EXPLORER HV

Designed for rough water & covering distances, this expedition kayak is manoeuvrable, maintains good directional stability & carries higher loads. Designed to fit the large paddler. The HV (high volume) in the cockpit has been increased by adding 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) of extra height between top of the seat & underside of the deck. Also, a raised area either side of the cockpit has been added to facilitate more leg room. This enables the knees to be raised upwards for added comfort & outwards for greater edging & leaning control. The hull has not been altered.

The Explorer HV is fitted with the high performance glass seat, unless otherwise requested. The kayak has a low rear deck for easy rolling, a keyhole cockpit that gives excellent grip, control & allows quick exit if need be. The sloping bulkhead (whitewater bulkhead) behind the seat allows the kayak to be emptied by lifting only the bow, no x-rescue is necessary.

For the larger paddler.
