This kayak is aimed at a broad audience of paddlers looking for a performance-oriented yet user-friendly boat. Designed by Derek Hutchinson, the Sirocco boasts the same tight turns and fast paddling characteristics of the composite version in a more affordable rotationally molded construction.\u00a0<span class=\"yiv2019363984Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Made from high-quality HDPE polyethylene, Sirroco is the innovation\u00a0<span class=\"yiv2019363984Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>one of the best examples. The skeg, stern hinge and day hatch are standard equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv2019363984p3\"><span class=\"yiv2019363984s2\">513cm long. 58cm wide. 27 kg<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv2019363984p3\"><span class=\"yiv2019363984s2\">For me, an experienced but moderately skilled paddler, this is a great boat. It&#039;s wide enough for my large frame, has plenty of room for multiple days, and is easy to paddle once I get used to it. It feels wobbly when I sit in it, but once it&#039;s tilted 5-10 degrees or I start paddling, it settles in and feels rock solid. And it handles really well in 1-2 foot waves and boat wakes, and is very forgiving of heavy paddlers. It feels almost effortless to paddle to me, and goes as fast as I need it to. There are a few minor design features that I really hate\u2026 the cockpit is too short for easy entry and exit (at least with my long legs), the thigh hook design is stupid (why don\u2019t they just cast them in instead of bolting them together as separate pieces?), the hatch and hatch cover design are weak, and the bilge is not deep enough. The latter is a basic, intentional design feature (according to the manufacturer), but I would like more crosswind support in a boat (more ballast in the aft compartment helps with that). All that aside, I\u2019ll probably never get rid of this boat. It\u2019s just too much fun to paddle.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the strongest Polyethylene sea kayaks in the USA.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5834,"template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[265,355,356],"product_tag":[431,435,540,421,428,478,430],"class_list":{"0":"post-5833","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-elado-kajak","7":"product_cat-tengeri-kajak","8":"product_cat-tura-kajak","9":"product_tag-elado","10":"product_tag-hiluxe","11":"product_tag-hosszutavu-turakajak-skeggel","12":"product_tag-kajak","13":"product_tag-tengeri-kajak","14":"product_tag-tengerikajak","15":"product_tag-tura-kajak","17":"first","18":"instock","19":"sale","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-simple"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5833"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5833"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kajakshop.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
