The Outer-Island Kayak is a low volume strip-built kayak following the West Greenland lines. The kayak is designed for intermediate and advanced paddlers with its 21 inch beam ...yet its quite stable ...comparable to many boats in the intermediate level. At 18 feet', its quite fast with a stronger tracking characteristic yet plenty maneuverable for sea touring, playing in waves and winding along rocky shores. Performance The Outer-Island kayak maintains its low lines yet will comfortably handle 6’3” paddlers with plenty of foot room and will not force you into a straight leg position. Its 7” rear deck height behind the seat, allows for ease of leaning back when rolling yet can still carry a weekend trip. The kayak is a total joy to paddle with its effortless speed and the way it cuts across waves as well as the secure feeling it gives you when you lean it. All who try it are extremely surprised by its friendly handling and speed. The Outer Island has been tested in 5 and 6 ft. waves and will perform as good or better as the most acclaimed kayaks in the world. Its length of 18' increases speed and achieves it’s long low looks. As far as initial stability ... it's similar to a Valley Pintail, Necky Arluk III, Arctic Hawk with much greater secondary. I've never had anyone who wasn't overwhelmed with the kayak, its handling as well as its stability. Jay Babina, Designer • Email |
