The name of this kayak is in homage of the splendid island of Sardinia: extreme, pure, wild and full of charm.
Island of Sardinia is a very amusing, joyful, very responsive, handy and safe kayak in every condition.
It is ideal for dynamic outings and at ease both with flat and rough waters. Its man characteristic is the reactivity of its extremely manageable movements, that are never nervous.
Thanks to its hull design, it is very swift when it changes its direction, it accelerates very promptly and it has a good cruising velocity.
It has been conceived to offer the most demanding kayakers a fast and technical boat at the same time. The bountiful volume of the front deck allows a good load capacity and a “dry” sailing; the flat and low back deck offers just a minimum resistance to the wind. The particular hull design, in the bow and stern areas, makes it very directional and absolutely safe even in presence of a very rough sea.
Available in a very complete fitting, it offers superb performances to the expert kayaker in every situation. Island of Sardinia in available in two models with two or three hatches.

Island of Sardinia MV

This version of Island of Sardinia was born to guarantee a superior stability and more comfort. To reach this aim the hull has been widened up to 55 cm. in the central part and consequently the size of the cockpit has been increased. The result is a better stability and habitability, though keeping unchanged the great performing qualities of agility and sea-holding. All this has made the Island of Sardinia become a best seller in the category of fast and technically advanced kayaks
