01 — HULL & HANDLING

Hard chines and a flat bottom that carve on command

The Ocoee's flat-bottom hull paired with crisp hard chines delivers the signature carving feel that made it a whitewater legend. Edge it into an eddy and it locks in for precise, technical moves.

  • Flat-bottom hull with defined hard chines for aggressive carving
  • 5.5" of rocker for quick pivot turns and front surfing
  • Edge-sensitive design that rewards skilled, technical paddling
Built in T-Formex to take a beating
02 — MATERIAL & DURABILITY

Built in T-Formex to take a beating

Crafted from Esquif's tough T-Formex laminate, the Ocoee shrugs off rock strikes and hard landings that would damage lesser hulls. It's the modern, rugged successor to Royalex at a price that keeps you on the water.

  • Durable T-Formex construction engineered for repeated impacts
  • Vinyl gunwales for resilient, low-maintenance trim
  • Available in Blue, Red, and Yellow
Lock in with a saddle and thigh-strap setup
03 — OUTFITTING & FIT

Lock in with a saddle and thigh-strap setup

The Ocoee can be rigged with a pedestal saddle and thigh straps or a bulkhead saddle configuration, connecting you to the boat for confident control through technical lines.

  • Choice of tight-strap or bulkhead saddle outfitting
  • Snug, connected fit for precise edge control
  • 16" depth helps keep water out in pushy whitewater
A slalom-bred boat for technical river play
04 — PERFORMANCE

A slalom-bred boat for technical river play

Originally designed by Frankie Hubbard, the Ocoee excels at open-canoe slalom, eddy work, and technical maneuvers. It's the boat for paddlers who chase precise lines and clean moves over raw difficulty.

  • Front surfs and pivot turns with ease
  • Excels at precision eddy work and carving
  • 500 lb max capacity supports paddler plus full whitewater outfitting

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.

You guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
