Ocean Kayak Frenzy Review
Bottom Line:
The Ocean Kayak Frenzy was discontinued and replaced by the Ocean Kayak Malibu 9.5
Experts are full of praise for how easy the Frenzy is to handle and get up to speed. This is a boat that seems to appeal mainly to the beginner market, but reviewers state it’s a lot of fun to ride even if you have experience on the water.
The Frenzy appears to fare well on choppier waters, and despite looking quite short and chunky, offers a lot of space and plenty of paddling confidence. It might not look powerful, but it holds its own at an impressive speed.

Performance of the Ocean Kayak Frenzy
The Ocean Kayak Frenzy, is a great example of why you should never judge a book by its cover. It’s a fairly short and wide boat, but testers feel the tracking and maneuverability is top-notch – to the extent that it’s surprisingly easy to handle.
Experts also state it’s a highly stable boat (visually so before even getting onboard) and that it has plenty of room for taller riders despite appearances suggesting otherwise. The main focus word for this kayak appears to be “fun.”
That’s why experts believe it’s a great entry-level boat. It seems this kayak will welcome beginners onto open and choppier waters with confidence while it boasts enough power and maneuverability to appeal to experienced paddlers.
It also receives top marks for portability, with handles and lightweight construction earning praise from reviewers online.
