Hey Cosmo you really got me interested in the Oro Haven! However the discount code results in a "Enter a valid discount code or gift card" message, so it must no longer be valid. Any newer discount code?
@@AndrisVizulis Hello and thanks for contacting me. I encounter this with all the vendors. They change things without notification. Unfortunately I have no control over their actions and no replacement coupon code. Sorry! 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅

before ships had rudders on their centerlines, boats were controlled
using a steering oar. Most sailors were right handed, so the steering
oar was placed over or through the right side of the stern. Sailors began calling the right side the steering side, which soon became "starboard" by combining two Old English words: stéor (meaning "steer") and bord (meaning "the side of a boat").
Thank you for telling the story. I am in the Navy and have always wondered about that
I just got one of these "for my kids" for Christmas in the black edition for exploring all the lagoons on the coast down here in Mexico. I'm planning on trying it out in Patzcuaro when it get's a little warmer out
I’ve seen kayaks from that company before. Great to see a demonstration. Thanks.
I think its one of the best folding kayaks available. Thank You Check my other videos czcams.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE czcams.com/users/cosmoweems

Thanks for your review! My daughter bought the "Coast" model when they first came out. My son and his wife purchased the "Bay" model. These kayaks are light, and fast! I was really impressed with the design and it solves a lot of weight and storage problems. Thanks for a good review on this awesome product.
Than You! I am having a blast this summer with my boats. The 2 seat boat is a very social boat! Check my other videos czcams.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE czcams.com/users/cosmoweems

Now that you have had it a few years. What are your thoughts? How did it hold up? Would you still go with the tandem version?
Thanks for the vid. Any info if this kayak was capsized, how difficult would it be to rightened and get back in safely?
With 2 people a roll is not going to happen. With a paddle floar I think it is doable. But I have not tested it yet. Pretty important to drain the boat - it would be hard to pump out all that water in a 2 seat boat. This is a flat water boat and should not be used in rough water. Having said that. Its a fun boat.

Thanks for the demonstration.
I'm very tempted by their new Inlet model.
How feasible is it to have a dive in the middle of the lake and get back into the kayak?
You do a self rescue with a paddle float, Not a problem for me. I have a review of the Inlet too, czcams.com/video/05wTFdSdAGA/video.html Thank You for watching. Check my other videos czcams.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

