Hydra 145/145LV

The Hydra 145 and Hydra 145LV are sporty touring kayaks with modern hull designs that lead the under-15-foot category. Their sleek, stylish lines hint at the speed and performance screaming to be unleashed. The Hydra possesses plenty of attitude and can certainly hold its own in the big stuff. By maximizing the waterline, the hull delivers impressive acceleration, top speed, and glide, while maintaining width through the midsection lengthens and straightens the chines, arming the Hydra with responsive control and handling. The slightly shorter Hydra 145LV (low volume) punches the same combination of acceleration, top speed, tracking, and handling as the standard Hydra 145. All Hydra models feature Wave Sport’s COREtour outfitting with WhiteOut padding, offering unparalleled comfort and control, with leg-lifter support to fine-tune fit for all-day paddling. With a vast array of storage choices from hatches, bungees and accessory rails, the Hydra is high in features, comfort, performance and style. New for 2026, both Hydra models will also be available in TriFuse Technology, combining SuperLinear HDPE with foamed PE to deliver advanced hull performance.
