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. We are grateful that the TRAK 2.0 is thought of in this way after thoroughly testing and improving our design over 15 years on the market. This distinction gives us even more motivation to continue to produce thousands of these kayaks to meet the needs of paddlers, globally, over the next couple of years.

 

The Testing & Results

 

 

 

"The real reason I chose the TRAK 2.0 kayak as, Best in Class is because this kayak can be adjusted to the type of paddling that you're doing. It transforms." - Ken Whiting