Very nice review. A few questions, I hope you don't mind.
1. Do the paddles come with the boat on order? I assume they are separate.
2. Seats seem to sit quite low. Leg angle seems very flat when sitting. Or is it pretty spot on with a rigid kayak?
3. What are your impressions on the drag of the kayak vs a rigid. How fast is it?
We have Old Town Dirigo's which we love but of course are bulky for travel.
I am glad you did a comparison of tandem vs solo. I was quite impressed with solo maneuverability for a 16ft kayak.
Thanks again for your review.
Not sure if Oru is including the paddles. Check with seller.
Low seating offers lower center of gravity. Kayaks have lower seating than canoes.
Tough to compare with a canoe without a side by side comparison.
The boat is maneuverable.
The only reason you pick a folding kayak because it folds.
A folding kayak wont outperform a rigid kayak of similar quality and design,
Thank You for watching. Check my other videos czcams.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos
SUBSCRIBE czcams.com/users/cosmoweems
@@CosmoWeems Thanks again for your insight. I see from there site, the paddles are not included, makes sense.
I also see that Oru also makes a seat wedge to allow a more comfortable seating arrangement.
FYI, the Old Town Dirigo's are recreational Kayaks. I think Old Town makes more Kayaks than Canoe's nowadays. Top quality products.
Thanks again.
@@chaleurphantom1 I have the seat wedge , they are good
Hi there! Thanks for the review and the footage. I have a few questions, looking for some honest thoughts.
First of all, safety-wise, is this boat any different from other types of kayaks when it comes to scrambling back on just in case you capsize while on solo? I love the idea of converting this to a solo for an occasional outing myself, so any thoughts on the safety (is it too heavy to flip alone, etc.) would be great.
Also, looking at some of the reviews on REI doesn't look that great. Especially the comments about manufacturing quality. The metal parts (the G-buckle, the cross brace rod) look like they bend easily, and aren't handling the load. Have you seen/experienced similar issues?
Very much appreciate your thoughts! Cheers, - j
I was shipped an early model. It has G hooks that slip I fixed that by jamming scrunching the strap into the point where the strap goes into the buckle. I pinged Oru about that and they offered to send me new books. I declined because I solved the problem. I am an experienced kayaker. I think the boat handles well. I did read the REI reviews. One person with slipping buckles appears to have been using the metal cross strut as a back rest rather than the straps. I can only assume they are of umm larger sized person. The cross strut is not a back rest. duhh. I had the boat out several times so far and no floorboard issues. I Like it. I do have to note. An Oru is a delicate boat compared to a rotomolded plastic boat. It needs to be treated well. and not abused. I am keeping mine! =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeems Thanks for your reply! Yes, I noticed that the crossbar support is pretty close to the back of the backrest of the front seat. If a heavy person sat up front, and leaned back, that could be a problem... In fact, that might also explain the bent G-Hooks.
I decided to pick this up at REI. They have a rock solid return policy. I'm totally excited for this product because it definitely checks all of my barriers for Kayaking (no storage space at home, don't have a car with a rack, etc.).
I found Oru responsive. If you have an issue give them a try, Good Luck it is worth the test to see if it can get you out on the water and into adventure! =Cosmo
Thanks for the review. My question is how does it perform along coastal rapids? Or is just for calm waters?
You have not given any specifics. I have had the boat out in 1 foot waves in a bay. The boat is an open cockpit kayak. No spray skirt for waves that break over the boat. This is obvious. Check my other videos czcams.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE czcams.com/users/cosmoweems
If you want to kayak in rough water and waves that will break over the deck get a closed cockpit kayak with a spray skirt or a sit on top. They are designed for that type of water.
@@CosmoWeems okey thanks
Any comparison to something like the sea eagle 379rl?
Would not be my choice. for anything other than a gentile paddle on a windless lake for fun. My first choice would be an Advanced Element boat amzn.to/3e6reC1 which I have seen on the water and gets rave reviews =Cosmo.
If you go alone does the seat go somewhere else? Or do they stay in the same spot? I've been wanting to buy one of these but for the most part I think I would have to go alone but I wanted a two seater in case my daughter wants to go.
Ye their is another position for the seat for when you paddle alone. Check the boat weight see if your are comfortable lugging it around. Check this video czcams.com/video/gP22_bd6-2c/video.html 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos czcams.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

I’m thinking of buying this to take my Golden Retriever kayaking with me. Do you think there’s enough room if I put the seat in the middle or can I keep the seat in the back position?
Your best friend will fit in either configuration and what a good shipmate to have along!. You might fit pooch in ever with another human passenger if you don't mind some closeness.

Does this kayak comfortably fit two 6 ft tall individuals with combined weight of 450 lbs?
Oru site says it has a load capacity of 500 pounds. You are within the specifications. and 6 foot is not a problem either. Enjoy! Here is the coupon code to save 10%
oru-kayak.kckb.st/cosmo-weems Thank You for watching.
I am interested in the Haven TT however not seeing much in the way of current reviews. Mr Weems, Oru no longer honors your discount code, which I find troubling. Do you know why the plethora or reviews from a couple years ago and nothing since? Are you still a fan or has another product taken a front seat in this portable Kayak market?
The Haven is a fine boat for what it is (a folding tandem). czcams.com/video/gP22_bd6-2c/video.html I travel a lot and I have been able to take it with me to places I could not take another boat. Folding boats in general are a compromise - trading off performance for portability. I have not found another folding tandem I like better.

2 adults and a dog should be no problem. Verify maximum weight capacity before buying. Make sure everyone wears a life jacket and have fun.
How comfortable are the seats?
Does an apple taste good? Its personal preference. If you dont like the seat you can get an alternate cushion on amazon. The seat is not an issue for me for a few hours. If I am out all day I want a cushion. What is comfortable for me may not be comfortable for you. =Cosmo

Once the patent on this is done, this thing will be so cheap...it's like $20 worth of raw material and labor cost is so cheap not much machining cost or mold or specialty machines robotics. If I can get my hand on a 12' or longer currogated plastic I can origami myself. When I saw them on Shark tank they was claiming BOM was like $600, which is full of it
