I have a friend who pulls one of the newer gen ones out day in day out over rocks and while it's scuffed it's rock solid with no structural issues - not sure if different from earlier iterations. Supposed to be able to withstand tens of thousands of folds as well. I'm looking at getting their bigger tandem (the Haven) for my kid and I to go out in. It's a chunk of money but I'd want to carry it down cliffs down here in Devon so a full size isn't practical. Have looked at, and may consider, an inflatable but something about that puts me off. I've had a go in an Oru and would have no concerns about longevity.
I haven't yet! But I did meet a guy using one of these a few years back when on a canoe trip with Sparky Snr. It looked good, but I think he said he'd worn a previous one out. And after my experience trying to make a boat I'm just looking for a really easy and bullet-proof option.
