Kaskazi Skua
Also available in 2 Sit-on-top versions - the AR and ARX, as a 3-piece sea kayak, and in Epoxy and Carbon/Kevlar

Long, sleek and fast. Mid volume fibreglass single sea kayak. A contemporary design with elevated bow section, and relatively low stern. Distinctively fishform shaped with soft chine and slight V-hull along the length of the hull. This combined with limited rocker fore and aft results in a straight running kayak, yet manoeuverable, and is easily steered by leaning. The relatively low initial stability gives the kayak its remarkable responsiveness, while the rock-solid secondary stability and sea friendliness of the kayak will give you the confidence to handle more challenging conditions. This is an ideal expedition kayak, yet performs like a racing kayak, and is the ideal touring alternative to a surfski.

Carbon / Kevlar
When you take the technology developed for the extremes of powerboat and yacht racing and apply it to the construction of a kayak, you can be assured of extreme stiffness in the hull, incredible impact resistance and durability.

While the increased performance in terms of straightline top speed on flat water will only be marginal, the real performance increase will be in acceleration, quicker turning ability and immediate reactions to body input, and ability to catch and run swells. The lively feel of a truly lightweight and stiff kayak is difficult to explain - you have to experience it.

Kaskazi Skua AR & ARX
Double sit-on-top kayak
Sit-on-top versions of the proven Kaskazi Skua. All that changes is the seating arrangement from sit-in-to a comfortable sit-on-top. The rest of the kayak stays identical. Touring sized hatches of the Skua and a retractable rudder are standard items, as is the renowned performance of the Skua. The deep sit-on-top seat has adequate lateral support for effective bracing, while the adjustable pedals cater for all paddlers. The optional detachable deck and spraycover quickly transfers this sit-on-top into a kayak into a fully decked kayak.

The ARX models have everything as standard (drainage, bulkheads, extra deck rigging, detachable deck), while the basic AR model is ideal for adventure racing and training.

Weight: from 22-24 kg.

Kaskazi Skua - 3-piece kayak
We separate the kayak at the two bulkheads to give you three sections of the kayak that are easier to transport and store. To join the kayak strengthened interlocking bulkheads are bolted together.
Once bolted together you have a very standard looking Kaskazi Skua with two faint lines running around the bulkhead areas of the kayak. The kayak will be approximately 2 kg heavier and even stronger than the original Skua due to the extra strength bulkheads.
