The Malachite is the ultimate adventure kayak, bringing high performance to recreational paddlers. It offers all the stability that defines recreational kayaks, but with enough speed for longer trips and fitness training. The ergonomically designed cockpit and paddle cut-aways make long days on the water a breeze. It features large oval hatches for easy access front and back, a day hatch in front of the seat and additional storage space on top of the deck. It is as versatile as it comes, with rudder and angler options available too.

HULL DESIGN FEATURES

• Stability and carrying capacity is the name of the game, accommodating heavier paddlers and heavy loads easily.
• Good speed and an easy glide, while the rocker profile and bow volume keep it manoeuvrable and able to climb over waves.
• Full-length hull grooves enhance structural rigidity and improves tracking.
• The soft rails were designed for the Malachite to be steered like a touring kayak: drop an edge and let the hull do the turning.

DECK DESIGN FEATURES

• The seat is ergonomically designed for great comfort and support without a backrest, although a backrest is available too.
• The footwell keeps the feet together, which allows for a more dynamic paddling style.
• Extended paddle cutaways enables more efficient paddling for much longer.
• The bow boasts substantial volume, with loads of packing space that is easily accessible through the front large oval hatch.
• The stern has a very shallow tankwell, to allow maximum packing space inside the hull through the back large oval hatch. This helps to keep the centre of gravity low for added stability, and it reduces wind interference.
• The Malachite boast 6 comfortable handles: Front and back, and also two handles on each side. The duo side handles make solo manhandling of the kayak much easier and also assist with re-entry after swimming.
• A 10″ hatch a with moulded-in bucket in front of the seat keeps essentials easily accessible. Use that for snacks, meds, or a camera.
• The design is finished off with adjustable footrests, a paddle holder, bottle holder, multiple bungees and bungee hooks. All fittings are recessed to prevent snagging.
