Review of Boreal Design Halo 130 by Steve:

The Halo 130 is a good choice for paddlers looking for a touring kayak that provides good performance/stability at under 19 kg in a very polished 4.0 m package or only 21kg with rudder The Halo 130 also has two water tight storage compartments making it a good option for kayak camping as it can swallow quite a lot of gear. Certainly a great craft to transition from a smaller recreational kayak into a touring craft, the Halo 130 has all the benefits of superior glide/performance and storage but no weight penalty.

The polycarb material has a lot of the stiffness and weight saving of glass/carbon craft but is more durable making the Halo 130 a great option for many paddlers.

A good kayak made uncomfortable

By: on 26 May 2021
After looking at numerous kayaks I finally decided to buy from C-Kayaks a Boreal Design Halo 130 plus the rudder accessory. My first test of the kayak plus rudder indicated that rudder pedal was not as good as on other kayaks I have paddled, however I thought I could adjust the pedal to make it more comfortable. After more use of the kayak I find that improving the peddle arrangement is not possible. Essentially Boreal and C-Kayak have not added the simpler and more functional peddle system used on other Boreal products and on other older manufacturers kayaks. The system sold on the Boreal Design Halo 130 could result in thrombosis unless the kayaker is carefull to rest his legs from the uncomfortable arrangement and positioning involved in controlling the rudder. If you are paddling on smooth water you can avoid using the peddles to control the direction of the kayak. However in rough water with even a medium strength wind I find I need to take advantage of controlling the rudder. The longer you paddle under those conditions the more uncomfortable is the C-kayak/Boreal peddle system. Be warned. Rob Sleigh
