P&H Valkyrie

The Valkyrie is a Sea Kayak designed for speed; whether you use that speed to take on more extensive open water crossings and expedition, to challenge a circumnavigation record, or just to inject a touch more adrenaline into your day trips, it's up to you. A narrow, vertical bow maintains maximum waterline length whilst slicing cleanly through the water, creating a clear path for the rest of the kayak's hull to follow efficiently; added benefits of this shape are increased bow hatch volume, and a more engaged hull at the bow counteract windage. Rounding out the Valkrie's high-performance design are ergonomic paddle entry cutaways, a low volume back deck for unhindered rolling and re-entry, and of course, moulded-in fitting for quick and easy installation of the P&H Kayak sail systems. Key Features: Slender Hull for maximum speed Square cross-section hull under the paddler offers supreme initial stability, and also lends itself well to surfing paddle entry cutaways just in front of the cockpit allow for more vertical blade entry closer to the kayak Highly rockered, cut-off stern efficiently releases surface tension and is preceded by a pronounced rocker profile to loosen up the stern when turning between waves and provide lift during downwind surfing Lightly angled hatch rims towards the centre of the kayak allow easier access, particularly when loading long items such as tents Optional day and mini hatches for increase load versatility Over stern or fin rudder, the over stern rudder is suited to shallow water or heavy beach loading, whilst a fin rudder offers increased efficiency and is less affected by wind or waves. Construction type is Corelite X with Connect Outfitting Colour Options: Turquoise (blue)
