Anas Acuta

LENGTH 17'2" (523cm) WIDTH 20" (51cm) DEPTH 11.5" (29cm) WEIGHT* 49lbs (22.5kg)

The closest descendant to the original skin boat and the closest experience to paddling a genuine Greenland kayak. Several thousand years of evolution led to this design of kayak: narrow, low, hard chined with graceful bow and stern profi les. When people say traditional sea kayak, this is what most people think of. *Weight as for standard Diolen construction, weighed without hatches.

[ Standard ]  Retractable Skeg A slider fitted near the cockpit, operates a retractable skeg to ensure the kayak can be easily trimmed to suit all conditions.  Glass Reinforced Seam Outside seams have a hardwearing Diolen tape application.  Contoured Bulkhead Our contoured bulkhead somes as a standard feature. The curved form allows for flexion of the hull, particularly when stress is concentrated on a spot when running aground.  Ergonomic Seat System Our seat system includes an ergonomically contoured seat pan, three dimesional adjustable backband and padded customisable hip shims.  Keyhole Cockpit & Thighbraces The modern standard for cockpit size, allowing easy escape or lifting of the knees whilst incorporating well placed thigh grips for great contact with the boat.
