Description

The Sky 100 is a recreational sit-in kayak designed for flatwater use: lakes, ponds, calm rivers, sheltered coastal water.

• It aims to combine comfort, safety, and enough storage, while being lightweight and manageable for transport.

Construction & Materials

• Made using Eddyline’s “Carbonlite” composite ABS/acrylic (“Carbonlite” or Carbonlite composite) material. It is a laminate, thermoformed, with a durable exterior resisting abrasion and UV, and a durable interior.

• Dual bulkheads (bow & stern) adding safety flotation and allowing sealed storage compartments.

• Recessed deck fittings (to reduce snags, for cleaner deck profile) and foot braces to improve comfort and control.

• Seats: It has Eddyline’s Infinity Seat System (“Infinity” or “Infinity-seat”) with padded backrest. Some reviews note the backrest sticks up above cockpit, which affects some maneuvers like self-rescue.

What It Performs Like

Strengths

1. Lightweight & Transportable
   At ~32 lb, it’s very manageable for one person to load on a car roof rack, carry from storage to water etc. Many users report they can move it solo easily.

2. Good Stability for Recreational Use
   It offers a stable platform thanks to its composite material, hull design, moderate width (26 in), and is comfortable for long flatwater paddling. For calm water (lakes, wide ponds) it is well behaved.

3. Decent Storage & Safety Features
   The sealed bulkheads and round hatches give places to stow gear safely; the bulkheads help with flotation in case of capsizing. Useful for day-trips.

4. Good Build Quality & Materials
   The Carbonlite composite ABS is more UV and abrasion resistant than some cheaper rotomolded plastics. Finish tends to be better, with smoother edges etc.

Who It’s Best For

The Eddyline Sky 100 is especially good for:

• Beginners or intermediate paddlers who want something lightweight, comfortable, durable and easy to transport.

• Day paddlers who travel to lakes or calm rivers; when storage and ease of carrying matter.

• Those who value quality materials and a refined finish over lowest cost.

• Paddlers of smaller to medium build (the cockpit and foot braces are more comfortable for shorter to medium height people) who want good stability and safety (bulkheads, hatches etc.)

Summary / Bottom Line

The Eddyline Sky 100 is a well-designed, quality recreational kayak that stands out for its balance of:

• Lightweight build

• Safety features (bulkheads, sealed hatches)

• Comfort for flatwater paddlers

• Decent tracking & maneuverability in its class

If your paddling is mostly around calm water, with moderate gear, and you want a kayak that you can load and handle on your own, this is an excellent option. If you need speed, heavy gear support, or plan rough conditions, you may outgrow it or need a boat more specialized.
