The Sweetwater 126 is Back for 2024 with a Brand New Console Layout
With a twin-channel hull focused on maximizing stability in a seated, paddling or sight-casting position, the Sweetwater 126 delivers the performance, confidence and comfort necessary for a long day on the water. It also boasts a pronounced keel for excellent tracking and an upswept bow for lift over swell and chop.
A high-low 1st Class Frame Seat provides a comfortable, breathable spot to paddle or cast, and the seat can easily be removed to lighten the craft for transport. Fully-featured from bow to stern, the Sweetwater 126 sports a 10" bow hinge-hatch, padded side-handle Groove Tracks, two 5-inch day hatches (stern and midship), a taco paddle holder, two inset rod holders, and large stern well with bungee.
New for 2024, Hurricane's redesigned the cockpit console to take the popular gasketed H-Pod, 4-inch gear track and new padded Fly Cove. This kayak is a lightweight fishing machine that will appeal to fly fisherman and larger paddlers looking for a stable sit-on-top.
The Hurricane SweetWater kayak is a lightweight and versatile recreational kayak that excels in calm waters such as lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers. Designed by Hurricane Kayaks, known for their innovative use of lightweight materials, the SweetWater combines performance with ease of use, making it a popular choice among paddlers seeking comfort and maneuverability.
Measuring 3.66m or 12'6" in length and weighing under 24kg's, the SweetWater kayak is compact yet spacious enough to accommodate paddlers of different sizes.

This makes it suitable for beginners looking for a stable platform to build confidence and for experienced paddlers seeking a nimble craft for exploring narrow waterways.
Constructed from lightweight thermoformed ABS plastic or Trylon, the SweetWater kayak offers durability without the weight of traditional polyethylene kayaks. This material choice not only makes it easier to transport to and from the water but also enhances its longevity against UV rays and impact resistance.
The kayak features a comfortable cockpit with an adjustable padded seat and backrest, providing support for longer paddling sessions. Adjustable foot braces accommodate different leg lengths, enhancing comfort and control. Additionally, the cockpit design allows for easy entry and exit, making it user-friendly for paddlers of all ages.
