Inside the mind of a designer

It is not everyday that we get to take a look into the mind of a designer at Oru Kayak, but Stefania sent me an email the other day and I felt that the Oru Kayak Community needed to hear her wonderful thoughts.

Enjoy. 

For me Oru Kayak is more than a product. It is the reminder of unfolding possibilities. 

It is the clever and magical transformation of a flat sheet into a vessel.  It is simple but precise. It melds the patient geometric lines of origami with the fluid forms of the boat. It opens up dreams and opportunities. 

It merges different technologies, materials, perspectives, and ways of creating in the world. Our team strives to make something so special that people want to be surrounded by it, even outside of the water. 
 

Oru Kayak has lots of flavors. It is adrenaline, grounding and soothing. It is fun and meditative. It builds community and self-assurance. The people at Oru are friends that share the mission of inspiring people to explore new ways to connect with nature, each other and themselves. 

It is a surprising tool that celebrates playfulness. It is unexpected and up-lifting. Allows you to escape preconceptions and enlivens the spirit.

Hope to see you on the water soon!
