Designed for recreational touring and all-around use, the 14.6-foot Aquaglide Deschutes 145 inflatable kayak features a minimalist design that handles well in both flatwater and chop. 

The Deschutes' unique "feather frame" consists of a laminated EVA floor paired with an integrated inflatable thwart and stiffening bar - this creates rigidity yet keeps the kayak body lightweight.

Three military valves - both side chambers and rear thwart support - allow the Deschutes to be inflated quickly, resulting in a kayak that is easy to set up.

Front and rear spray guards are positioned to keep paddlers dry, each with bungee deck lacing for attaching gear. Room behind the rear thwart provides ample storage space or the ability to bring a canine companion.

Paddling comfort is enhanced with the adjustable, new Core 2 seats, featuring a foam base and breathable mesh high backrest placed against the integrated thwarts.

The commercial-grade, smooth-skin Duratex hull material is flexible, rugged and dries quickly. This results in a kayak which can easily can be rolled up and packed.

The Deschutes series is perfect for paddlers interested in a nimble kayak that paddles well and is easy to set-up and deflate, with a minimalist, open-cockpit design. With the extra-long length and wider 40 inch beam, the Deschutes 145 is perfect for two adults with extra space for gear, dog or small child.
