Old Town Heron 9 XT
The Old Town Heron 9 XT is a lightweight, short touring kayak that offers great on the water stability. A well defined bow entry line allows the Heron 9 XT to track well through the water while the flatter mid section of the hull provides stability to make most paddlers feel confident.
The Heron 9 XT comes feature packed so you never feel like you are in a recreational or entry level kayak. A comfortable, well padded Comfort Flex seating system offers an adjustable backrest for a prime paddling position. Thigh pads and adjustable footrests allow for a comfortable lock-in to get better drive out of your paddle stroke, but with a minimal feel of being enclosed in the cockpit. This along with the slightly larger cockpit means paddlers who might have a fear of being trapped in a kayak can still paddle a well performing, stable touring kayak. A rear QuickSeal oval storage hatch with bulkhead provides ample storage for your dry bagged gear, while a bottle holder in the front of the seat and front mounted paddle park keeps the important things close to hand. Solid front & rear carry handles make car topping or moving the lightweight Heron 9 XT to the water a simple task. A couple of fitted flush mounted rear rod holders come as standard with this kayak for those wishing to do a little light fishing, but if that's not your thing they don't get in the way either.
Designed to be that lightweight, short touring kayak that's easy to grab and go the Heron 9 XT not only ticks these boxes but also comes feature packed. It is ideal for use on flatwaters, lakes, rivers and broads and leaves you as a paddler loving every second of being on the water.
