Product Features

HDPE Construction - High Density Polyethylene is one of the toughest plastics used in kayak manufacturing. It resists impact, UV exposure and general wear from rocks and shorelines. This matters because a rigid HDPE hull holds its shape under load and lasts far longer than inflatable alternatives under regular outdoor use. 110kg Weight Capacity - At 110kg this kayak accommodates most adult paddlers along with a reasonable amount of kit. Weight capacity directly affects stability and buoyancy exceeding it causes the hull to sit dangerously low. Knowing the limit upfront means you can plan what to bring without compromising safety on the water. 4 Drain Plugs - Water getting into a sit-on-top kayak is normal waves splash over the deck and water pools in the footwells. The 4 drain plugs let water escape efficiently rather than accumulating and weighing the hull down. Remove them when on the water and replace them before lifting the kayak to avoid carrying unnecessary water weight.

Included Backrest - Paddling without back support becomes uncomfortable quickly. The included backrest supports your lower back during extended sessions on the water. This is particularly important on a sit-on-top design where your posture is more exposed than in a sit-inside kayak. It's a practical addition that makes a real difference on longer outings. Bungee Cord Deck Storage - Two sets of bungee cords are fitted to the deck to secure dry bags, water bottles or other kit. On a sit-on-top kayak there's no enclosed storage compartment so deck rigging is your primary storage system. Bungee cords keep items accessible but held firmly in place even if the kayak tips. Optional Trolley - At 18.5kg a rigid kayak is awkward to carry any distance alone. The optional trolley lets you wheel it from your vehicle to the water's edge without straining your back or needing a second person. This is a practical solution for solo paddlers launching from car parks or beaches with uneven terrain.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this kayak can carry?

The kayak has a stated weight capacity of 110kg. This refers to the total load meaning the paddler's body weight plus any kit, clothing and equipment on board. Staying within this limit is important for maintaining correct buoyancy and hull stability. If you're close to the limit, keep additional gear to a minimum.

How heavy is the kayak and can one person carry it?

The kayak weighs 18.5kg. For many people that's manageable over a short distance on flat ground but awkward to carry solo across uneven terrain or for any real distance. One verified buyer noted it was too heavy for her to lift alone at 73 years old. The optional trolley is worth considering if you'll be moving it any distance from your vehicle to the water.

What material is the kayak made from and why does it matter?

It's made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) using a blow-moulding process. HDPE is a rigid thermoplastic that's widely used in kayak manufacturing because it's impact-resistant, doesn't absorb water and holds up well against UV exposure over time. It's a more durable choice than inflatable PVC for regular use on lakes and rivers.

Will the kayak arrive with scratches or marks on it?

The product listing states clearly that due to storage and transport these kayaks may arrive with scratches and surface defects. The manufacturer confirms this does not affect performance or use in any way. One customer review noted the outer packaging was thin black plastic which tore during delivery causing some surface scraping. This is worth bearing in mind if cosmetic condition is important to you.

What safety standards does this kayak meet?

This kayak conforms to the 2001/95/EC General Product Safety Directive and ENISO25649-1:2017. The ENISO25649 standard specifically covers floating leisure articles for use on and in the water and sets requirements for safety, performance and testing. Compliance with these standards means the product has been assessed against recognised European safety benchmarks.

Does the kayak come with a paddle included?

A paddle is not automatically included. At the point of purchase you can choose to add a paddle to your order. If you already own a suitable kayak paddle you can select the option without one. Make sure you select the correct option before adding to your basket as this affects what arrives with your order.

What colours are available and can I choose?

The kayak is available in five colours: blue, green, orange, red and yellow. You select your preferred colour at the time of ordering. Bear in mind that colour availability may vary depending on current stock levels. The colour has no effect on the kayak's performance it's purely a personal preference choice.

What are the full dimensions of this kayak?

The kayak measures 2.55m in length, 0.75m wide and 0.27m in height. These dimensions are important for two reasons. First, you'll need enough roof rack or storage space to transport it. Second, the 75cm width contributes to the kayak's stability on the water wider hulls are generally more stable which makes this a sensible choice for beginners paddling on flat water.
