Dex

A playful and nimble kayak for day and weekend trips where high seas and surfs are more than welcome. A boat for those who appreciate contact in leans, edges and manoeuvres. Low volume. Low profile. Tight cockpit. Its responsiveness in combination with good tracking also makes a suitable mid/long-range kayak for smaller paddlers. It has three watertight compartments and is standard equipped with the Kajak-Sport skeg system.
Available in 3 lay ups:

Traditional lay up (TR) Polyester/Diolen and fiber glass,

Extra Rigid (XR) Vinylester/carbon/Kevlar/glass fiber and diolen

Carbon light (CL) hull of carbon fiber sandwich with diolen resin with a deck constructed in fiberglass and vinylester.

TR is like the classic Skim yet with more reinforcement and therefore more rigid
XR is as expected even more rigid and nearly bomb proof
CL has the same rigidness as the XR but is by far the most lightweight lay up of the three.

The Distance is prepared for use with a rudder, yet the rudder is an option.
