TRAK Kayaks  /  2 Min Read  /  Awards & Recognition

 

 

"The time has finally come. The time to make my selection for the 'Best Portable Kayaks of the Year'. Please note that this selection only takes into account the portable kayaks that I tested this past year. I'm sure there are some other kayaks that deserve to be in this conversation, but that doesn't change the fact that these kayaks deserve special recognition. And so these are my picks for the PaddleTV Awards for 'Best Portable Kayaks of 2021'." - Ken Whiting

 

Winner: TRAK 2.0 Voted "Best in Class"

Top 5 Inflatable and Folding Kayaks of 2021 | PaddleTV Award Winners

 

Our entire team here at TRAK couldn't be more honored to receive this distinction.

The better the fit, the better the control, and therefore, the better the...

Plane. Paddle. Paradise: Last-Minute Escape to the Bahamas

With roughly a week's notice, a TRAK 2.0, a pair of paddles, and a willingness to improvise, I turned an ordinary week into a spontaneous escape to Great Exuma, Bahamas.
