Eskimå – a favourite among our sea kayaks

Havspaddeln Eskimå has become a big favourite in Sweden, mainly thanks to its versatility. It is an easy-to-manoeuvre sea kayak appreciated by beginners and more experienced paddlers alike. Its nimble hull shape lets you pick up speed easily, while you sit comfortably in a roomy cockpit.

Easy to adjust and steer
In the cockpit you will find foot pedals for steering the rudder. They can quickly be adjusted to your leg length, even while you are sitting in the kayak. A mesh pocket on deck makes it easy to store a map, fruit or anything else you want to reach during the trip.

Long waterline and good stability
At over 5 metres long, Eskimå counts as a sea kayak, which means it handles wavier and windier conditions with flying colours. The long waterline gives better directional stability and helps the kayak cut through the water efficiently.

Tough 3-layer plastic construction
Eskimå is made of 3-layer polyethylene plastic, making it both torsionally rigid and impact-resistant. So you don't need to worry about cracks when you pull the kayak up onto a rock. The material also requires minimal maintenance, so you can spend more time on the water and less on repairs.

Simple rudder and steering system
The rudder sits at the very back and is controlled with the foot pedals. You can raise and lower the rudder using a handy cord within easy reach. This makes it easy to change direction or counter gusts of wind, especially in more challenging waters.

Storage options
The kayak has two large hatches plus a smaller hatch behind the cockpit. There is room for a sleeping bag, food, spare clothes and everything else you might need for a weekend trip. Smaller items are best kept in the mesh pocket or the smaller hatch with screw lid, so you can reach them quickly while paddling.

Comfort and ergonomics
The seat is padded and has a backrest adjustable in height, depth and sideways. There are also thigh braces inside the cockpit, so you sit comfortably and have good control even on longer stretches.

Practical carrying handles
There are carrying handles at both bow and stern, making it easier to move the kayak. If you need to transport it on your own, a kayak trolley is a practical addition for rolling the kayak over land.
