The medium version (MV) as all other models use a super comfortable seat from Kajaksport, fully adjustable and super strong to survive many many rescues. The backrest is the same like the HV version. There is an option to order the kayak with a foam seat. That saves about 700 gr of weight and you also gain a little bit more leg room (around 1.5 cm). If you do prefer a foam seat over the Kajaksport you will need to mention that in the ordering form plus if you want us to fit it into the kayak or you prefer to do the fitting yourself. General speaking, it is better to fit the seat yourself as you might have to move it a little bit forwards or backwards depending your body type and paddling style.
The kayak has a low rear deck for easy rolling while a keyhole cockpit that gives excellent grip control and allows quick exit if need be.
The cockpit length has been carefully planned to fit small paddlers.
The forth small hatch in front of the rim is sloping on all sides, allowing an effortless entry and exit to the kayak.
We got also a sloping bulkhead behind the seat which allows the kayak to be emptied by lifting only the bow. This is particular important in rough water rescues as no x-rescue is necessary.
Recommended paddler size
Weight between 70-90kg
Height between 1.70-1.85m
Please note the above sizes are only a guide. The sizes above also allow for equipment to be carried. A new paddler will feel more comfortable in the HV version if he/she is above 1.80m as the stability will be greater.
