Boat I purchased in 2009 when I was living in an apartment. Now that I have more storage space a packable kayak is no longer needed! Still great if you don't want to mess around with car topping a kayak!
Takes from 15-20 minutes to assemble once you figure everything out.
Comes with Repair kit, original manual/assembly instructions, spray skirt, bow/stern air sponsons, and rudder.
This is the folbot Expedition version with bow/keel strips applied for extra abrasion resistance.
Tracks great for a boat as light as this is, not at all unwieldly like an inflatable kayak can be. If you have never before paddled a skin-on-frame boat it is something to experience! Waves that would normally toss a hardshell kayak about you just 'roll' over. The frame flexes just a bit so that any waves are just absorbed by the boat and you hardly feel any of them. Skin is made from tough Hypalon material, would make a great Kayak camping boat! Easy to open and load up with all kinds of gear!
Kiawah comes with easy to adjust foot pegs (With adjusting rods so you can easily reach and adjust while underway), and comes with upgraded more comfortable inflatable adjustable seat.
KIAWAH
This touring kayak is as light as they come. Perfect for day trips and weekend getaways, the Kiawah gets you there nice and easy.
The Kiawah, the Cooper's smaller sibling, is the perfect kayak for paddlers between 100 and 180 lbs. Light and easy to assemble, the Kiawah tracks very well, has good initial and secondary stability and achieves hull speed with a minimum of effort. Construction is similar to the Cooper and our tensioning system allows the frame to be completely assembled outside of the skin making setup a breeze. The frame is corrosion proof, and both bow and stern decks are zippered for easy gear access. The Kiawah is shipped in a soft backpack-style bag, sternum strap and waist belt, and floatation bags.

Questions
Question
Hi there - I'm a novice kayaker and I'm concerned mainly with stability over other things like assembly time and tracking (and I definitely don't care about speed). Can you speak to the stability for a person new to kayaking
Answer
Absolutely! This was my first 'real' kayak. A folding boat like this ( skin on frame) is one of the more stable boats out. Waves that would knock a standard kayak this would just 'roll over'. The frames flexes just a bit, enough that the waves just kinda roll under you. It's a weird feeling at first but you grow to appreciate it. Assembly time- with practice- can take about 20 minutes. Depending. Tracking is good, the 16 ft Cooper is better, but both come with rudders for better tracking.
Question
Is this still available
