The Expedition HV is the big brother of the Expedition LV. The Expedition HV is the best choice for paddlers ranging from 75 kg to 100 kg. The kayak is ideal for longer trips, but is also very suitable for paddlers on a day trip who wish to have extra space for storing supplies. Total volume of the kayak is a generous 350 liters.

Expedition combines speed, stability, volume, weight and design very well! Few kayaks can match its all-around capabilities. One of the first things you will notice on this kayak is its elegant lines.

Expedition has a modern Swedish form, which means that it is wider behind the cockpit. The Swedish form likewise gives the kayak a longer waterline. Compared to stability, this is a very fast kayak. You will notice straight away how stable and safe it feels when waves come without warning while paddling on the sea. If you are experiencing bad weather, you will be surprised by how well you are able to keep up in speed, despite the inclement conditions. When embarking on longer journeys, you will appreciate the large and spacious hatches this kayak offers. The Expedition comes with two generously large, watertight compartments and a small reachable storage space ideal for a mobile phone. It also comes with a special accessible hatch for a fishing rod or lantern. We have managed to manufacture one of the best sea kayaks on the market that features a unique feeling of stability and safety along with its high versatility. This kayak has only one limit, and that is you!

The Expedition's day-hatch situated in front of the cockpit is great for stashing a mobile phone or camera. The kayak also includes a new backrest regulation system allowing a paddler to adjust positioning while sitting securely in the vessel. SeaBird power pedals are also featured in the Expedition, which allow pedal adjustment of 15 cm in either direction and let you fit the kayak's steering capability precisely to your individual needs. Thigh braces can also be regulated by ten centimeters both ways.
