Freya Hoffmeister is one of only two to have circumnavigated Australia in a kayak. She is the only woman and unassisted paddler to have achieved this feat. Following this 2009 adventure she is currently circumnavigating South America –the first ever to attempt this. When Point 65 began designing the FREYA 18, safety, comfort, and speed were key design features. The result is stunning. Even the most experienced paddler can become frustrated with the constant bracing in the rough. The Point 65 FREYA 18 changes everything. This lightning fast expedition kayak is designed for maximum speed when Conditions get real.The FREYA 18 is designed to outrun most anything while keeping its rider safe in the cockpit through the most fearful chop, surf, wake or you name it. After hours of paddling, being safe is essential. It’s the combination of speed and stability that makes the FREYA 18 truly unique.
The FREYA 18 compiles all Freya Hoffmeister’s experiences from years of extreme long-distance expedition paddling, and the result is a kayak with unbelievable speed vis-a-vis stability and comfort. It is designed in cooperation with award-winning design engineer and avid paddler Magnus de Brito, using highly advanced hydrodynamic design technology combined with experience and extensive testing, Freya and Magnus have created a unique expedition kayak that is faster than most while comfortably stable even in the roughest conditions.

The FREYA 18 is packed with several groundbreaking innovations and will be presented to the European market at the 2012 PADDLEexpo trade show in Nuremberg. The FREYA 18 will be available in limited edition and on special preseason order.

Produced in advanced light weight composite technology, the FREYA 18 is available as two options: Fiberglass 25kg/55lbs) and Pro Lite in carbon/kevlar (21kg/46lbs).
