Are you one of those outdoorsy types that digs the occasional adrenaline rush and the whole getting back to nature thing? What about those of you that are living in less-than-spacious quarters where storing some of your bigger gear is just not an option?

Folbot (think "folding boat") is one company that's got it together when it comes to portable outdoor gear. The Charleston, SC company specializes in designing and building foldable kayaks, and their CitibŌt model will have even you guys living in one-room New York City shoeboxes paddling away in no time.

One of their most space-saving models, the CitibŌt, is a sleek one-man kayak made specifically for the city dweller that doesn’t even have the luxury of a walk-in closet. This thing will fit just about anywhere. You can cram it in your closet or shove it under your bed... and at only 24-lbs stored in in its backpack you can carry it anywhere your granola-loving heart desires.

The CitibŌt is rugged, sleek and takes only a few minutes to assemble (the video below says 12.5 minutes... but I gotta figure that's after a few practice runs), to its full 10-ft length. And if you’re into hitting the skies to find your next adventure, the CitibŌt is airline checkable. That means you won’t get anally compromised for attempting to travel with a traditional kayak – not to mention you could save yourself about $200 in baggage fees.

The CitibŌt by Folbot is a perfect solution for the water sports lover in everyone. It’s perfectly portable, available in eight different colors, and it sports a price tag that won’t force you to have to choose between your next meal and hitting the white water.
