The Valley Genesis RM is the shortest roto-moulded kayak in Valley’s range at 15’. Perfect for rock-hopping, surfing, and playful coastal paddling, the Genesis RM is also the lightest RM kayak Valley makes. Its efficient hull design means it can match the speed of many 16-foot kayaks, while still offering enough storage for a few nights away. Unless you’re planning extended multi-day expeditions or need maximum straight-line tracking for big open crossings, this kayak delivers everything most paddlers want in one fun, versatile package. Durable roto-moulded construction ensures the Genesis RM can take hard knocks, whether you’re exploring coastal cliffs, playing in rough seas, or heading inland for a touring adventure. For paddlers who value manoeuvrability, durability, and all-round fun, the Genesis RM is a top choice.
Based on the proven Valley Gemini design, the 15-0 RM sits between the two composite Genesis sizes (14’10” and 15’1”), giving it the broadest possible fit range for paddlers. Its shorter length doesn’t just cut weight, it also improves responsiveness, making it easier to transport, launch, and handle on the water. Beginners benefit from faster skill progression thanks to immediate feedback, while experienced paddlers will love its agility in tide races, surf zones, and rocky shorelines.
