Our intrepid adventurers of the South Pacific have returned victorious - alive, fulfilled, and amazed!
Designed and led by TRAK Pilot Zack Kruzins of in May 2026, these two back-to-back kayak expeditions introduced TRAK paddlers from around the world the legendary islands and coral atolls of French Polynesia.
After landing in Papeete, Tahiti, each group assembled their kayaks and packed up for a week of true expedition paddling. Together, they crossed sheltered lagoons, explored tiny islets protected by ranging surf, camped at remote villages whose inhabitants welcomed them with open arms, and ate plenty of delicious traditional cuisine complete with entertainment, stories, and lifelong friendships.
For TRAK paddlers, this is what kayaking is all about: lifelong exploration, learning, and connection in places we simply couldn't reach without a packable sea kayak.
Real travel. Real adventure. Off the beaten path, where no one else can follow.
Where will your TRAK take you?

POV: your kayak fits in a bag…
but still takes you here.
Clear water. Remote islands. Wild coastlines. A kayak that travels with you, instead of deciding where you can go.

Which slide would you paddle into first?

🌋 MASSIVE props to TRAK paddler Ryan Bishman from the Pacific Northwest who just completed the race - a journey of more than 70 miles - in just 25 hours!
Two years ago, when Ryan set a goal to complete this race, he knew it would require a change in his equipment, skills, and endurance. Choosing the TRAK 2.0 ended up being a key part of that journey.
Since then, Ryan has trained consistently—paddling several times a week and building up both skill and endurance.
Here's what Ryan shared with us after completing the race:
"[The] boat has been a great partner throughout. It gave me the confidence to push longer distances and handle a wide range of conditions. What I’ve appreciated just as much is the support from your team. Anytime I’ve had questions or looked to upgrade components, you’ve been responsive and helpful. That kind of support matters, especially when preparing for something as demanding as Seventy48. Thanks again for building a great product and backing it with great people."
Congrats and thanks to Ryan for defying what's expected from a packable performance kayak and inspiring the rest of us to paddle longer, harder, and further 🙌

People often ask us, "what did the TRAK 1.0 look like?" Well, here it is!
The TRAK 1.0 offered the same on-water performance and brilliant adjustable rocker as the 2.0 -but it was a lot heavier, more bulky when packed, and admittedly trickier to travel with (especially by air). Average assembly time was longer, and the potential use cases were a bit more limited.
Still, 20 years since it was first launched, the TRAK 1.0 (aka the T-1600) remains legendary. It was the first true performance sea kayak designed to fit in a bag, and owners all over the world are STILL paddling them!
Shoutout to our Team Elder, Gion, pictured here, who has been with us since the beginning ❤️

There are places you don’t just paddle through.
You slow down. You look up. You feel the weather move across the mountains and the water shift under your boat.
And for a while, that’s enough.
Where’s the one place that made you stop paddling and just take it all in?
