01 — STABILITY

A surf-ready hull that stays planted

The Malibu 11.5's single-layer polyethylene hull is shaped for stability in the surf, giving new and experienced paddlers a confident, straight-tracking ride. Scupper holes self-drain the deck so you stay dry and stable through chop and waves.

  • 11 ft 5 in length with a stable 31 in beam
  • Single-layer polyethylene hull built for surf
  • Self-draining scupper holes keep the deck clear

02 — COMFORT

All-day comfort from the AirGo seat up

A newly designed AirGo molded-in seat and seat pad pair with an adjustable AirComfort backrest so you can dial in support for any size paddler. Molded-on foot wells with calf rests give your legs a relaxed, natural position on the water.

  • AirGo molded-in seat with cushioned seat pad
  • Adjustable AirComfort backrest, 14 in seat back
  • Molded-on foot wells with calf rests
Gear stays secure and within reach
03 — STORAGE & RIGGING

Gear stays secure and within reach

Bungee-secured tankwells at the bow and stern hold larger gear, while a splash-resistant QuickStash dry hatch keeps essentials protected. Three molded-in cup holders and a molded-in paddle rest round out a deck that's ready for a full day out.

  • Bow and stern tankwells with retention bungees
  • Splash-resistant QuickStash center dry hatch
  • Three cup holders plus a molded-in paddle rest
Easy to stack, store, and lock up
04 — TRANSPORT & SECURITY

Easy to stack, store, and lock up

The Malibu's stackable design makes storing and hauling multiple kayaks simple, and a built-in YakLock locking bar at the stern lets you secure the boat when you step away. With a 360 lb total capacity, there's room for paddlers of every size.

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.
