Freedom Hawk Kayak - Freedom 12

This is no ordinary fishing kayak. The Freedom Series, such as the Freedom 12 Kayak, is the first line of angling kayaks designed from the waterline up to allow the user to stand safely and comfortably, thanks to the patented Integrated Outrigger Design. Simply pull the two levers conveniently located on either side of the hull to open the rear Outriggers, and enjoy stability like you never thought possible.

Can a watercraft that is streamline in its traditional form for efficient paddling also be as stable as a Jon boat, fulfilling the demanding needs of a sportsman? Why not?

Kayak fishing is about quickly accessing hard to reach hot-spots, and fishing from a seated position is passive and not effective. So to achieve the best kayak fishing experience Freedom Hawk had to engineer something special.

They sat down and combined their experience on the water with their engineering prowess and created kayaks that quickly transition into an angling platform.

That is what they patented - a vessel that fishes as well as it paddles.

"Freedom Hawk's unique stand-up fishing kayak system makes stability and fish-ability a reality for the avid angler. The ability to stand up on your kayak allows for a full range of motion and vision that you were never able to experience on your typical "sit-on-top" kayak. The outrigger stability system allows anglers to skip, pitch, and flip with comfort and precision. Anglers are now able to sight fish and keep an eye on what is going on under the water like never before. With an integrated casting brace, rod holders, and optional motor mount the Freedom 12 Kayak has angler-specific features to meet your needs. If you were turned off from kayak fishing due to being confined to your seat, be sure to check out the Freedom Hawk line of kayaks and experience the true form of Freedom Fishing."

The Freedom 12 Kayak represents the next generation of Freedom Hawk Kayaks, taking Stand-Up Kayak Fishing to a new level.

This ultimate fishing machine features a patented inline outrigger system, giving anglers a choice of 3 positions. It paddles like a conventional kayak when in the first position. Position two offers additional stability when fishing or rigging a rod. The third position fully extends the outriggers into their patented "inline position" for maximum efficiency when paddling, fishing, polling, or motoring (with the optional motor mount). Now you can stalk fish with less drag and water movement, or gain additional paddling stability in more challenging paddling conditions.

The Freedom 12 Kayak also features a new lightweight hull, featuring a break down carrying weight just over 50 pounds.

There's only one fishing kayak innovative and stable enough to put you in position to catch more fish - the new Freedom 12 by Freedom Hawk Kayaks.

· Carry weight, 54 lbs.
· In-line outrigger design
· Self-bailing with 4 scuppers

Our PATENTED inline outrigger design is now available with a third inline position, maximizing your performance in every situation - whether polling, motoring, paddling or standing.

Ask any pro bass angler and he'll tell you, to catch more fish, you need to stand. Freedom Hawk kayaks are ruggedly engineered for stability with the standing fisherman in mind.

The outriggers are easily removed for transport and storage. When removed, the overall length of the kayak is reduced to 9' and it's carrying weight is only 49 lbs.
