Current Designs bills the Squall GTS as a “sporty tripping kayak capable of extended tours.” Indeed, if you can’t fit all your gear and the collapsible kitchen sink in this 16-footer’s two voluminous hatches, then you should consider downsizing your kit, not upsizing your boat. A consistent performer with heavy loads or empty hatches, the new Squall is a predictable, all-purpose companion on longer tours and after-work jaunts.
