The comfort and stability of the Loreto make it an ideal first touring kayak for paddlers looking to explore beyond the next bend in the creek or coastline. As a capable Day-Touring Kayak, the Loreto manages small chop well and has enough storage for a weekend in the wilderness. The easily accessed deck hatch provides handy storage for items you might need while out on the water, and the unique recessed trunk behind the cockpit creates a versatile and useful storage space for a dry-bag or day back. Dual bulkheads separate bow and stern compartments from the cockpit area. If you've been paddling a shorter kayak for a while and looking to upgrade to a boat with more performance, but with that familiar solid initial stability, the Loreto just might be the perfect kayak for you.
