Beginning with an intensive survey in 2015, TRAK received more than 1600 responses from paddlers the world over.  TRAK learned what paddlers are looking for in a kayak and what they are hesitant to accept. They are hungry for something portable but skeptical of something fragile. They want something that is beautiful and of high quality but also seaworthy and robust.<\/p>\n<p>TRAK then put the prototype to work with the testing grounds (well&#8230;.actually water) around the globe:<\/p>\n<p>Feb 2017: Baja California, Mexico \u2013 Ian Westmoreland and Roy Morrill<br \/>\nMar 2017: Jamaica \u2013 David Morgan and David Munger<br \/>\nApr 2017: Nicaragua \u2013 Braden Gunem &#038; Claire Cripps<br \/>\nApr 2017: Bay of Biscay, Spain\/France \u2013 Antonio Navarro and Dani de la Puente<br \/>\nApr\/May 2017: Inside Passage \u2013 BC to Alaska \u2013 Jeff &#038; Darren Quesnel<br \/>\nMay 2017: Standing Wave \u2013 Quebec \u2013 Jaime Sharp<br \/>\nMay 2017: Tofino Surf Camp \u2013 TRAK\u2019s 20\/20 Team<\/p>\n<p>And finally, TRAK compiled a team \u2013 The 20\/20 Team lead by pro-paddler Jaime Sharp &#8211; to learn about the TRAK 2.0, critique the design, performance, and collaborate with TRAK to make the best performance portable kayak.<\/p>\n<p>The result is THE Kayaker\u2019s Kayak \u2013 portable, light-weight, high performing, and durable. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How about a super lightweight packable sea kayak?
