The EXPLORER is one of the standards for the modern expedition sea kayak, used by more professional paddlers than perhaps any other model kayak. With its added length it offers longer glide while journeying and faster acceleration when in the large tide races. It has Nigel's extremely reassuring secondary stability. Its volume has carried many of us for month long expeditions even in the Antarctic. Nigel's super comfortable keyhole cockpit maximizes contact with the paddler's thighs which increases control, enhances stroke power and generates high confidence in the larger jobbly rough waters. This boat has the new adjustable performance seat and MIKCo's choice of skeg. It has again received a Readers Choice award from Sea Kayaker Magazine. Come on up and demo for an hour or a weekend and see what you think!
This particular boat is laid up in Nigel's expedtion tough hull with a modern carbon/kevlar deck, bulkheads, and seat.
