantee".
"As long as I load and unload it in the water, it works OK"
His next waypoint was Cape Caution, in Queen Charlotte Strait.
"My father insisted I get myself a PLB".

Mind-boggling....

I'd be hesitant to paddle one away from the beach.
