Playing off the success of its initial 14-foot design, Freedom Hawk Kayaks released the Freedom 12, a slightly smaller version that offers all the same advantages of its big brother. It starts with Freedom Hawk’s unique hull and patented outrigger system, which allows fly-anglers great stability and the option to stand and cast with relative ease. The Freedom 12 weighs just 72 pounds and is 31 inches wide. Available in four colors, it comes equipped with a casting and stabilizing bar, molded footrests, a paddle holder, flush-mount rod holders, a reinforced floor, a high-back seat and plenty of watertight storage. MSRP is $995. www.freedomhawkkayaks.com
