Hydra Series

Ultimate Performance & Exhilaration

Gelling modern touring design with a splash of DNA from Wave Sports iconic whitewater experience - the Hydra Series unleashes the ultimate combinations of speed, stability, tracking and fun. Complex hull shape and rocker profile are game changing and propel the Hydra into an arena of its own.  

Kayaking should be fun, especially when our free time is so precious... so make it about the journey!

Choose your Hydra

With several kayaks in the Hydra series, there is a sporty tourer to suit all adventure seekers.  Kayakers new to touring will appreciate the comfort, stability, user-friendly handling and exhilarating feel either design of the Hydra offers.  Experienced Paddlers will love the speed, precision, and responsiveness, giving them the freedom to push their limits and explore new horizons.

The Hydra family of kayaks is a four boat line up - with two shorter Hydra 125 models and two longer Hydra 145 models...  both the Hydra 125 and Hydra 145 are available in a standard volume and LV (lower volume) version.

Standard size vs LV

Both LV (low volume) versions of the Hydra offer the same performance characteristics and features as the standard versions - hull designs have been specifically tailored to perform with slightly smaller and lighter paddlers.

Snugger cockpit ergonomics in the LV's allow for better fit and contact for a small/medium paddler. The shape of the cockpit brings both the day pod hatch and a spraydeck pull handle slightly closer to the paddler and in easy reach. Knee and foot positioning is also adjusted, with slightly lower thigh grips and closer footrests.
