Tahe Wind 505 Sea Touring Kayak

Wind 505 is a new design for 2008. It is a fast and stable cruiser, packed into a compact and beautiful form. Slim body with small amount of rocker is the key to good acceleration and cruising-speed. Shallow v-shaped bottom provides confident stability and edging. SmartTrack footrest- and steering system used on this kayak is considered to be one of the best on the market. Water-tight compartments of Wind 505 are spacious enough to allow making multi-day trips. If you look at the deck lay-out, Wind 505 has virtually everything you could expect from a modern touring kayak. Keyhole cockpit gives adequate support for knees, to make you feel yourself comfortable on rough waters. Relatively low back-deck makes rolling easier. The day-hatch, commonly placed behind the cockpit, is replaced with mini-box in front to allow faster access. Behind the cockpit, there are rescue straps to make paddle-float entry easier and stainless hook which can be used for locking down your kayak. Via stainless ring in the bow, this kayak can be towed if you should be in trouble.Due to its size and shape, Wind 505 is a perfect choice for lake-riding. But we tell you a secret - this kayak is capable for much more. Just catch some surf-waves or make some multi-day trips with this kayak and you find it out yourself.
