Essence 16/17

The thrill and experience of sea kayaking isn’t just for experts… however if your expedition requires a map, then you’re going to need the added speed, comfort and storage found in the Essence. The Essence 17 has a touch more length and volume than the Essence 16. This gives more space and forgiveness for average to large paddlers and carries heavier loads without compromising on its handling abilities. The Essence 16 is ideal if your paddling style suits a slightly livelier and more nimble ride. Snugger ergonomics than the Essence 17 allow for close control and also give a great fit for smaller paddlers. A strong V-shaped bow and stern with defined chines provide true directional stability and splendid edge control. Predictable handling, maneuverability and impressive forward speed gives paddlers all the performance needed for that great expedition. Good initial and secondary stability will allow you to take your sea touring experiences to new levels, whether you are an expert or developing your paddling skills.
