I purchased an Oru Kayak last year, and I’m still blown away by how easy it is. The first set up was a bit slow, but gets faster each time. And after my second year using it, I don’t even think about the setup now. The Oru Inlet is only 20 pounds and super manageable to carry solo with your gear. And I wish I had known about this Oru Kayak promo code! Oru has also recently launched a new color to their line up – black! And with the new 18 pound Lake model, you can now get an Oru for $499!
Oru Kayak Promo Code – KICKSTARTER for $100 off standard kayaks.
Inlet package including: Inlet kayak, pack, paddle, solar lights, backpack, water bottle, shoulder strap, $1183 instead of $1413. The Inlet alone is $899.

Why I chose the Oru Kayak Inlet: Update: here’s my full review of the Oru Kayak. I waited too long, summer of 2020 to buy a kayak. It was mid-June by the time I started seriously looking. And pretty much every local shop was out of affordable kayaks in the $300 range. So ordering online or bumping up my budget, I decided that a $650 hardtop kayak was my best bet and better in the long run to get a quality kayak instead of the dirt cheapest. Add on the $200 roof rack for my car, and we’re sitting at $850. This is when I took a second look at the Orus and realized they had released a new cheaper kayak. And if I had known about the 10% off friend promo code, I could have gotten my kayak for $809 instead of $899! Boo!
Oru Kayaks Comparison
Oru Kayaks started out pretty spendy as a foldable kayak Kickstarter. The most popular and affordable one was $1200. Until this year, when they came out with the $899 Inlet Kayak. You can also now buy Oru Kayaks at REI and then you’ll at least be working toward Member Rewards!
So check out the Oru and my “friend” coupon code for 10% off [FBV]. And just in case you’re forgetting what all you’ll need. Here’s the “buying a kayak” gear list & what I got:
- The Kayak (Oru Kayak Inlet $719)
- The Paddle (Oru Paddle $79) (or this 230cm one is $70)
- A Car Rack/Tie Downs (not needed with Oru, comparable $100-200)
- PFD/Life Jacket (ONYX MoveVent $55), (Airhead GNAR kids vest $34)
If you’re wanting to get the 10% off from Oru, buying the Inlet, to get over $1,000, you could also buy your paddle and PFD from them, which would put you at $1088, after 10% Oru Kayak discount code would be $979.
Let me know if you have any questions about the Oru! Good luck on your kayak search!
October 2021 Update: Oru Kayak has joined forces with ISLE SUP, and Solo Stoves!
