Back for a limited time only, the Karma Traverse mates a stretched, slightly wider version of the highly acclaimed Karma with unique features to make for one of the most versatile crossover kayaks ever. While the Traverse will handle whitewater with ease, its longer waterline and retractable skeg make for less effort when knocking out miles of flatwater. YakAttack gear track allows for attachment of all sorts of accessories like camera mounts, smartphone holders, fishing rod holders, cup holders and more. Full JK whitewater outfitting including the Unishock footrest system and an optional implosion- proof “Expedition” rear hatch cover make the Traverse truly expedition-ready. One boat for many waters and many uses... the Traverse.
