Paddle away from the stresses of the modern world.

In a 17ft kayak it's easier than ever before. On flat water or out at sea the Easky 17 LV will excel with lighter paddlers in the cockpit and allow you to manoeuvre around easily in all water conditions. You can go wherever you want to go with nothing to stop you. Set your own limits.

Take yourself off for an easy paddle from jetty to jetty around a calm lake with clear blue skies surrounding you. Allow the 17 LVs stability to provide you with the freedom to stop and float around the water and let you take it all in when nature shows an interest in what you're doing!
Being out there with only the bird song, gentle splashing or inquisitive seals that pop their heads up to say hello whilst out on the ocean is one of the greatest feelings you will ever have.
