Design & Construction
- Designed by renowned Swedish kayak designer Björn Thomasson, the V-shaped hull with hard chine, and little rocker, easily cuts through water effortlessly whilst allowing the Expedition Zero to have excellent tracking properties (paddle in a straight line).
- It's made with our signature 3-Layer foam core, sandwiched between high-grade UV stabilised HDPE, make this kayak lighter and stronger than regular polyethylene construction alone.
- The aqua-dynamic shape of this kayak is the basis for its speed and stability, and paired with our premium foot-controlled rudder system, it makes for easy manoeuvrability even with cross winds or stronger ocean currents.
- With enough storage capacity for a day or two worth of gear, this kayak is great for weekend getaways and exploring.
- The build quality is the best in class, with no traces of air bubbles inside the UV stabilised plastic walls, meaning your kayak is superior in durability and won't crack like brittle plastic kayaks prone to air bubbles, due to poor quality control.
- Every single Expedition kayak is tested to ensure 3.5mm thickness, drop tested to ensure perfect plastic bond, balance tested for optimal stability, and water tested to ensure perfect seals.

Reviews
AustraliaI like the kayak but it’s 3kg heavier than you publish. 28kg not 25kg. Also you have changed the rudder from you website, it now no longer folds up and sits in the groove provided for transport tie down, you now have to physically remove it which is a big pain.
AustraliaVery happy with all aspects of my purchase. I was kept well informed from purchase to delivery. Despite Interstate delivery there were no issues and kayak was delivered by a most friendly driver and was well wrapped and protected. Am now enjoying my new kayak which is perfect for my experience level and use.
AustraliaBaysports were awesome to deal with. Quick responses and delivery and nice to have the crew follow up making sure I am a happy paddler. The kayak feels and looks like great quality. I am 100% happy with my purchase and I swear I am not a robot.
AustraliaI've had it for about a month now, and been having a great time, frequently spending a long time on the water. I specifically looked for one with a day hatch in front of me so I could store snacks fairly dry, and it does that perfectly. While the knee pads were nice and definitely good quality, I took them out after the first half hour, due to my leg length and comfort with the height and angle. I much prefer the fit I get now that I took them out, and really feel next to no discomfort just using the plastic side as my knee rest. I also really appreciated that it came with a paddle, as I didn't want to have to spend more money on a paddle. The rudder system is also really great and works extremely well.
I recently purchased an Expedition Zero kayak from Bay Sports. The boat arrived earlier than expected and is a very impressive kayak. Very light for a poly boat as well. Great service, great price and great product.
