Key Features
Modular Rigid Drop Stitch Floor Provides Double Protection
The high-pressure drop-stitch floor provides great rigidity and super responsive paddling performance. The reinforced outside fabric floor provides a double layer of added protection so it can bounce off rocks, logs, and other objects. The modular design allows the DS floor to be easily removed for quick and thorough cleaning.
Large Removable Rear Center Skeg
A nice feature of this design is that the skeg can be removed with the Explorer inflated or deflated. Simply remove it for whitewater and skinny water adventures (eliminating it as an obstruction)and replace it for flat water to reduce yawing (swinging to the right or left). This increases track-ability during long flat-water touring, maximizing efficiency.
16 Rapid Self – Bailing Easy To Open & Shut Drain Valves
When the 16 rapid self-bailing drain valves are open, you are sure to drain off water as quickly as it enters! With the drain valves closed you are certain to remain high and dry when paddling on flat waters such as lakes, bays and other bodies of water.

We can’t wait to get in the water with our new kayak! We did upgrade and purchase the electric pump and studier seats so set up was pretty easy! Since we live in PA it is still too cold to get in the water. We will be sure to post pictures when we head out on our first adventure.
