Features:

 

Retractable Skeg

A slider fitted near the cockpit, operates a retractable skeg to ensure the kayak can be easily trimmed to suit all conditions.

 

Glass Reinforced Seam

Outside seams have a hardwearing Diolen tape application.

 

 

Welded Contoured Bulkhead

Our contoured bulkhead comes as a standard feature. The curved form allows for flexion of the hull, particularly when stress is concentrated on a spot when running aground.

 

Ergonomic Seat System

Our seat system includes an ergonomically contoured seat pan, three dimensional adjustable backband and padded customisable hip shims.

 

Moulded-in Deck Fittings

The modern standard for cockpit size, allowing easy escape or lifting of the knees whilst incorporating well placed thigh grips for great contact with the boat.

 

 

Colour Options

We keep these colours in stock at all times. Available for decks, hulls & outside seams.
