Description
Empower
The Empower Carbon is a serious expedition sea kayak for multi-week getaways, it is surprisingly agile and, despite its length, has a very nice glide. Carbon lay-up makes kayak lightweight and adds extra toughness and stiffness. Empower acts almost like a play boat when put on edge. The Empower kayak has soft chines and a long waterline. The hull profile is rounded and rocker is moderate to handle big seas.
The four hatches are all beautifully recessed into the deck and allow packing with ease for extended trips or just for a weekend getaway. The knee hatch can hold gear like VHF radio or a cell phone and a small water bottle. The day hatch has lots of room for other equipment necessary while at sea.
The Empower Carbon is equipped with a SmartTrack rudder and a retractable skeg.

ZEGUL FULL CARBON
This production method combines vacuum infusion technology with the high performance properties of a special marine grade epoxy resin, several types of carbon fiber, carbon/aramide and glass multiaxial fabrics to create the highest quality carbon core built kayaks in the industry. Years of experience are needed to perfect a clear carbon hull using three dimensional carbon fabric which results in the stiffest, most durable kayak.
