This kayak is designed for air! It carves surfing turns wonderfully, cartwheels smoothly, hops like water on a hot skillet, and loops like a drunken circus clown. Comes with 2 bow plastic/non-breakable bumpers (5" and 8") which attach with stainless bolts (supplied). These bumpers change the boat's performance characteristics and length. Spray cover included. I also have a NEW vintage high-end Schlegel Extreme WW paddle for sale: carbon-reinforced; high-density blade foam; aluminum blade edges. $450 Shipping/insurance extra, if applicable.
