Ocean Kayak Malibu 11.5 Kayak

Whether we’re paddling the surf off Malibu, the bay behind our summer cabin, or the creek outside of town, the Ocean Kayak Malibu 11.5 Kayak keeps things easy for us. The Malibu’s 11-foot, 5-inch length makes it easy to store, easy to transport, easy to carry, and easy to paddle for shorter distances on easier waters. As a sit-on-top, it’s easy to get on and off, which also makes self-rescues easier than re-entering a flooded sit-inside kayak in the middle of the lake. For those of us worried about tippy kayaks, the Malibu has a wide base for initial stability and a hull that’s designed for stability in the surf, too. Finally, it’s also comfortable with a built-in AirGo seat pad and AirComfort backrest and molded-in foot wells with calf rests—and even built-in cup holders to keep our favorite beverages close at hand when we’re paddling, catching fish, or just out catching some rays.
