The Eddyline Samba is a great entry-level touring kayak. Its thermoformed construction means it’s lighter than a roto-molded polyethylene boat and has good primary stability from its 22.5-inch beam.
At only 43 pounds, the Samba is easy to transport to the water, load onto your vehicle, and glides through the water with ease. It has a built-in skeg, which can be deployed to keep the boat tracking in a straight line in windy conditions, and comes with an adjustable seat, back band, and footrests that offer optimum support and comfort.
The stern and bow hatches provide ample dry storage for weekend getaways, and the deck bungees allow you to store and transport additional gear and equipment within arm’s reach when you’re paddling.
The Eddyline Samba is a great kayak for light touring paddlers seeking comfort and stability.
