Trak Kayaks® are now available in Australia. The world’s first shape shifting kayak, which zips up into a wheeled bag the size of average set of golf clubs, weighs the same as a standard lightweight sea kayak, and performs like a hard shell boat.

The essence of the Trak is it’s portability, combined with a design that doesn’t limit the paddler to plodding along in a big hauling, low performance kayak. The mind blowing design aspect is the ability to change the rocker of the boat according to purpose – if you’re looking punch out some miles & could do with a bit more waterline length & speed, let the frame out. If you want to play in some moving water, manouver in tight spaces, or generally have a bit more fun in the boat, crank the rocker back to change to a more traditional highly rockered design.We have stock on the shelf of this exciting new boat, avaialble in yellow or dark khaki, for the new price of $3990.

The innovations that set Trak apart from any other folding kayak in the market are below:

Tri-active Performance System™ (TPS)

TPS enables optimum performance in any condition

TRAK TPS is comprised of three self-contained hydraulic jacks, located in the cockpit. By pulling the handling, the TPS micro-adjusts the shape of the hull to optimize it for changing wind and water conditions. A quick release valve on each jack releases the tension, returning the kayak to initial position.

All parts are made from stainless steel and are corrosion resistant.

Adjustable Thigh Braces

From aggressive control to nothing at all.

Easy to remove hardware allows each paddler to adjust the position of the braces along the underside of the coaming, or removed entirely.

For a comfortable fit the braces are padded. There are 32 unique positions in all.

VariTRIM Lateral Adjustment™

Micro-adjust the gunwales to maintain tracking without a rudder.

On the interior left and right sides of cockpit are two hydraulic levers that enable the paddler to steer the kayak without a rudder or skeg.

The entire length of the kayak arcs to provides lateral resistance to mitigate weathercocking, and eliminating paddling fatigue over long distances.

The result is its ability to effortlessly neutralize cross winds.

TEN-&-IN Portability™

7 steps, 8 pieces, 10 minutes, no joke.

The entire TRAK kayak can be transported in a stylish OGIO® pack in ten minutes or less. Airport friendly, apartment-compatible and fits in most car boots. It is incredibly easy and intuitive to assemble having only 8 pieces. Quickstart photo guide and DVD are included.

Pack size: 132 x 43 x 38 cm

Keder Storage System™

Loading and unloading is easier than ever.

Our Keder Storage System is an aluminum extrusion sliding on a track that provides quick and easy access to your gear, without the hassle of leaky, failing hatches. When opened it provides complete access to the ample storage cavity inside the stern. When closed it provides a fail-safe water tight seal.

The Keder system has a stop on it to ensure it locks into the coaming.

With the flat rib profile of the TRAK, gear bags can easily be loaded in the bow from the cockpit.

Command Seat

Designed with comfort in mind.

The TRAK seat is locked into the frame and coaming to provide all the stability and control a performance kayak seat should offer. The Command Seat has a padded cushion and an adjustable back rest.

VariTRAK Adjustable Rocker™

Micro-adjust the curvature of the hull for different paddling conditions.

A single hydraulic lever in front of the seat can dramatically increase the upward curvature of the hull along the entire keel line. The result is that TRAK can change shape in seconds from fast tracking to easy maneuverability and everything in between. With a long water line (no curvature in the hull), the kayak will go straight and fast (track efficiently).

With a shorter water line (or extreme curvature in the hull) the kayak is exceptionally easy to maneuver and will be more responsive and playful.

Changing the shape of the kayak is effortlessly done on the water, right from the cockpit.

DuraTRAK™ Aerospace Frame

Exceptionally lightweight and strong.

The DuraTRAK frame is constructed from aerospace-grade anodized aluminum for strength, lightness and rigidity.

The entire frame is anodized to protect against corrosion and wear.

All tubing is connected with shock-cording, and the ribs and bow/stern plates in each section are attached so there are no loose pieces.

The flat profile ribs, ultra-strong coaming and other parts are made from extremely durable urethane.

Sea Guide Chris James test paddling the TRAK T-1600 folding kayak. Chris is an accomplished all round paddler, with an AC Sea Guide accreditation, a long history paddling surf ski's in adventure races as well as being one of the few Rapier 20 paddlers in the country, We figured he'd be a good guy to put into the T-1600 for a test paddle on a lumpy July sea offshore from Sydney Heads. Consider that the boat in the pictures is a folder which fits into a bag the size of a standard golf travel bag, and you can see why we're very excited about the potential of this design.
