Multipurpose, multi-day fun
For the adventurer who is drawn to the excitement of whitewater, but who wants the freedom to paddle further, the Katana will glide through rapids and calm water, with room in the stern for a full compliment of expedition gear.
A crossover kayak that truly excels in any water, the Katana was designed to inspire confidence in the paddler with a balanced rocker profile for speed in the flats and maneuverability in whitewater. The hull is designed for initial stability while the beveled and flared side-walls create secondary stability. The rounded stern deck shape, taken from the Mamba design, sheds water easily, making it forgiving in moving water. The Katana also offers a more spacious cockpit than traditional whitewater designs for a less confining feeling. Reinforced hatches and a removeable bow bulkhead offer unparalleled gear storage, while the drop skeg add speed and stability.
