Axis X3 kayak

About the Axis X3

The A3 is a kayak version of the hybrid hull – a sea kayak with a dash of surfski-style maneuverability and wave-handling capacity. Designed for paddlers in the 55-80 kg weight range it will be a very capable touring kayak for light paddlers or a play and surf kayak for those in the upper part of the range. But since sea kayaks have a forgiving weight margin (it takes 16,7 kg to push the waterline 1 cm!), the X3 will do fine with a 40 kg paddler (though a little wind sensitive) as well as a 95 kg paddler (though a little wet at times).

The X3 is of course fitted with our signature Axis bucket seat and the nicely incorporated deck hatches.
