Sea kayak Valkyrie

adultsoloHDPE

Please note that all Valkyries are built using our advanced, triple-layer, foam-core HDPE construction, CoreLite X. Unlike other CoreLite X models, the inner and outer colours on the Valkyrie are matching for production reasons. Designed for speed; whether you use that speed to take on more extensive open water crossings and expeditions, to challenge a circumnavigation record, or just to inject a touch more adrenaline in to your day trips, is up to you. A narrow, vertical bow maintains maximum waterline length whilst slicing cleanly through the water, creating a clean path for the rest of the kayaks hull to follow efficiently; added benefits of this shape are increased bow hatch volume, and a more engaged hull at the bow to counteract windage. Rounding out the Valkyrie's high performance design are ergonomic paddle entry cutaways, a low volume back deck for unhindered rolling and re-entry, and of course, mould-in fittings for quick and easy installation of the P&H Kayak Sail Systems. Key Features Slender hull with maximum waterline for maximum speed. Square cross-section hull under the paddler offers supreme initial stability, and also lends itself well to surfing. Paddle entry cutaways just in front of the cockpit allow more vertical blade entry closer to the kayak for optimum paddle stroke efficiency. Highly rockered, cut-off stern efficiently releases surface tension, and is preceded by a pronounced rocker profile to loosen up the stern when turning between waves and providing lift during downwind surfing. Lightly angled hatch rims towards the centre of the kayak allow easier access, particular when loading longer items.
