Unleash the performance!
The sleek, stylish lines only hint at the speed and performance screaming to be unleashed! A complex hull shape and rocker profile are game changing and propel the Hydra into an arena of its own. Wave Sport whitewater DNA courses through the Hydra gelling with modern touring design - This is Touring: Wave Sport style!
LIKE A SEA MONSTER FROM THE DEEP...
The Hydra possesses plenty of attitude and can certainly hold its own in the big stuff. Riding high over waves and offering plenty of stability - the Hydra will let you rule the waves. But don't be scared...the many heads of the Hydra make it a multifaceted platform to tour or play from. The Hydras caring nature yearns to look after the occasional traveller who is finding their feet in the world of kayak touring.
Impressive Hull
By maximising the waterline, the Hydra hull provides impressive acceleration, top speed and glide. Keeping the width through its mid-section increases the length and straightness of chines and arms the Hydra with responsive control and handling.
Sizing Options
The Hydra 145 and Hydra 145 LV are a pair of sporty tourers with modern hull designs leading the way in the under 15 arena. At only a slightly reduced length, the Hydra 145 LV punches the same impressive combination of acceleration, top speed, tracking and handing that the Hydra 145 displays. However, the notable difference in the Low Volume version is the closer fitting cockpit area with a reduced height around the knees - this gives better contact and control for the small to medium sized paddler.
