Viggen – a versatile and stable beginner kayak
The Viggen is a shorter sea kayak that is ideal for calmer waters such as lakes or rivers, but it also copes with windier conditions if you use a spray skirt. It is stable and easy to manoeuvre, making it a perfect choice if you want to get started with paddling. The Viggen also offers good room to develop if you want to learn more technique and take longer trips over time.

Responds quickly to your strokes
Thanks to its relatively short length, you get an immediate response when you paddle, giving you great control in narrower passages such as rivers and smaller waterways. At the same time, it is robust and roomy enough to carry gear for overnight trips.

Family-friendly and hard-wearing
The footrests are easy to adjust, so the kayak can be adapted to paddlers of different heights – from about 150 to 195 cm. This means several family members can share the same kayak. The material is polyethylene plastic (HDPE), which withstands both impacts and wear. This means you can pull the Viggen up onto rocks or jetties without worrying about cracks.

Comfortable cockpit
The large cockpit gives your legs plenty of room to move and makes it easy to get in and out. Thanks to the soft seat and an adjustable backrest, you can sit comfortably even on longer trips, which in turn makes paddling more fun and relaxing.

Practical storage and handy carry handles
The Viggen has two storage compartments, one at the front and one at the back, with room for the essentials for a day trip or a short overnight trip. Small items such as a map and water bottle are easily stored in the mesh pocket in front of the cockpit. There are also carry handles at the bow and stern, so it is easy to lift the kayak together with a friend – or grip the cockpit if you carry it a short distance on your own.

Different plastic layers – what is the difference?
In the discussion about 1-layer vs. 3-layer plastic kayaks, there are some misconceptions on the market. The truth is that both can offer high quality:

1-layer plastic: More flexible, withstands impacts well and is often well suited to shorter kayaks.
3-layer plastic: Often stiffer and therefore more torsionally rigid, especially in kayaks over five metres long.
The choice therefore depends on the type of kayak and the purpose of the model rather than the number of layers itself. If you have questions about materials and durability, feel free to contact us – we have more than ten years of experience selling kayaks in different types of plastic.
