The iconic Kiwi kayak has been upgraded.

The SeaBear Waitoa has been modernised and gives a paddler of today modern comforts on the proven hull design. The SeaBear remains the classic touring kayak but has combined this with high standards in deck design.

A team of experienced paddlers and designers have worked on the SeaBear and are pleased to introduce the modernised version. Ron Augustin made the redesigned model; as experienced Paddling Perfection kayakers know: Ron is the designer of the SeaBear.
