Source: orukayak.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by amazon.com. The Oru Kayak official product page (orukayak.com/products/lake) confirms this exact base "Oru Lake" model at a listed "Current Price $499.00", showing 17 LBS weight, a 9' x 32" footprint, and double-layer polypropylene (OruPlast) construction — distinct from the pricier Lake Sport ($699) and Inlet ($899). The Amazon listing (Model Name "Oru Kayak Lake Foldable Kayak", Model Number "Lake", MPN OKY601-ORA-LK) corroborates model identity and specs: 17 lb weight, Polypropylene (PP) material, 9 x 32 in size, 250 lb max capacity, and a single paddler (max paddler height 6'4"). Every source states length only in feet (9'/9'0"), never inches, so lengthInches is left null rather than converting; hatch count, rod-holder count, seat type, and tracking aid are not explicitly stated on any fetched page and are left null.
