Explorer series is a classic of hiking kayaks. Designed for harsh conditions to travel long distances. The Explorer is our main expedition and three different sizes should suit any size hiker. The explorers are faster than the Romany series, with good maneuverability, good handling, high load capacity and good capacity. It would also be classified here Latitude a model designed for tall and slender people.
Pilgrim series kayaks are designed from the start for a smaller, thinner, lighter rider. The hull of the pilgrim is narrower, the boat is somewhat more unstable, smaller in volume and therefore easier to control.
Romany series is a well-managed, low-key "playboat" at sea. Thanks to the quick and immediate response, Romany is the "work boat" of many marine kayak trainers. Romany series boats are produced in five body shape with small variations. There are two plastic models - Romany Sport and Sportive .
