The Essence redefines sea kayak performance by integrating the latest design technology to allow expert and novice kayakers to take their sea touring experiences to new levels.
The advanced hull design is solid tracking yet manoeuvrable. Performance adapts to suit the conditions with our multi-position retractable skeg. A strong V shape in the bow and stern gives true directional stability, whilst the defined chines and shallower profile under the cockpit enhance stability and control for smooth, predictable turns
