Spare paddle mountings are set up for Greenland paddles only. The seating area with hip plates and back strap was designed to offer comfort and support, and can be easily custom padded. It is important the back strap be low enough to allow the paddler to lean back on the deck. The paddler just needs to become accustomed to entering a kayak with a pivoting back strap. I thank the reviewers for their compliments on the fine craftsmanship.
Many options are available, including a retractable skeg.
Two designs are licensed through Wilderness Systems for manufacture in fiberglass or Kevlar. Each design is of Greenland origin yet serves a distinct group of paddlers. Cold-molded 4mm okoume mahogany plywood sealed with West System Epoxy and encapsulated in multiple layers of fiberglass cloth. From the manufacturer by custom order.
