500 EX is our largest, highest volume touring kayak. The long
hull efficiently covers long distances, tracks well, and has plenty
of room for gear. The 500 is best suited for paddlers over 70kg(150
lbs) or those seeking a roomier cockpit. The 500 outperforms composite
kayaks weighing 10kg(20lbs) more! Stable enough for a beginner,
yet high performance so you won't outgrow it as your paddling
skills improve. |
