of your car or bringing it on a plane as a carry-on what about storing it in the corner of your closet imagine swinging your kayak over your shoulder before you set out exploring outdoors adilyn across the lake to that romantic picnic spot we did and we set out on a mission to make out Noir exploring easy we rework the concept of the kayak into a folding portable one that weighs under 6 pounds with the just in case kayak you can decide on a moment's notice if you want to walk around the lake or paddle across a you have a freedom to adventure our story starts in 2015 in Alberta Canada as outdoor enthusiasts and day trip fanatics we thought of this concept out of frustration with the cost and size of the traditional kayaks and not to mention none of us at the storage space to keep one in our small apartments we won the product that fit our needs something is portable and durable without the investment additional equipment and commitment that traditional kayaks require we were looking for a weekend kayak just like our weekend bikes so we asked ourselves what if everyone had a kayak that could fit into their bag we wanted to reinvent the camping and hiking experience so that you can port anymore while carrying less we transform this idea into a real sized foldable kayak creating an out of box solution aimed at beginners to professionals to experience kayaking wherever they are take just in case kayak for a stroll on a lake river or bay or bring it on a hiking trip for some impromptu paddling our team of engineers designers and testers have built in water tested prototype after prototype to arrive at a kayak that's lightweights fun safe to use and durable just in case is made from a lightweight carbon-fiber frame held together by custom 3d printed connectors we use a durable ripstop skin made with woven nylon that has remarkable strength to weight ratio weighing only 5.7 pounds the just-in-case kayak can carry more than 250 pounds and measures no more than 40 by 6 inches when folded you'll be able to assemble our kayak in 15 minutes we've also tried to keep our just-in-case kayak environmentally friendly by using a little material as possible we believe adventure doesn't stop at the beaten path we believe in taking the road less traveled and staying curious let's make kayaking affordable make nature accessible and advance cheering easy let's embrace the idea that traveling light while exploring outdoors is possible I mean have you ever seen anything like this before I didn't think so no one has Sam crap kidding me we go the thing I love
