Cedar-strip kayaks are admired for their beauty and
functionality. Kayak combines the best qualities of stitch-and-glue plywood
kayaks with the beauty of a cedar strip deck.
The Kaya kayak kits has graceful hull lines with the added strip-planked deck. The look of a cedar-strip hull with great
handling of a West Greenland-style hull.
As paddling boats, the Kaya's are sophisticated
and fast. On the water, the Kaya demonstrates excellent poise and
responsiveness in a broad range of conditions, edging turns easily when leaned
but tracking straight when pushed hard in surfing conditions. The narrow beam
and low profile translates into fewer corrective strokes and more paddling
energy spent on covering ground. The speed and relatively narrow beam
means the Kayas are not beginner paddling boats, but athletic paddlers
and paddlers with intermediate skills will find them an excellent fit. Price:$3400
