The journey never ends.

For years X-Rays have been paddled through straits from the Dead Sea to the Sea of Japan. With its strong secondary stability, great cruising speed and dry ride even in rough seas, the X-Ray is poised to forge many more straits.

But 2007 promises some improments. New innovative foot-braces and a re-designed comfortable yet functional back support raise both the level of comfort and control. But the spacious cockpit and ample carrying capacity for extensive expeditions will remind you why the X-Ray is already a legend throughout the seven seas. For 2007, the X-Ray emerges vacuum bagged in fiberglass and infusion-molded in kevlar/carbon. Equipped as standard with a deep retractable skeg, The X-Ray is available with an optional ingenious redesigned retractable rudder and an optional day hatch.



As suitable for expedition paddlers as for entry level day-trippers, the shallow “V”-shaped hull offers excellent characteristics in rough weather, and minimizes yaw even when neither rudder nor skeg is deployed. The well defined chines permit easier turning with strong secondary stability while the distinctive foredeck-taper to avoid paddle impacts is a design characteristic of all Point 65°N kayaks. The cockpit is of key-hole design and suits all types of paddlers, its ergonomic seat providing excellent support.



The cockpit is of a keyhole design to suit all types of paddlers and is fitted with an ergonomically seat as well as the Smart Track rudder control system, which allows for comfortable support as well as strong steering efficiency. The recessed fitting behind the cockpit is designed for towing and locking capabilities.

The X-Ray is available in five separate variations depending on your requirements and preference. It comes equipped with the retractable rudder or a large skeg to enhance tracking. The most popular variation is fitted with both.

The X-Ray is also available with or without a day hatch within arm's reach of the paddler from the cockpit. When fitted with day hatch a third bulkhead is added which makes this compartment self-contained. The Point 65 X-Ray is designed by Swedish kayak designer Johan Wirsén.
