    SmartTrack™ Hybrid Foil Retractable Rudder System

    SmartTrack Foil Blade is an application of the same design principle used on airplanes and the hulls of America’s Cup sailboats. Water moves across the Foil Blade surface with minimum turbulence. Plus it retracts to lay parallel with the hull for transport and includes a bungee secure latch.

    Please note the rudder system in the above video and some imagery is the older style rudder, and all new Expedition kayaks come with the spring loaded SmartTrack Hybrid Foil rudder system. This new system is far easier to raise & lower the rudder into and out of the water via a single cord and lays flat when stowed as shown below.

    Build Quality

    The build quality is the best in class, with no traces of air bubbles inside the UV stabilised plastic walls, meaning your kayak is superior in durability and won't crack like brittle plastic kayaks prone to air bubbles, due to poor quality control.
