At 14-feet 6-inches long, the 2023 Sojourn 146 offers excellent speed and tracking while also navigating tight turns with ease. This day-touring design carves and edges like a much longer kayak, but balances that agility with a 24-inch beam for excellent stability from the moment you hit the water.

Fore and aft compartments offer ample storage space for camping trips, while solid ABS bulkheads provide confidence for paddling in big water. Outfitted with Airestream seat system, adjustable Control Master thigh braces, bow and stern bungee, and perimeter safety lines, the Sojourn 146 is a 47-lb day-touring kayak that won't break your wallet or your back.

The Sojourn 135 is a day-touring kayak for the masses that offers high initial stability paired with excellent speed and agility. At 13'5″ long, this Sojourn is long enough to hold its own against most kayaks you’ll encounter on the water and short enough to easily hang on the garage wall.

It’s also super comfy thanks to its Airestream seat system and adjustable thigh braces, and has enough fore and aft storage to make overnight trips a breeze. Best of all, the Sojourn 135 weighs in at a svelte 45 lbs and that’s a characteristic newbies and experienced paddlers alike will appreciate when it’s time to load this bad boy on the car.

This Item is Only Available for In-Store Traverse City, MI Pick-Up

For some folks, recreational means accessories, so Hurricane took the Santee 116 and upsized it. They put some serious cubic inches in the cockpit and voila, the Santee 116 Sport! A recreational kayak that gives you room for tackle boxes, rod tubes, dry bags and perhaps, the family dog – appropriately clad in a Ruffwear PFD of course.

In addition to the extra space in the cockpit, the Santee 116 Sport also features a sealed rear bulkhead and easy to use hinge hatch, and at 36.5 pounds you aren’t sacrificing performance for extra space. Why? Because the 116 Sport rides on the same magic Swede form hull as the 116.

Features

Specifications: Length: 11.5 ft; Width: 28 in; Cockpit: 55 x 24 in; Weight: 36.5 lbs; Seals Nylon Sprayskirt and Cockpit Cover Size: 7.0

This Item is Only Available for In-Store Traverse City, MI Pick-Up

Paddlers have been begging for a lightweight alternative to the heavy two-person polyethylene sit-on-tops on the market, so Hurricane put a tandem sit-on-top deck on a proven lightweight hull design. Fully-featured from bow to stern with two 5.5″ day hatches, an 8″ bow hatch, two adjustable Airstream seat backs, and two new Skimmer Cushion pads.

The Skimmer 140T is designed for folks who like to spend time exploring with a friend. If a partner isn’t available, the addition of a clip-on seat (sold separately) allows the Skimmer 140T to be used solo, and this tandem is light enough that solo really is an option. Grab some paddles and PFDs, the lightweight tandem sit-on-top you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived.

This recreational kayak ups the ante on the industry-changing Santee 126 by adding an oversized cockpit, and it does so without sacrificing one iota of performance.
