The HYBRiD Rudder is unique in many ways:
including the practically
indesctructible material
it is made from.

The rudder blade is
guaranteed for life 
against accidental
breakage!
 

Made in Germany.


Innovative deck design  
 
  The new generation
  Kajak-Sport  internal
  rims have a diameter
  of  240mm ( 9.5") 
  which is slightly larger
  than the Valley
  oval type hatch.

  Round hatches are
  easier to use
  and seal better.
 
  Made in Finland.

Indestructible seat  
  Our seats are made
  from closed cell high
  density foam and are
  available in small, 
  medium and large
  size.
  HYBRiD seats will
  never crack or break,
  but more importantly,
  they provide the right
  balance between 
  action and comfort.

  Made in Australia.

Polyurethane backband 
  Since we were not 
  satisfied with
  the quality of any
  of the backrests  
  available on the
  market, we designed
  our own.

  It's a minimalistic
  design made out of
  durable Polyurethane,
  which will not
  absorb water. 

  Made in Germany.


Non rotating deck fittings  Non rotating deck
  fittings  are by Kajak-
  Sport (Finland).
  They are all glassed
  from under the deck
  and won't leak.
  All deck lines are  
  6mm in diameter.
  The little extra 
  thickness makes a big
  difference in any
  rescue scenario. 
  They also reflect light  
  at night.

  Made in Australia.

Self rescue paddle park
  HYBRiD intelligent
  deck configuration
  includes:

  front day hatch 
  spare paddle storage 
  towing point
  security ring
  self rescue paddle park
  retractable toggles
  as well as allocated 
  space for:
  compass / GPS
  foot or electric pump
  kayak sail

Footpeg/pump/underdeck storage

  We have modified the
  Smart-Track footpegs
  to work with our own  
  rudder steering
  system.

  The system provides 
  solid support for your
  feet, while the toes
  are free to 
  control the rudder.

  Smart-Track is made
  in Hong Kong.

The HYBRiD Cockpit 
  The HYBRiD Cockpit
  seals better and at the
  same time protects
  the spray skirt from 
  impact and abrasion.

  It also provides thigh
  braces in a way that
  you would think is not 
  possible in a sea
  kayak.

  If you think this is a big
  claim, wait until you 
  paddle the HYBRiD!

 
  A white kayak is a
  smart choice for warm
  climate paddling and
  easy maintenance.

  Orange is the most 
  visable on water
  color and a sensible
  choice when safety is
  considered.

  Black absorbs heat
  fastest and could be a
  good option for cooler
  water paddling.
  



 

  The HYBRiD toggles
  are recessed to the
  deck.

  They won't bang
  all day long while 
  you're paddling,
  that's for sure.

Handy day hatch

   Handy front hatch,
   with under-deck bag. 

   We prefer a soft bag
   rather than a rigid tube
   for several reasons;
   the main one being
   that on hot days, you
   may be able to
   paddle with the hatch
   open, which is much
   safer, than removing 
   the spray skirt.
 

                                                                                                                                                               This deck fitting also 
doubles as a security
attachment.

Another HYBRiD first!                                                                                                                                              For the first time, 
in a sea kayak, 
you can reach this 
relatively large sized
hatch and store bulky
objects, like a 
helmet in it.



 


  
  
  The HYBRiD rudder
  works even better
  when the waves
  are up!       
  
 
 


          


 Note: how the bow lifts
 while the rudder
 digs in. 
 
 This characteristic  
 contributes to safer
 wave surfing.

 Confident stability!

  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Fast acceleration!

  








  The virtue of the
