The Manitou 14 from Necky Kayaks

Ocean River's Jon Lacroix

Working in the best kayak shop on the planet (and one of the busiest), I thrive on getting people excited about the sport of kayaking. For me, as a sales person and a kayaker, the Manitou 14 from Necky Kayaks represents a go-to kayak for just about anyone getting into the sport.

It’s not very often a product comes along that combines all the elements of great function with great value, giving you more for less. The Manitou 14 is one of those products. As someone who has been selling kayaks for the past 7 years in one of the world’s best and most active paddling destinations, finding all these elements in an entry-level kayak makes my job easy. At only just over $1300 I can get anyone out in a boat to enjoy our amazing coast without ‘breaking the bank.’

The Manitou 14 is designed to be stable for the beginner while offering great playfulness for the kayak enthusiast. It’s a wonderful, user-friendly kayak that fits a variety of paddler sizes and abilities. Its comfortable seat and spacious leg room make it an ideal boat to get started and keep you interested for the long run. Despite its lower cost it is still a lightweight kayak with a skeg and a super comfy seat. These options make it the perfect boat to get you out on the water and be happy. Personally, I really enjoy paddling the Manitou 14 and I recommend you get out and paddle one too!
