The Wig Rapid 544 Offshore is a dynamic and fast sea kayak that combines a stable surfski hull with a well-equipped sea kayak deck. It is a larger version of the popular Rapid 522 Offshore model, designed for long-distance open water expeditions.
Key Features:
Advanced design : Rapid 544 is built on the basis of an extended surfski hull, which gives it excellent stability and speed. Additionally, the sea kayak deck with an extended cockpit, which is relatively low on the sides, makes it an ideal choice for taller kayakers who prefer an active paddling position.
Adjustment to individual needs : The kayak offers the possibility of adjusting the pedal rail in three different heights, which allows for a perfect adjustment of the footrest to your own preferences. Center-mounted pedals and easily accessible screws for precise adjustment of the pedal angle provide full comfort and control.
Versatile : The Rapid 544 can be equipped with either a rudder or a skeg, making it suitable for a variety of paddling styles. For those under 85kg who usually paddle lightly, we recommend using both.
Light and durable construction : The kayak is made using infusion technology, which ensures even laminate quality and strength while reducing weight. The fiberglass version weighs only 22 kg, while the Diolen/Kevlar option reduces the weight to an impressive 19 kg.
