LAST USED Model Available. Yellow/White A performance touring boat ideal for the intermediate paddler seeking performance, comfort and elegance with plenty of gear space. It’s also an excellent choice for beginners who are working towards a higher skill level and want something to grow into as they progress. For long and short expeditions, loaded or not, the Alvik is always an outstanding choice. Features: Primary stability is a reflection of how stable the kayak feels while sitting still on a calm body of water. A high primary stability is perfect for beginners, photographers and fisherman alike. Secondary stability is the stability felt while edging the boat (leaning the kayak on one side using your hips). A kayak with a poor secondary will require a stronger bracing technique to edge with confidence. Handling vs Tracking:There is no right or wrong answer here. A kayak that tracks more (more grey) will be easy to keep on a straight course. A loose kayak (more blue) will be easy to turn on a dime and change direction quickly. Speed: This is the general speed of the kayak, combining acceleration, cruising speed, top speed and how easy it is to keep. Storage:This represents the total inside storage volume the kayak offers. Rudder equipped kayaks tend to have more storage compared to skegs that take up some space in the rear hatch. A high rating for storage is perfect for a touring paddler.
