Ocean Kayak Malibu 11.5

Designed for light touring on rivers and sea

The Malibu 11.5 from the leading manufacturer Ocean Kayak has a bit more in the way of waterline length than most one person sit-on-top kayaks, allowing it to track more efficiently in a straight line. As with all Ocean Kayaks, the 11.5 has been manufactured from high-density polyethylene to give the best hull performance in terms of durability and strength. The 11.5 is suitable for various heights and weights of paddler due to the recline-able backrest and moulded in footrest area. The seat/footrest combination allows the paddler to reach a suitable seating position and develop a strong paddling style on longer days out. Other features include three drinks bottle holders, and a strong keel line that assists with forward tracking, even when the wind is from the side or rear.

Other features from Ocean Kayak that are present on the Malibu 11.5 are an easy to use storage hatch between the paddlers knees, four comfy carrying handles, no less than x3 drinks bottle holders and of course the well throughout Air-Comfort seat system. When out on the water, the Ocean Kayak Malibu 11.5 performs very well, is predictable, stable and easy to paddle (even by first-timers). The slightly upswept bow cuts through small waves and chop, making it suitable for use on both inland and also sheltered coastal waters. Along with the smaller storage hatch, there are also x2 open deck areas, that provide recess's and bungee cords for carrying extra kit. Such as a kayak trolley or some dry-bags.
