- An outstanding rough-water expedition kayak proportioned for larger paddlers
- Ultracomfortable cockpit with adjustable seat, hip pads and thigh braces for a precise fit
- Hull is stable in rough conditions; drop skeg enhances tracking control
- For full-day and multiday expeditions in a wide variety of weather and water conditions
An outstanding rough-water expedition sea kayak proportioned for larger paddlers. Exceptionally capable and comfortable, it stays in control even in rough conditions, letting you have fun and refine your skills rather than fight to stay on course.
The hull's increased rocker and chine enable skilled paddlers to stay on course in rough seas and carve turns on edge. Retractable skeg gives you even more control in rough water. The Gen2 polyethylene hull is high-density, stiff and lightweight plastic, thin yet durable with a smooth finish and rich, long-lasting color.
Phase3XP outfitting gives you the precision fit that open-ocean conditions demand. Sculpted high-density foam conforms to provide excellent support for your back and thighs. Thigh braces, hip pads, seat and ergonomic back band all adjust to custom fit your body, so the boat responds instantly when you brace, lean and accelerate. Adjustments are within easy reach while you're in the boat and use friction rather than ratcheting for precise control.
SlideLock foot-brace adjustments are also within arm's reach, so you can reset the foot pegs while in the boat. Footpads are shaped to alleviate foot fatigue.
Hatches and bulkheads provide plenty of dry storage for gear. Expedition deck rigging and compass mount are recessed to minimize deck spray. Reflective perimeter deck line provides extra visibility. Carry handles attached with shock cord provide shock absorption to ease the load on hands, wrists and shoulders. This is a 2012 closeout model. USA.
Dimensions Overall 17" x 22"; Cockpit 34" x 18".
Capacity 300 lb.
Stern storage 4,841 cu. in.
Bow storage 4,749 cu. in.
Day hatch 2,366 cu. in.
Weight 57 lb.
