Petrel Sea Kayak

Petrel – Matched Western Red Cedar – Carbon Kevlar, Fiberglass & Epoxy

Dance on the water 
with this responsive and fun sea kayak

The name “petrel” is a diminutive form of “Peter”, a reference to Saint Peter; it was given to the sea birds because they sometimes appear to walk across the water’s surface. Like its namesake bird, the Petrel kayak dances on the water.
Directly inspired by the hunting kayaks of the Greenland Inuits, this kayak is optimized for secure and responsive play in rough water. While happy to explore a secluded backwater, the design really comes to life when the water gets textured.
