A crossover kayak that truly excels on any type of water. The Katana is designed to inspire confidence, with a balanced rocker profile that provides speed on flatwater and manoeuvrability on whitewater. The hull offers excellent primary stability, while the angled and flared sidewalls provide secondary stability. The rounded stern deck shape, inspired by the Mamba design, allows water to flow easily over the kayak, making it forgiving on moving water. The more spacious cockpit compared to traditional whitewater designs provides a less confined feel. The reinforced stern compartment and removable bow bulkhead offer plenty of storage space, while the drop-down skeg adds speed and stability.
