16'6" Hurricane Tracer Lightweight Performance Touring Kayak - Skeg (RENTAL)

The 16'6" Hurricane Tracer delivers British-inspired performance in a lightweight touring platform. Its moderate V-hull and refined rocker profile provide responsive edging and fast tracking—a feel typically reserved for premium composite kayaks, but here achieved at a fraction of the weight and cost.

Built for intermediate to advanced paddlers, the Tracer features low initial stability paired with high secondary stability. This means it rewards solid paddle technique and rewards refinement in weight distribution; beginners may find it sensitive, but experienced tourers will appreciate the responsiveness it unlocks.

Weather-cocking in windy or following sea conditions is managed efficiently through your choice of a drop-down skeg or optional SmartTrak rudder system, giving you control over tracking and directional hold.

Storage and expedition readiness come standard. Bow and stern watertight bulkheads, front and rear hatches, and deck bungees are designed to support 2- to 4-day overnight trips, keeping gear secure and dry while keeping weight distribution predictable.
