Native Inuit 12.5 & 14.5

inuit

After getting the chase to paddle the 14.5 a few times, I am really impressed. The thigh braces really lock you in to this boat and just like all Native products, the seating is amazing.

From nativewatercraft.com, "We have advanced the design and comfort level of the Inuit series beyond any other touring kayak. The Tru-Track hull offers straight tracking despite the shorter hull length plus it provides a high level of maneuverability. Our new 5 Star Seating raises the standard for outfitting as it supports and cushions all day." I have yet to paddle this boat but I already know how comfortable it will be once I do. The folks at Native have it right again with their seating system, which throughout the whole line is second to none. Here are the specs of these two.

Boat Materials:

Superlinear resin used in rotomolded, hybrid and MultiSport™ kayaks is chemically engineered for stiffness and both impact and abrasion resistance so you can rely on your boat's structural integrity throughout its usable life. While tough, these kayaks are not indestructible but some minor damages can be repaired. Superlinear boats will endure exposure to ultraviolet light and temperature variation so you can store them outdoors with confidence. For tricks about cleaning and storing your rotomolded kayak be sure to consult your Owner's Manual.

Five Star Outfitting:

The 5 Star Outfitting system cradles you in comfort to prevent soreness or stiffness even after a full day's paddle. The vertically and horizontally adjustable seat back provides support for everyone, no matter height or paddling style. The hip pads can have extra padding added to form fit the soft breathable material around you. Large thigh pads cover adjustable thigh braces for added comfort and steering control. This super comfortable, uniquely adjustable outfitting system using patented 3-D mesh is sewn in our Greensboro facility.

Tru Track Hull:

The Tru Track Hull employs a uniquely layered design that creates several chines in the hull. The additional chines allow the hull to track as well as longer kayaks but turn and maneuver as well as, or better than, other kayaks of their length.
