Point65°N Unisex_Adult Falcon Solo Modular Rigid Kayak (Separable), Red, (1 Place)

Product Information

The pedal-drive system on this solo modular kayak allows you to keep your hands free to operate a fishing pole, take pictures, or do anything else you desire. This is a great benefit for recreational kayakers in crowded areas or when you want your paddle strokes to have maximum effect on the direction of your kayak. The sections are form fitted to snap together, and it’s just as easy to unsnap them after use. Additionally this aids in transportation, because instead of carrying around a full length kayak, you and your friends/family can carry sections of the boat to the water. My friend imported a WWR K1 from Czech, she paid 500 euros, but the manufacturer did basically send a man with a van with only that kayak on it so that is probably a fair price for his round trip! Normally the manufacturers or their reps or team paddlers attend international races and deliver boats that way, but she needed to outfit and train in the boat before the next big race. Your choice here genuinely depends on your needs and wants – and how much space you have to store and transport your ‘yak, whether assembled or disassembled.

Recreational modular kayaks are, as the name suggests – meant for calm waters like lakes or slow-moving streams and more fun and relaxation. Beginner paddlers usually start with a recreational kayak, as they are cheaper and easier to maneuver than their touring counterparts. It seems like a 12-14 foot boat would be an appropriate step up from the 10.5 sit on top. However I dont really want anything heavier than the Venus 11 - 20kg. And as with other Point 65 kayaks I’ve reviewed so far, you have the option to add a mid-section to your Mercury GTX and turn it into a tandem. In our catalogue of detachable kayaks you can find several different models to suit every type of person or trip. Because we know very well that sailing on the sea is not the same as sailing on a river or any other kind of landscape. And it is also not the same to do it alone or accompanied. Even if you’re just planning on keeping the kayak in the closet, garage, or under the bed, knowing the length and width allows you to store it properly. Exposed kayaks can build mold in humid weather, so getting a cover that will fit and protect your kayak is a good idea.

It’s important that you weigh yourself, any passengers, and any gear you may be taking out with you. Once you have this total figure, compare it to the maximum weight capacities of the kayaks you’re considering, and ensure that you’re around 25% under the limit. Number of Sections One good thing about a modular kayak is that you’re not as limited as you might be with a traditional yak. This means that you wouldn’t need to buy a separate tandem yak for when you’re paddling with a partner; your one yak can easily be transformed to suit you. What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using A Modular Kayak? Advantages On the other hand, kayaks made of the pricier thermoformed ABS are more durable as they’re made of a combination of acrylic and plastic. This material can deal with sun exposure for long hours without getting damaged in any way. Why Would I Need to Use Modular Kayaks?

The Kingfisher breaks down into two pieces and each piece weighs no more than 37 pounds. In fact, this kayak’s total weight comes in at 70 pounds and it offers a maximum weight capacity of 287 pounds. The Tequila! GTX is designed for all levels of paddlers for most bodies of water but because of the limited storage, it may not be the best vessel for multi-day touring trips.

Is the Mercury an ideal boat for you?

If you don’t have enough room to store a hardshell kayak, a modular kayak is your best option. You can easily break it down into pieces and keep it in whatever storage room you have available, as it does not demand much space.

You can put the kayak together in under 10 seconds with the use of the Snap-Tap solution connectors. Also, buying an extra section to convert your solo kayak into a tandem is much cheaper than buying a tandem one. This makes it excellent for those who enjoy some quality time kayaking on their own but would also love to have company sometimes.
