Stately lines, voluminous storage, superior comfort and massive appeal ensure this crafts place in the wild. The Kodiak is designed to balance the counter-purposes of speed, carrying capacity, stability and comfort. At 17', the Kodiak features a Trihedral hull & convex waterlines similar to racing kayaks. The fish-form puts the wide point at the knees instead of the hips for excellent stability in following seas and most wind conditions. The slender width at the hips ensures superior water release. Features include an adjustable seat, thighbrace and backbrace for comfortable, extended expeditions. Hatches, bow & stern, combine neoprene, hard plastic and quick-release webbing straps for dry, easy use. A functional Deck Box has been added for on water gear access. Deck pack nets organize those small essential items and the well placed deck lines aid in the event of a self-rescue. Other new features are a spare paddle hold down and a combination deck-net paddle float self rescue holder. The ergonomic carrying handles make loading and un-loading a snap. Whether you’re a large or small paddler, you will appreciate the Kodiak’s glide, speed and stable cruising abilities, no matter what conditions you may encounter.
