Current Designs Kayaks
Current Designs' voyage in development has been an exciting one and has drawn us beyond the horizons of innovation and design. Current Designs has been sought out by some of the best kayak designers in the world to bring their designs to life for this ever-changing market. Such respected names as the legendary British designer Derek Hutchinson, Barry Buchanan, a well-known New England designer, and Olympic Champion Greg Barton, have all worked with the Current Designs design team. As a result, Current Designs has become one of the most diverse and sought after line of touring kayaks available anywhere.
Current Designs Raven
It's a great learning boat for women, teens, or other smaller paddlers. Its short 12' length allows for superior handling while still displaying surprisingly good tracking for a boat of its short stature. Lower decks and the confidence inspiring 24" width allows the paddler to experience a true kayak fit and feel while developing a myriad of skills at their own pace. And at only 28 lbs the Vision 120 is truly the best combination of light weight, toughness, and value you'll find. All members of the Vision family have a generously sized keyhole cockpit that allows for easy entry and exit, as well as ample foot room. Two fiberglass bulkheads create plenty of storage and add floatation, an important safety feature you don't find in many 12' kayaks.
