A low-profile half-inch keel in the bow improves tracking efficiency, while three air chambers and a 35-inch beam keep the Kaholo 145 steady and predictable for paddlers of every level.

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.

About this kayak

RecreationInflatableCalm Lakes & PondsSmall Lakes & Rivers

The NRS Kaholo 145 is a lightweight, ultra-packable inflatable tandem kayak built for calm-water paddlers who want versatility without compromise. Winner of the 2026 Paddling Magazine Industry Award for Best Sea/Touring Kayak, it delivers the stability and glide of a hardshell in a format that rolls up small and travels light. The Z/Blend Core® woven drop-stitch floor provides outstanding rigidity, while overlapping RF-welded seams ensure reliable air retention. A QuickClick® fin system lets you swap fins for different conditions, and the Kaholo transitions easily from tandem to solo with included aluminum hardware.
