A collaborative effort between Danish designer Jesper Kromann-Andersen and Current Designs award-winning team, the new Prana 17' kayak is designed for quick and efficient touring without sacrificing maneuverability and playfulness. The hull is more stable than its svelte 21 inch beam would lead you to expect, making it a surprisingly beginner-friendly kayak that leaves so much room for growth you'll never grow out of it. A hybrid hard chine and tracking-friendly rocker profile makes this 17 foot touring kayak perfect for all conditions. The low aft deck making self recovery safe and effective, while the roomier foredeck gives more height for your knees, making extended days of paddling much more comfortable. Available in fiberglass and Kevlar layups, the Prana comes standard with both fore and aft day hatches, fore and aft large hatches and a full accompaniment of safety and comfort. Also available in a LV (low-volume) version.
