The Wood Duck kayak is a standout choice for anyone looking for a light, stable and easy-to-use recreational kayak with the warmth and character of timber. Designed with generous cockpits, ample stability and comfortable handling, the Wood Ducks are suited to relaxed paddling, family use, fishing, picnics and day trips, while still paddling efficiently enough to cover useful miles on the water.

The Wood Duck 10 and 12 are among Chesapeake Light Craft's easiest-to-build kits. The panels are precision-cut, with puzzle joints and pre-drilled stitching holes to help make assembly fast and accurate. The Wood Duck 10 and 12 are compact and light enough to be a very manageable car-top kayaks, while the Wood Duck 12 adds extra capacity and waterline length for larger paddlers, gear, or longer days afloat.

For paddlers wanting more room, the Wood Duck 14 offers a larger, highly versatile platform in a compact package. Its generous cockpit makes it a great option for comfort, fishing, taking a small child or dog, or simply having more space to move. For two-person paddling, the Wood Duck Double carries two adults, while still remaining easy to handle, transport and store.

If you are a keen woodworker looking for a bit more of a challenge, don't forget to explore the Hybrid Wood Duck 10,12 and 14 kayaks as well!
