KARAN 520

Sandglass Assembly time 30 min

Karan 520 is a fast expedition seakayak with straight bow and stern.

We kept the successful Narak underwater lines and increased freeboard to have enough room inside for gear. It gives a very seaworthy, stable and fast kayak. With stabilairs the boat can be loaded with 165 kg of paddler + gear, while enabling paddling days of 50 km +.

Once folded in its two bags, you can travel with it in planes, off-road vehicles and such to reach remote put-ins.

Wood frame cope with long periods of salt water marine environment and can be repaired everywhere – that’s not the case of aluminum frames.

This 17 footer can also be paddled for short outings and offers room for big paddlers, with speed and comfort on lakes, big rivers or sea.
