The Karla is the third collaboration between Danish designer Jesper Kromann-Andersen and Current Designs. The boat is all about maximizing playfulness and control; bringing even more nimbleness and wave riding capability to the paddler. Compared to the Sisu, the Karla is slightly shorter and narrower with additional volume in the bow as added measure against pearling. The Karla is a user friendly kayak to begin your exploration of the surf zone and facilitate your adventures. Larger paddlers will love the spacious cockpit, making entry and exit in challenging conditions safe and efficient. Expert paddlers will equally appreciate this dynamic design. Available in fiberglass and Kevlar composite constructions with exceptional outfitting throughout. Also available in a LV (low volume) configuration with a reduced depth of 3/4".
