Axis X4 kayak

About the Axis X4

The A4 is the 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 65-90 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 17,6 kg to push the waterline 1 cm!), the X4 will do fine with a 40 kg paddler (though a little wind sensitive) as well as a 100 kg paddler (though a little wet at times).

The X4 is of course fitted with our signature Axis bucket seat and the nicely incorporated deck hatches.
