普象-让好设计发光

This single-seater kayak is ideal for beginners and people with disabilities, as well as for recreational activities and lake fishing. Long-life HDPE (high density polyethylene or carbon fibre) is used as a low-cost option for ultimate weight reduction. Because of the blow-moulding technology that creates the kayak as a single form, the body construction allows for simple and quick production.

The main tenet of this concept is the shape transition between the aggressive V shape of the fore and the opposing U shape of the tail. The double keel acts as an anti-overturn system, helping with maintaining a vertical position. The hydrodynamic V shape with a flat wide tail provides greater stability and control in the water.

Because of the 3-point ba-se and U-flat tail profile, it can be stored both vertically and horizontally. The top-view bullet silhouette aids in direction control, and improved ergonomics are provided by the comfortable hydro-resistant memory foam seat insert. The body shell has a waterproof storage compartment and two textile straps for a more secure hand-held carry. The kayak dimensions are 2500 mm (length), 760 mm (width), and 360 mm (height), which is compact enough for easier transportation and shipping.
