This high-volume cruiser has a flat hull and long waterline, so it's an excellent long distance kayak and a great platform for fishing or photography. Lots of cargo capacity let you bring creature comforts for luxurious trips and multi-day tours. The Chinook is made with vacuum-moulded thermoformed ABS, saving both cost and weight compared to fibreglass. It's also much stiffer and better looking than any roto-moulded plastic (though should repairs be needed, they will be rougher and more drag-inducing.)
