A sporty identity you can feel and see:
Commander type-S is an expedition kayak in the new series.


A sea kayak for those with a passion for long distance paddling and who want an exlusive design that radiates with sportiness.

This kayak was also designed by Boris Jakovlev. He has used the principles of design with a round hull form for this kayak.
This gives predictable and well-balanced sea-going qualities important to the kayak's area of use. The focus on design of the hull was in order to give the kayak a smooth, track stability action and a high degree of stability in a sea environment.
The kayak has a hull form and deck design optimized for saving energy during long-distance paddling, with or without a load. Without cargo there is potential for a high average speed.

The deck form, with its finely cut line for the best paddling ergonomics, is an important detail borrowed from the Extreme type-R.
Both the deck and hull are hardshell in order to retain optimal hydrodynamics and give you support even in very tough sea environments. The load volume of the kayak will satisfy even the fussiest long-distance paddlers.
