This gives the kayak predictable handling and a balanced feel, irrespective of the conditions being paddled. Also having the widest point at the paddler’s hips, you’ll also notice a real sense of connection between what you do and how the kayak reacts, making it an efficient but also rewarding kayak to paddle. Other design features include a hull with a shallow to moderately ‘V’d’ keel for good initial stability, a long waterline length to promote forward speed and just enough rocker to give a good balance between tracking and maneuverability, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"u-border-2 u-border-grey-75 u-border-no-left u-border-no-right u-border-no-top u-container-align-center u-container-style u-list-item u-repeater-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"u-container-layout u-similar-container u-valign-middle u-container-layout-4\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"u-align-center u-text u-text-8\"\u003eThe Valley Etain is designed to appeal to paddlers looking for an enjoyable to paddle, expedition-capable kayak that has a good turn of speed and tracks well.
