That is interesting that it’s not on google
The front hood compartment is a good way to identify it

Maybe this company is selling a similar one
Still without a manufacturer name

Looking at it and I was mistaken it is not a pedal drive those were the foot braces…..hmmmm

Possibly steering pedals

I am going to say it is a das-king yak perhaps a earlier model?

I'd send Das King an email with the picture. You've got nothing to lose. They may have a PDF document of recommendations for setting the boat up, info on spares, etc.

They seem to have an active Facebook pages. Lots of pictures and videos of customer boats.

I’ve never heard of das king before, those pedals you see would be the rudder controls. Many small brands are bringing in cheap kayaks from China though. They all use the same molds and resell to North America. Let you put your own brand on.



I’ve heard horror stories of people using some of these alibaba kayaks on the middle of the ocean and the flush mount rod holders pop out leaving 2 inch holes on the top of the kayak allowing for water to enter the hull. Also people getting issues with rusting rudder cables ect.

Personally I would stick to all the major American made brands likes Old Town Canoe, Jackson kayak, hobie , Ocean Kayak and wilderness systems .

Thx folks for the feed back....I will let the person who got this yak know that it is a Chinese knock off and there could be problems too.....scary if your miles off shore and things go south...thx again.
