Old Town Loon 106 Kayak Cinder, 10ft 6in

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Loon 106 out on a quiet lake for a half-day paddle and was impressed by how confidently it tracked without any correction strokes. The ACS2 seat kept me comfortable the whole time, and the removable work deck was genuinely useful for keeping a camera and snacks right where I needed them.""Still water has a way of slowing everything down, and the Old Town Loon 106 is exactly the kayak for those unhurried mornings when the fog is still lifting off the lake. Built on a sharp keel that keeps you moving straight without constant correction, this recreational kayak from Old Town lets you focus on the herons in the shallows or the mountain reflection on the water instead of fighting your line. The ACS2 seat delivers all-day support with intuitive adjustments and flow-through ventilation, so you can settle in for a long paddle. The removable work deck gives you a convenient platform for a camera, a snack, or a phone, and it even includes a USB port to keep devices charged when you're out longer than planned (power source not included). A large stern hatch with a water-resistant Quick Seal cover handles bulkier items like lunch and dry layers, while deck bungees, a paddle clip, and rod holders keep everything else right where you need it."
