Old Town, Maine (June 27, 2011) Ocean Kayak, a leader in the paddlesports industry since 1971, today

introduced the new Tetra kayak series. Recreational kayaks boasting clean simple design, the Ocean

Kayak Tetra series was engineered for outstanding comfort, superior stability and reliable all around

performance.

 

Built for casual cruising on inland lakes, slow moving rivers and coastal flats, the Tetra series offers an

ideal balance of form and function. As with all Ocean Kayaks, Tetra kayaks are self-bailing for a dry

comfortable ride. The Tetras also feature a new innovation from Ocean Kayak, the Hybrid Comfort Seat

Back. This unique seating system is incorporated into the boat with a fixed seat pad and adjustable back

support for an intuitive custom fit and easy transport. Want to upgrade your seat? No problem, the

Hybrid Comfort Seat Back can easily be removed.

 

“Tetra kayaks are designed as cross over boats for paddlers who might want to dabble in several

different activities,” said Sara Knies, Marketing Director for Ocean Kayak. “Extremely stable,

comfortable and maneuverable, Tetra series kayaks are prefect for those who want a great paddling

experience but also may want to fish from a kayak on any given day.”

 

Tetra kayaks will be available in two standard models, the Tetra 10 and Tetra 12, as well as two Tetra

Angler editions. Key features include the Quick Seal bow hatch for convenient storage, adjustable foot

pegs, large tank well with bungee, low profile grab handles and drain plugs. Angler models will feature

flush mounted rod holders and the Mod Pod II, a narrower version of Ocean Kayak’s popular Modular

Fishing Pod found on the center console.
