While we do not rigidly adhere to this belief, this length permits comfortable multiday trips due to fundamental physics. The smaller the footprint of a kayak, the more it must sink into the water to support a given displacement, making it more susceptible to variations in load. Consequently, a 16-foot sea kayak is more stable and better equipped for handling a load than a shorter kayak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Sirona, a kayak released in 2015, was met with immediate success, as most testers noted that it retained the versatility of its predecessor, the Avocet, while possessing a more playful personality reminiscent of the earlier Pintail.

The first model is called SP (sports play) and it is designed for rock-hopping, surfing, and rough water kayaking. It has increased rocker and more bow volume to provide better performance in these conditions. The second model is called ST (sports touring), and it is designed to be faster on less challenging water. Despite being shorter than many 16' kayaks, it uses its reduced weight advantage to make it easier to manage both on and off the water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBefore developing the Gemini kayaks, the designers wanted to understand what people were looking for in shorter kayaks. They discovered two groups of people: those who wanted a shorter kayak that was significantly lighter and easier to manage, while still performing like a long boat on the water, and those who believed sacrificing length would make the kayak more fun in surf-zones, tideraces, and for rock-hopping. To address these differing needs, they created \"Project Gemini,\" a unique design approach that created two models using a core DNA, a mid-point design that could then be tuned in one direction to create the perfect touring model and in the other to create a play version. They coupled this design approach with cutting-edge infused composite constructions to create the most exciting development to hit sea-kayaking in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth the SP and ST share the same mid-section, which provides a consistent cockpit fit and shallow 'V' hull stability. If they had created a \"Jack-of-All-Trades\" 14-foot kayak, it would have been a compromise. The SP's bow is wider and has more volume to prevent pearling while surfing, while the ST's front is narrower, with a finer bow entry, to increase speed in more placid conditions. The SP has more rocker to increase maneuverability, while the ST has less to promote tracking and maximize waterline length. Even the flair from the hull's chine area to the seam-line differs, with the SP having slightly more to increase secondary stability and overall width, while the ST's sides are more vertical, giving a slightly narrower water-line to increase hull speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn short, if you primarily tour in relatively placid conditions and want a light, easy-to-transport kayak that has the same speed as many 16+ foot kayaks, choose the ST. If you want a shorter kayak that is fun in rough conditions or maneuverable around rocky coves and headlands, choose the SP. Of course, you can still play in the touring version and tour in the play version because they share the same core DNA. So there is still some overlap, but the further you get to the ends of the intended user-spectrum, the more you'll benefit from choosing the specialist kayak and the more you'll enjoy your paddling, knowing you are in the 'right' kayak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.valleyseakayaks.com\/images\/editor-content\/2b2a98b4eadded68dbbd477fec532dce_ValleySpecsheetgemini.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-align: left; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposite Fitted Options - Priced extra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\"\u003eSpecial Position Bulkhead\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\"\u003eSilva 70 P Compass fitted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\"\u003eExtra R.D.

While we do not rigidly adhere to this belief, this length permits comfortable multiday trips due to fundamental physics. The smaller the footprint of a kayak, the more it must sink into the water to support a given displacement, making it more susceptible to variations in load. Consequently, a 16-foot sea kayak is more stable and better equipped for handling a load than a shorter kayak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Sirona, a kayak released in 2015, was met with immediate success, as most testers noted that it retained the versatility of its predecessor, the Avocet, while possessing a more playful personality reminiscent of the earlier Pintail.

