Wave Sport Hydra 125: Big fun, small boat!

Exciting News: The Wave Sport Hydra 125 Has Landed!

We’re thrilled to announce that the new Wave Sport Hydra 125 has just arrived in our shop, and we can’t wait to hit the water with it. As long-time fans of its predecessor, the Hydra 145, we’re eager to see how this new, more compact version measures up. Spoiler alert: it’s already shaping up to be a game-changer.

A Compact Powerhouse

The Hydra 125 is designed for paddlers who loved the Hydra 145 but wanted something a bit more compact without sacrificing performance. At a shorter length, the 125 is easier to transport and store, making it an excellent choice for those with limited storage space or those who frequently travel with their kayak. Despite the reduced size, Wave Sport has managed to pack in all the features that made the 145 so popular.

Key Features: What’s New and What’s Familiar

Wave Sport has carefully selected the best features from the Hydra 145 and integrated them into the 125, with a few tweaks to make it even more versatile. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect:

• Discreet Skeg Button: One of the standout features is the skeg slider button, which has been designed to be low-profile, reducing the risk of snagging on gear or during portage. This small but thoughtful design choice helps maintain the kayak’s sleek lines and ensures smooth sailing, whether you’re on calm waters or navigating more challenging conditions.

• Ample Storage Space: For adventurers who like to go the distance, the Hydra 125 doesn’t disappoint. It boasts front and rear storage hatches that are more than capable of holding enough gear for extended trips. Whether you’re packing for a weekend camping trip or just a day out on the water, you’ll have plenty of room to stow your essentials.
• Spacious Cockpit: Comfort is key when you’re spending long hours on the water, and the Hydra 125 delivers. The cockpit is roomy and designed to accommodate larger or taller paddlers with ease. This generous space allows for a more comfortable paddling position and ensures that even those needing a bit more legroom will feel right at home.
• Hard Carving Chines: Fun and maneuverability are at the heart of the Hydra 125’s design. The hard carving chines give the kayak a responsive feel, allowing you to make sharp turns and navigate with precision. This feature is perfect for paddlers who love the thrill of quick maneuvers and want a boat that responds well to their every move.
• WhiteOut Outfitting with Foldout Hip Pads: The outfitting on the Hydra 125 is top-notch, featuring the WhiteOut system that’s both comfortable and functional. The foldout hip pads not only provide excellent support while paddling but also double as a carrying shoulder pad, making transportation a breeze.

Great Value for Adventure Seekers

Priced at £1099.00, the Wave Sport Hydra 125 offers incredible value for a kayak of this caliber. With its combination of portability, storage, comfort, and performance, it’s an ideal choice for both seasoned paddlers and those new to the sport. Whether you’re planning a serene lake paddle or tackling more challenging coastal waters, the Hydra 125 is ready to handle it all.
