Viggen is particularly suitable in calmer water but also works in windy conditions (in which case a canopy is preferred). The versatility of the keel is a factor that has contributed to the kayak's popularity. For the beginner, the Viggen is a good choice - it is stable, easy to paddle and at the same time offers great opportunities for those who want to develop.

The relatively short length of the kayak means that you get a good response from the paddlers, which is important above all when you paddle in streams, rivers and smaller watercourses.

A durable kayak for the whole family
The adjustable footrests, which are used to operate the rudder at the back of the kayak, allow the kayak to be adapted to paddlers between 150-190 cm. This means that many in the family can use the kayak.

The kayak is made of HDPE polyethylene plastic, which is a very durable and hard-wearing material. This allows you to pull the kayak up onto the cliff edge or jetty without worrying about cracks and damage.



Large comfortable cockpit
That the kayak is comfortable is important, it should be easy and comfortable to get out on the water! Viggen has a large and comfortable cockpit. The legs can move relatively freely, which enables relaxed paddling, and the soft seat makes you sit comfortably even during the longer paddling trip. The backrest can be easily adjusted so that it sits comfortably.

Packing spaces
The kayak has two storage compartments, one in the front and one in the back, where you can fit necessities and other packing for the paddling trip. Smaller items are stored easily in the mesh pocket located in front of the cockpit. Between the packing hatches and the cockpit there are waterproof bulkheads that make the Viggen float even if the cockpit were to fill with water.



Easy to carry
At the stern and bow there are handles that are used when the kayak has to be carried. If you want to carry the kayak yourself, it is convenient to carry it with a grip on the cockpit.

3-layer or 1-layer plastic?
Unfortunately, there are players on the Swedish kayak market who mislead consumers regarding the quality of plastic kayaks. Whether the kayak is made in 1 layer or in 3 does not have to affect the kayak's quality, performance or durability. The kayak's plastic can be the same thickness regardless of the number of layers and different constructions are suitable for different models and hull shapes.

1 - Bearing plastic is more compliant/flexible and is therefore more susceptible to shocks and bangs. Fits well on short plastic kayaks.
3-layer plastic is stiffer, less flexible, but is often a better choice on a kayak that is longer than 5 m where you need increased torsional stiffness.

The kayak's price is never determined based on the number of layers of plastic, but rather based on the quality of the plastic and the kayak's details. If you have questions about the type of plastic, please ask us. We have 10 years in the industry and over the years have sold many kayaks of both plastic types.
