Viking is a kayak with an excellent possibility of loading, very stable, comfortable and safe, particularly suitable to spend many hours on the water and at the same time it is a performing boat with a great directionality and a good cruising speed.
Viking offers also an unusual handling facility for this level boats and a remarkable agility assuring a good perception on the water.

Viking Hv (high volume) appears with an aggressive and attractive design, definitely unusual for boats of this important volume. The immersed part is characterized by a wide V shaped hull which allows and guarantees the boat a good route and a great facility of penetration in the waves; this is made also possible by the fairly voluminous sides.
Viking is a kayak with an excellent possibility of loading and safety even in presence of especially rough sea. This boat gives, anyway, its best when fully loaded or paddled by a heavy kayaker.

Viking LV

The Lv version (low volume) of the Viking, even maintaining its elder brother`s design, has an inferior loading capacity offering the advantage of a less resistance to the wind. So it represents a valid compromise between performances and stability especially with very rough sea and very bad weather conditions.
These characteristics make this kayak ideal for advanced middle weight kayakers who want to face excursions in total security.
