Vision 130 Kayak

The Vision 130 is a composite transitional kayak from Current Designs, designed to bridge the gap between more recreational paddling and the safety features and handling required to handle larger open waters in calm to moderate conditions.

At 13' long, the Vision 130 a bit lighter and more nimble than the Vision 140, with responsive handling and confidence-inspiring feel and stability. Like all of the Visions, this kayak features the safety of two bulkheads to maintain flotation even in case of a wet exit. A retractable skeg improves tracking and handling in the wind, important for wide-open waters. At 44lbs, the Vision 130 is easy to car-top even when solo. All members of the Vision family have a generously sized keyhole cockpit that allows for easy entry and exit, as well as ample foot room storage capacity. They also feature lower faceted decks that have minimal wind exposure making for an enjoyable in-control paddling experience. These features coupled with the confidence inspiring 24” beam allow the Vision 130 paddler to experience a true kayak fit and feel while developing skills at their own pace. The Vision 130 is constructed from a vacuum bagged composite hybrid material, which allows for an unsurpassed combination of light weight, stiffness, toughness and value.

General Information:

Swede Form: Widest behind the cockpit, Swede form has a cleaner, longer, and more slender entry, giving efficient touring speeds and maneuverability. In shorter lengths these kayaks are very responsive. Longer kayaks with this feature have amazing acceleration and track well. Because of the narrow bow they may punch through a steep wave, rather than ride over it.

Soft Chine: A smooth transition from the bottom of the hull to the sides. Soft chines give smooth edging at unlimited angles. The majority of kayaks that we build have a soft chine.

Shallow V: The “V” shape improves tracking, has a lively feel and delivers very comfortable stability.

Keyhole Cockpit: A keyhole cockpit blends the openness of a recreational cockpit and the integrated thigh braces of a touring cockpit. The result is an easy to enter and exit cockpit that offers performance, fit, and solid connectivity to the kayak.