The first model is called SP (sports play) and it is designed for rock-hopping, surfing, and rough water kayaking. It has increased rocker and more bow volume to provide better performance in these conditions. The second model is called ST (sports touring), and it is designed to be faster on less challenging water. Despite being shorter than many 16' kayaks, it uses its reduced weight advantage to make it easier to manage both on and off the water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBefore developing the Gemini kayaks, the designers wanted to understand what people were looking for in shorter kayaks. They discovered two groups of people: those who wanted a shorter kayak that was significantly lighter and easier to manage, while still performing like a long boat on the water, and those who believed sacrificing length would make the kayak more fun in surf-zones, tideraces, and for rock-hopping. To address these differing needs, they created \"Project Gemini,\" a unique design approach that created two models using a core DNA, a mid-point design that could then be tuned in one direction to create the perfect touring model and in the other to create a play version. They coupled this design approach with cutting-edge infused composite constructions to create the most exciting development to hit sea-kayaking in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth the SP and ST share the same mid-section, which provides a consistent cockpit fit and shallow 'V' hull stability. If they had created a \"Jack-of-All-Trades\" 14-foot kayak, it would have been a compromise. The SP's bow is wider and has more volume to prevent pearling while surfing, while the ST's front is narrower, with a finer bow entry, to increase speed in more placid conditions. The SP has more rocker to increase maneuverability, while the ST has less to promote tracking and maximize waterline length. Even the flair from the hull's chine area to the seam-line differs, with the SP having slightly more to increase secondary stability and overall width, while the ST's sides are more vertical, giving a slightly narrower water-line to increase hull speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn short, if you primarily tour in relatively placid conditions and want a light, easy-to-transport kayak that has the same speed as many 16+ foot kayaks, choose the ST. If you want a shorter kayak that is fun in rough conditions or maneuverable around rocky coves and headlands, choose the SP. Of course, you can still play in the touring version and tour in the play version because they share the same core DNA. So there is still some overlap, but the further you get to the ends of the intended user spectrum, the more you'll benefit from choosing the specialist kayak and the more you'll enjoy your paddling, knowing you are in the 'right' kayak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.valleyseakayaks.com\/images\/editor-content\/9542073de60ae47063c89915bbce8a6e_ValleySpecsheetGeminirm.jpg\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"http:\/\/www.valleyseakayaks.com\/images\/editor-content\/9542073de60ae47063c89915bbce8a6e_ValleySpecsheetGeminirm.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-align: left; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"additional-class-1020779367  bd-content-element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposite Fitted Options - Priced extra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\"\u003eSpecial Position Bulkhead\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\"\u003eSilva 70 P Compass fitted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; text-align: left;\"\u003eExtra R.D.

Following the successful prototype testing, we incorporated several changes into the production boat. The hull has increased volume in the nose for a dry ride out through the surf and an enhanced tail section to give smooth ride characteristics when climbing over steep waves (and a good pick-up when surfing!) The overall length has been shortened slightly to make off-the-water storage and handling a little easier too. The waterline length however remains, to maintain a nice turn of speed. When held flat the hull tracks in a straight line even when coasting, and has been balanced by a combination of volume distribution and shape to give neutral directional stability in most wind conditions. Even though the ISEL is a smaller boat it retains enough volume and shape in the bow and stern to shed water in the roughest conditions, giving a smooth, dry ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hull section changes character, from a Vee at the entry point of the bow, rounded through the front section, soft chined under the cockpit, rounded again under the stern hatch to a defined keel section at the stern. The rounded sections of the hull give a cushioning effect in waves while the chined section aids surfing and maximizes top speed in downwind situations. In testing, we have been pleased with the ease of wave catching and the high top speed when surfing. The square sides above the chined section combined with the width gives high secondary stability when the ISEL is edged or leaned. The chines also assist turning when the boat is placed on edge. Towards the limit of edging the ISEL firms up and remains a stable and predictable platform. The hull volume distribution progressively disengages the stern during edging, making the kayak easily maneuverable as the stern keel raises to the surface, releasing its grip and aiding turning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lowered deck of the ISEL, combined with the integrated thigh braces of the cockpit rim and the adjustable seat, make for a precise fit that provides accurate feedback and instills confidence. The ISEL is fitted with the Rockpool Kayaks designed adjustable plate footrest. This is angled for a strong natural ankle position which allows the paddler to finely adjust their leg alignment. Matched with the adjustable seat this places the paddler in a dynamic and comfortable position for paddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seats are moulded GRP shells which are adjustable front-to-back at 10mm intervals. The adjustable seat and footrest are mounted on internal hull fixings without drill holes. This relieves the cockpit rim and deck of unnecessary stress and provides a variable seat position for increased feedback to the paddler. The foam hip pads, located within neoprene pockets may be foam shimmed to fine-tune hip fitment. The backrest integrates with the seat to prevent diving while entering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rear edge of the cockpit rim is lowered to make the ISEL easy to roll and even hand roll. Adjustable fittings are incorporated in order to carry split paddles on the front or rear deck.

