Rapido is made for high speed in rough conditions such as big waves, rapids and boiling water. The flat hull design, from our Fusion surfski, makes it very easy to pick and stay on waves in downwind. The balance between rocker and high volume in the ends ensures a dry ride and easy maneuvering. The primary stability is high so that you can feel relaxed and put power in to every stroke. Rapido comes as standard with two water sealed bulkheads with small hatches on deck for light packing. We deliver the kayak with both an under stern ocean rudder and a kick up rudder. Rudders are easy to switch between depending on how the kayak is being used. Steering is with classic racing pin for maximum leg work. Seat is made low and to give support and comfort.

One of the absolute fastest multisport kayaks on the market! The Rocket is designed for long distance speed in various conditions still extremely fast on flat water, targeting the experienced athlete. The cockpit is more open than the typical multisport kayak, this to allow smooth seating and exiting, but yet tight enough to allow a roll. The design of the deck is aggressive and extremely narrowed in front of the cockpit to ensure a close catch with the paddle. The front area of the deck has big volume to keep the water from splashing over the cockpit. Comes as standard with comfortable seat with high backrest and racing steering with a kick up rudder.

The body of the boat made up by a fiberglass and polyester resin composite, which made exclusively with hand lay-up. The strength of the boats in the Standard category will be ideal for hobby and recreational use.

This category offers an economical construction for touristic an leisure boats.

Super

The body of the boat made up by a composite construction in which reinforcement materials can be found beside the essential 3 mm thick core materials. Beside the 3 mm thick core materials we use kevlar or carbon-kevlar reinforcement and vinylester resin in the body.

In this construction we use the vacuum-bag lamination on behalf of the higher quality and outstanding strength.

Extra

Our Extra construction means top quality of the boat building. A full carbon reinforcement with a vinylester resin solution completes the 3 mm thick core material, all this laminated together under vacuum pressure. All the materals used for the body of the boats as well as for the accessories are the best that can be found on the market. All the technologies used during the whole manufacturing process assure top quality.
