The experience of discovery and the thrill of sea kayaking doesn't belong only to the most experienced kayaking experts...
Although, if your expedition requires an accompanying map, then you may need the added speed, increased comfort and storage space that kayaks in the Essence range provide.
The kayak's modern hull design incorporates a rigid V-shaped hull and tail, with precise bottom-to-side kayak surface connections that provide true directional stability and excellent stability control.
The kayak's predictable handling, manoeuvrability and admirable speed progression throughout the cruise gives kayakers the consistent performance required for such an outstanding expedition. The right start as well as stability will allow you to take your paddling experience to new experiential levels, whether you are an expert kayaker or just beginning your first paddling experience.
No matter how far you paddle, or in what extreme conditions, proper craft performance is essential for optimal control of your kayak.
Our Zone EXP seating system can be found in the Essence Series kayak types, enhancing your unique experience during your paddling expeditions without limiting your all-day comfort. An adjustable, easy-access footrest section, as well as soft padding in the thigh straps and low-profile ergonomic back strap attachments, all contribute to all-day comfort.
There's plenty of room inside the vessel to reach the items you need to use, while the larger fold-down compartments provide plenty of space that's essential for multi-day cruises. For those who would opt for a longer cruise, they can also make use of the compass to get on the right course.
Set up and adjust the TruTrak skeg system with our unique electronic steering system, even in high winds or rough water. If you prefer to control your direction via your feet, then the option of a Tip-Toe operated rudder system can be very inexpensively positioned to help set your sailing course. The Essence 17 type kayak is slightly longer and bulkier than the Essence 16 type kayak.
Thus, it provides ample room and options for the average or large paddling enthusiast and is capable of carrying heavier types of loads without affecting its operation.
The kayaks in the Essence range will give you everything you need for a week-long or special trek or an exciting day on the water, delivered only by this design, which is your 'right hand' kayak.
