Tandem Kayaks

Kon Tiki - Ra I & Ra II

Kon Tiki - Ra II comes standard with a drop skeg. A fully operational directional rudder system is an available option.

Kon Tiki - Ra I Though smaller in stature than many tandem kayaks and larger than some, this is a real touring kayak for fresh or salt water application. Share with another the experience of paddling. Performance found in kayaks costing hundreds more at a weight to rival most single kayaks. For entry-level paddlers and outfitters, the simplicity of the Ra I is advantageous. Optional equipment can be added at any time at your discretion as your skills improve and demands change.

Kon Tiki - Ra II Born of the same mold as the Ra I, the Ra II offers a higher degree of outfitting to enhance the level of comfort, safety and potential. Backcountry or saltwater treks of days in duration will prove invigorating from the cockpits of a Ra II. Outfitting includes, hatches with bulkheads both fore and aft, and retractable skeg. Optimize the outfitting by including a foot control rudder for precise control in marginal conditions and peak efficiency.

Why paddle in tandem? Sharing the experience of a water environment together in one kayak can be a marvelous experience. A true sense of teamwork comes from paddling in harmony with another paddler. When there are two 'motors', in what is typically a longer kayak, paddling is effortless. Paddlers can easily converse, perhaps comment on the brilliance of a maple tree reflection on the water's surface. Security is greatly enhanced, with the 'footprint' of a larger craft and there is little chance of being separated from one another.

Kon Tiki -Thor

Kon Tiki - Thor With lineage drawn from the Kon Tiki, the Thor provides the answer to the age old question, how to satisfy the needs of tandem and solo paddling? Thor offers real tandem paddling in a kayak only slightly larger than typical single kayaks. So with this hull, an exceptionally large cockpit, and moveable seats, it readily converts from tandem to solo paddling. A stern hatch and more, complete the outfitting of this truly versatile kayak.

Seat unbolts in seconds from the front position and moves to the center of the craft, to be used as a solo kayak.
