Description
The Islay touring kayak from Venture Kayaks is designed and built by the same people who build PH sea kayaks and Pyranha whitewater boats. They incorporate a lot of the same high-end features that their sea kayaks do, like the hatches and skeg, but more importantly, they also use the same construction process that they use in Pyranha whitewater kayaks.
The result is a boat that has got a lot of great features and is extremely good value.
The Venture Islay is a versatile, light touring kayak that's stable enough for beginners but it's not a kayak that you're going to outgrow as your skills develop.
The Islay has got enough speed to keep up with longer kayaks and enough capacity for overnight or even week-long trips.
It has the same features that you'll find on the PH sea kayak range.
- Twist-lock foot braces and adjustable thigh brace to improve the contact you have with the boat; this leads to more responsive and predictable performance.
- A wide, comfortable seat that's very supportive and a broad free-floating backrest that helps you sit up straight and paddle effectively. (depending on what outfitting option you have selected above)
- Behind the seat is a bulkhead which is bonded in the boat to keep extra water away from the hatch compartment if you decide to swim.
- The front of the Islay has got a full deck line and a 10-inch kayak sport hatch. There is an easy-to-use paddle park on the side.
- The cockpit of the Islay has a moulded recess to guide the water away and enough room to make it stress-free when putting on the Size 5/Big spray deck.
The Islay is a relatively quick kayak with a flat hull which gives it great stability. The widest point of the hull on the Islay is just behind the paddler's hips; this helps to make the kayak faster, more stable and manoeuvrable.
Key Features
- Speedier than a recreational kayak with greater storage
- Same stability and manageability as a recreational kayak, but with greater hull efficiency.
- Perfect for both day trips and weekend adventures.
- Easier manoeuvrability than a longer touring or sea kayak.
- Lighter for portaging and car topping.
