Inflatable Kayak Blog

The new Sea Eagle Fast Track 385 inflatable kayak has generated quite a bit of buzz since it was released earlier this year. The Fast Track limits ‘yaw’, the side to side motion resulting from paddle strokes, with the incorporation of a rigid, drop-stitch inflatable keel into the kayak’s bow and a large removable skeg under the stern. Probably the most unique feature is the Fast Track’s high pressure drop-stitch floor. The floor not only increases the rigidity of the FastTrack kayak, and adds to the efficiency of the paddler’s strokes, but it also allows the kayaker to stand up in the craft just like you would on a stand up paddleboard.

Recently, Cecil Hoge, the designer of the Sea Eagle Fast Track kayak, made a video to answer customer’s questions and explain the design innovations in more detail.
