Wave Sport Hydra 125

A sporty touring kayak for coastal or inland waters

A compact and easy to handle kayak that has all the great features that have made the larger version a well-respected sporty touring choice. The 125 offers more manoeuvrability on the water and at just 22.5 kg is easy to store, carry and car top. This easy to handle cruiser is able to take on complex waters if needed and has plenty of storage space for compact camping kit for a few days away.

With a refined hull shape and rocker profile the Hydra 125 has a little more width around the cockpit area than the longer model. This provides great stability and increases the responsiveness when edging as once on edge there is more curve along the hull helping you carve that turn. The carving chines and well-defined rails provide a very precise feel on edge too. Taken all together these hull features make the Wave Sport Hydra 125 a great player in the surf zone, when exploring rocky shorelines and for open water touring on the sea and inland waterways.

For a compact kayak the Hydra 125 has an impressive turn of speed and its sweet spot for cruising is only fractionally lower than the longer model. This is a kayak that is suitable for experienced paddlers and will also suit those transiting from sit on top paddling to take their first steps into more serious paddling. It is a great kayak to learn advanced paddling strategies and self rescue and rolling too. If you are a novice you will find the Hydra 125 is a kayak you can just get in a paddle from day 1 and will stay with you for many years as your skills develop.
