The Tasman
Express is an exceptional
performance sea kayak. At 5.3
metres long, this sleek
looking craft has been
designed to maintain a good
forward speed, especially when
loaded up with gear. Its low
profile and flared bow enables
this kayak to perform
extremely well in adverse or
windy conditions. An
aerodynamic rudder blade is
fitted to prevent drag and
increase forward speed and
turning performance.
A comfortable
seat, combined with a roomy
cockpit and foot room make the
Tasman Express a body friendly
kayak for endless hours of
paddling.
A centre
'storage box' is moulded in
just behind the cockpit. The
wall thickness of the box is
only 2mm, allowing for much
more storage area, while
providing a watertight
compartment with easy access.
