DESCRIPTION: The Hurricane Santee 116 is designed to be Light, Steady and Comfortable. At only 36 lbs, this is one of the lightest Rec kayaks of its length, regardless of price. The secret to this weight savings can be found in its Thermoformed construction.

Two sheets of ABS plastic with an Acrylic cap are heated, vacuum formed and bonded together. The result is a kayak that is light, attractive, stiff and with 5 times the UV resistance of the typical Polyethylene boat. Although the Thermoformed ABS construction yields greater UV stability, abrasion resistance and stiffness, ABS is not as impact resistant as Polyethylene. Consequently, Thermoformed ABS is not recommended for abusive environments such as Whitewater.

The stable Santee 116 is ideal for Ponds, Small Lakes, Marshes and other Protected Waterways. The longer length of the Santee 116 (compared to the Santee 100) gives a good blend of maneuverability and efficiency. An average paddler can expect to cover 2-2.5 miles in an hour of paddling. The increased displacement of this boat makes it well suited for Small to Large sized paddlers. Those requiring a giant cockpit size should consider the Santee 116 Sport.

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:

  • Aquabound Mantaray or Stingray Paddle
  • Paddling Specific PFD
  • Kayak Cart
  • Bilge Pump
  • Spray Skirt for Rain/Splash
