Expedition Zero - 4.85m Single Sit-In Touring Kayak

ComfortFlex Seating System - Our best ever adjustable seat is wider and now with luxurious thick padding. The extra padding provides much wanted comfort and back support, whilst the adjustable position allows you to position your seat just how you like it.

 

3-Layer Sandwich Foam Core Construction - Our signature 3-layer foam core blends HDPE with a foam core, providing greater strength whilst allowing us to reduce the kayaks weight. 
 

SmartTrack™ Retractable Rudder System - SmartTrack’s 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 parallel with the hull for transport and includes a bungee secure latch.

KEY FEATURES

Design & Construction

• Designed by renowned Swedish kayak designer Björn Thomasson, the V-shaped hull with hard chine, and little rocker, easily cuts through water effortlessly whilst allowing the Expedition Zero to have excellent tracking properties (paddle in a straight line). 
• It's made with our signature 3-Layer foam core, sandwiched between high-grade UV stabilised HDPE, make this kayak lighter and stronger than regular polyethylene construction alone.
• The aqua-dynamic shape of this kayak is the basis for its speed and stability, and paired with our premium foot-controlled rudder system, it makes for easy manoeuvrability even with cross winds or stronger ocean currents. 
• With enough storage capacity for a day or two worth of gear, this kayak is great for weekend getaways and exploring. 
• 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.
• Every single Expedition kayak is tested to ensure 3.5mm thickness, drop tested to ensure perfect plastic bond, balance tested for optimal stability, and water tested to ensure perfect seals.
