Short for Dive-Fish-Paddle, the DFP is a sit-on-top kayak that will maintain stability even while you stand, fish and do the Harlem Shake in the middle of the lake. They’re calling it “the most versatile, multi-functional kayak around,” extending the humble boat’s use to well beyond a leisurely row.
The DFP uses a pair of spring-loaded pontoons that can fold out of the sides and lock in place, allowing you to stand and fish on a stable platform. When you need to get the boat moving, just fold them back into the recesses along the hull and you can row with the same water-cutting form of a regular kayak, adding no drag whatsoever. With a swept nose and keel front bow design, it can ride capably in both calm and moderate water, so you can take it to lakes, rivers and oceans with equally good performance.
