In a past few years, paddlers from several countries have challenged us to use the well-known skills of our design team and the unbeatable quality of our products to design a touring kayak. The streamlined and efficient Metax 520 is the result of our 12 years experience in building racing boats. The cockpit provides easy access and a comfortable seat for long trips.

It is stable, yet very responsive, quick turning and easy to surf windward waves. The boat offers a functional deck lay out, a low stern deck for easy back deck rolls, 2 water proof hatches, rudder, recessed fittings and SS fasteners. Suitable for both beginner and advanced paddlers.COMFORT is high performance construction for most demanding paddlers.
