Our take on the Aventura V2 Skeg

The Aventura V2 Skeg is a 14-foot rotomolded polyethylene day-touring kayak with an adjustable skeg, sealed fore and aft bulkheads, deck bungees and perimeter lines. At 26 inches wide and 70 lbs, it trades some speed for stability and a 395 lb capacity, and it can take an optional rudder. It is the longest boat in Feelfree's Adventure Touring line, built to sit between a recreational kayak and a sea kayak. Its rating is 5 out of 5 from 18 ratings; no current price was provided, so check the latest store comparison before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the Aventura V2 Skeg worth it?
For a first touring kayak, yes: you get skeg tracking, sealed bulkheads and perimeter lines in a durable polyethylene hull. If you paddle long distances or car-top alone, a lighter or narrower boat may suit you better.
How does it compare with a recreational kayak?
It is longer and narrower than most recreational kayaks, so it tracks better and is easier to keep straight in wind. It is also heavier and less maneuverable in tight spaces.
Do I need the optional rudder?
Most paddlers can skip it. The adjustable skeg handles wind and cross-chop, and a rudder mainly helps with long crossings or strong currents.
How much does the Aventura V2 Skeg weigh?
70 lbs. Plan on a cart or a second person for roof-rack loading.
What is in the box?
The kayak with its adjustable seat, skeg, deck bungees and hatches. A paddle, spray skirt and rudder are sold separately.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on polyethylene kayaks tend to drop at end of season and during spring sales. Compare store prices and check the price history before buying.
