The Prijon Kodiak is designed to balance the counter-purposes of speed, carrying capacity, stability, and comfort. Kayakers who want to go far fast with the least amount of paddling effort prefer boats that are long and slender (oh yeah, and watertight). The 17' Kodiak, with a trihedral hull & convex waterlines similar to racing kayaks, fits the bill with some interesting improvements. The fish-form puts the wide point at the knees instead of the hips for excellent stability in rolling seas and most wind conditions. The Kodiak's unusual double-chine arrangement allows good speed and remarkable controllability for an expedition kayak. Enjoy a generous 9550 cubic inches of stowage space. Other features include an adjustable seat, thigh brace and back brace with cover for comfortable, extended expeditions. Hatches, bow & stern combine neoprene, hard plastic and quick-release webbing straps for dry, easy use. Deck pack nets organize those small essential items, and the well placed deck lines aid in the event of a self-rescue. The ergonomic carrying handles make loading and unloading a snap.

Bottom Line: Whether you're a large or small paddler, you will appreciate the Kodiak's glide, speed, and stable cruising abilities.
