The Ana Acuta

The closest descendant to the original skin boat and the closest experience to paddling a genuine Greenland kayak. Several thousand years of evolution led to this design of kayak: narrow, low, hard chined with graceful bow and stern profiles. When people say traditional sea kayak, this is what most people think of. This is the only kayak certified by the American Greenland Kayak Association is being worthy of the title ‘Greenland Kayak’, which isn’t a skin on frame. Slowly this dynamic form of paddling is beginning to gain traction in Australia, & we’re please to now be offering this classic boat for the purists.
