This kayak is ideal for the Intermediate paddler or a beginner looking to improve their paddling technique.

Its rudder allows the user to progress technically while benefiting from the advantages of a rudder. When leaning, the reverse hard chine and semi-arched hull offer excellent secondary stability and outstanding manoeuvrability.

For those seeking a low-maintenance kayak both solidly built and performance oriented, a plastic model is also available.

The Fjord with skeg is designed for the intermediate paddler seeking technical proficiency.
A reverse hard chine and semi-arched hull add to the kayak's secondary stability and outstanding manoeuvrability, allowing the occupant to perfect lean style paddling techniques.

The skeg control system allows the skeg to be adjusted to provide the exact amount of blade immersion required to maintain a course in windy or choppy conditions.

A composite model (fibreglass, Kevlar® or carbon) is available for paddlers seeking a combination of low weight and performance.

Fjord is a Norwegian word and refers to a steep-walled, generally deep inlet between high rocky cliffs that was gouged out by the passage of a glacier and flooded by the sea.
