In a few short years, the Kodiak has proven itself to be the ultimate Expedition Kayak. Not resting, in the winter 05/06 we updated the Kodiak to make it an even better boat. We have added our functional Deck Box for on water gear access. Its knee area was expanded slightly to accommodate a wider range of paddler frames. Deck Fittings were updated to bring the highest level of function and convenience. These include a new spare paddle hold down, and our combination deck- net paddle float self rescue holder. Its capabilities for expeditions make it practical in nearly all others. It is cavernous in terms of gear storage and ultimate capacity, it is also a fast stable boat both loaded and unloaded. At 17', the Kodiak features a trihedral hull & convex waterlines similar to racing kayaks. Its fish-form puts the wide point at the knees instead of the hips to make the boat controllable and comfortable in following seas. The Kodiak's profile is nearly unaffected in most wind conditions. The slender width in the stern chine ensures superior water release.
