Description
Empower
The Empower is a serious expedition sea kayak for multi-week getaways, it is surprisingly agile and, despite its length, has a very nice glide. 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 is available in A-core lay-up and is equipped with a SmartTrack rudder and a retractable skeg.
