Pure joy.

The X-Lite is a small, nimble and highly manoeuvrable touring kayak designed lighter and smaller paddlers weighing 50-75 kg (110-185 lbs), as well as for larger paddlers who are looking for a fun kayak simply to play with in surf and rough waters.

Like it´s sister models in the X-series, the X-Lite´s characteristics are defined by the shallow V, hard chine and low deck profile which offer unusually high stability, reduced windage and a sporty appeal. The X-Lite is available both in traditional hand laid fibreglass and in lighter Kevlar/carbon versions.

The low deck design features a clean arrangement and 3 hatches that are mounted flush with the line of the deck to enhance the sleek look of the craft. The distinctive cut-away design in front of the cockpit is not only a design characteristic for all Point 65°N kayaks, but also allows for strong paddling strokes without the risk of contact between paddle and deck.

The cockpit is of a keyhole design that offers the snug fit of an ocean cockpit as well as the comfort and ease of getting in and out of a recreational cockpit. It is fitted with the an ergonomically designed seat including a supporting backrest. The recessed fitting behind the cockpit is designed for towing and locking capabilities. The X-Lite is equipped either with skeg or with both skeg and the retractable rudder. The Smart Track rudder control system allows for comfortable support as well as strong steering efficiency.

The X-Lite displays its heritage in its graceful lines and aggressive appearance as well as its handling capability and speed, which translates each stroke into pure joy. The Point 65 X-Lite is designed by Swedish kayak designer Johan Wirsén.