The hull configuration gives high forward speed due to its long waterline relative to the overall length. The hull shape maintains good directional stability when moving but the flatter centre section and chined hull gives good manoeuvrability in confined spaces and tight turns. The Eto is designed to have neutral directional stability in most wind conditions and requires minimal use of the skeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bow has good shape and volume to maintain a dry ride through choppy conditions. The buoyant bow is nicely balanced with the volume in the stern to give a gentle ride over large, steep waves. The volume in the stern also allows the Eto to accelerate nicely when catching a wave without the nose tending to bury. It surfs well, catching waves easily and then responsive but forgiving when riding the wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fullness of the centre section gives confident and predictable edging with high levels of stability even when under an extensive lean. As the boat is leaned the stern progressively lifts from the water, making the turn progressively easier and quicker. When combined with the hull chines this gives a smooth and fast turning boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cockpit rim is keyhole shaped with integrated thigh braces. There is a small hatch in front of the cockpit with a surprisingly large volume and in front again is a combined attachment point. This new feature allows you to attach a short tow line to be used either side, a paddle park or can be used as a security fixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BACH Eto is fitted with the Rockpool Kayaks designed adjustable plate footrest. This is angled for a strong natural ankle position which allows the paddler to finely adjust their leg alignment. The cockpit rim gives a snug fit for the paddler which provides excellent feedback, demonstrated by the precise and crisp handling. Matched with the adjustable seat this places the paddler in a dynamic, comfortable and efficient position for paddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of padded backrest and choice of seat widths makes the Eto a most comfortable kayak for extended use. The seats are moulded GRP shells which are adjustable front-to-back at 10mm intervals. There are hip pads that can be foam shimmed to fine tune hip fitment. The adjustable seat and footrest are mounted on internal hull fixings without drill holes. This relieves the cockpit rim and deck of unnecessary stress and provides a variable seat position for increased feedback to the paddler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a new layout to the recessed deck fittings on the front which incorporates fittings to carry split paddles on either the front or rear deck.

While the Alaw and Alaw Bach designs have both been very successful, there was still a need for a larger expedition boat. The Menai 18 hull was formulated to tick off the miles quickly while carrying a serious load of expedition kit. Though this is a large boat, the flat centre section of the hull allows for good manoeuvrability on the spot or in the surf.

No simple matter! The long waterline combines a large cargo volume with a good cruising speed. In order to counter this length and maintain good manoeuvrability, a flattened hull was placed in the centre section. This results in surprisingly good manoeuvrability for spot turns and when in the surf, it also gives very good levels of stability. The extended keel section to the rear maintains good directional stability when paddling on a heading but lifts free from the water when on a lean to aid turning. The MENAI has been designed to remain directionally neutral in most wind conditions with a slight tendency to turn up-wind as wind strength increases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wide hull and distinct chines give a very stable boat with comfortable and predictable edging characteristics – this is a good boat for taking photographs! The large volume in the bow gives a nice dry ride through chop and gentle handling over larger waves. The fine stern complements the bow, allowing the boat to ride up and over steeper waves. The volume distribution in the centre section allows the stern keel section to lift during edging, shortening the waterline and increasing the manoeuverability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MENAI deck has obvious differences from other boats in the Rockpool range. First of all is the fitting of an oval front hatch; this allows easy storage of bulky expedition kit in the bow as well as the stern. The front deck also has a small day hatch fitted just ahead of the cockpit. This gives easily accessed storage when afloat for all those useful bits and pieces you need on longer crossings. No need for an ugly deckbag! The front deck also has a moulded compass recess and mouldings for storage of split paddles. The number of deck elastics has been increased to provide greater storage for items too bulky to fit in the forward day hatch. All deckline fittings are recessed for a neater, smoother look and to make life a little easier during rescue drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear deck too has a large oval hatch, along with a conventional day hatch. There is a clear area just behind the cockpit to allow fitting of a deck mounted towing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MENAI is also fitted with the Rockpool Kayaks designed adjustable plate footrest. This is angled for a strong natural ankle position which allows the paddler to finely adjust their leg alignment. Matched with the adjustable seat this places the paddler in a dynamic and comfortable position for paddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seats are moulded GRP shells which are adjustable front-to-back at 10mm intervals. The adjustable seat and footrest are mounted on internal hull fixings without drill holes. This relieves the cockpit rim and deck of unnecessary stress and provides a variable seat position for increased feedback to the paddler. The foam hip pads, located within neoprene pockets, may be foam shimmed to fine tune hip fitment. The backrest integrates with the seat to prevent diving while entering. As in the rest of the Rockpool fleet, the MENAI has been designed with ease of rolling in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MENAI has the characteristics of a large boat with plenty of space, good speed, stability and a dry ride; but it also sees itself as a little smaller with impressive manoeuvrability and crisp handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRockpool kayaks are made using two different techniques, called the Standard and the Premier.

This process uses a much stronger epoxy resin combined with a higher strength of carbon and aramid cloth to give a greatly improved strength to weight laminate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKayaks made using both manufacturing methods are of similar strength, but the higher quality Premier construction uses less material resulting in the Premier being lighter than the Standard construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.rockpoolkayaks.com\/construction.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMore about Rockpool's designs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kayak Ontario Outfitters","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":45906852642982,"sku":null,"price":6195.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Premier","offer_id":45906852675750,"sku":null,"price":8525.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/8970\/6150\/files\/6.png?v=1729806873"}],"url":"https:\/\/efcad8-3.myshopify.com\/collections\/sea-kayaks.oembed","provider":"Kayak Ontario Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
