Raider X Fibreglass Sea Kayak

The design concept of the Raider-X was to create an exceptional fast expedition style kayak with the stability normally associated with much wider kayaks. The Raider-X is the ultimate combination of form and function. The sleek lines of the hull carves the water surface effortlessly and manoeuvres with complete ease. Its long water line provides excellent tracking and the ability to catch and run swells like an expert.

Standard Features

The Raider-X is equipped with the forward and stern hatches constructed of a sturdy rubber material which provides a complete waterproof seal. There is also a unique day hatch which is within arm`s reach of the paddler from the cockpit. A second bulkhead behind the access hatch makes this compartment self contained.

Standard safety features such as recessed deck fittings, carry toggle handles, podded seat, double fibreglass seam joining, perimeter lines and a fully anodised foiled rudder for minimum drag make the Raider-X excellent value for money.

Construction

Raider kayaks are built from the lightest and strongest fibreglass, kevlar or carbon laminates available on the market. A high quality gel coat covers the exterior of the kayak to protect the laminate from abrasion and ultraviolet rays. The high proportion of cloth to resin ratio of approximately 70% fibre to 30% resin yields a stronger kayak due to the fibre content. The high quality smooth interior finish on the kayak hull and deck eliminates the nasty fibreglass itch and possible abrasion on personal gear inside the boat. Note: additional costs apply to alternative material options (please inquire).
