Coastal Kayak - Kaskazi Avocet Details

The Avocet is a fun kayak which is suitable for the whole family. It is small and light and therefore easy to carry, transport and store. Despite its size the cockpit is deep and can accommodate big paddlers.

It is a classic sit inside kayak with a very comfortable seat and adjustable foot pedals. It is wide and stable making it easy for anyone to paddle. It has rocker both bow and stern which enables it to turn instantly either in response to the paddle or the rudder. The Avocet's nimble handling makes it fun in confined waterways and in the surf.

The Avocet is designed as an easy to handle kayak suitable for the whole family. The compact design and stability of the Avocet do come at the expense of speed.

Despite its cute looks, the Avocet is a capable sea kayak and can handle extreme conditions including surf. It has 2 bulkheads creating 3 separate compartments making it virtually unsinkable. It has one large spin-in hatch which can accommodate enough kit for day trips.
