Our top model is Napali. It is
not only the sole transparent foldable kayak in the world; it is also
among the very lightest, weighing only 26 lbs. The Napali masterpiece is
an unrivaled blend of function and style. Voted by Fortune magazine as the
top outdoor product of the year 2003 and by Time magazine as one of the
coolest inventions of 2003, it was also nominated for the prestigious SGMA
award ‘Sports Product of the Year 2004, the Academy Award of the
sporting goods industry.
The Napali is supported by a high-tech, durable and corrosion-resistant
internal Carbon Kevlar frame system that comes equipped with a transparent
military-grade Urethane skin, keeping the weight at a minimum. The
leading-edge innovation allows the kayak to fold up small enough to fit
into a hiking backpack, yet still offer the endless possibilities for
discovery that transparent kayaks give. This makes the Napali the ideal
kayak for long-distance touring, backcountry kayaking and vacational
travels that require easy transport.
One may think that the high functionality and light weight of the boat
were built at the expense of design. However, when you look at the Napali,
you’ll soon forget the meaning of the word “compromise”. The Napali
even offers extraordinary visual appeal with a dazzling look and graceful,
elegant presence that is unparalleled in the world of kayaking. The sleek
lines and soft curves of its streamlined body radiate pure dynamic energy,
even when the Napali is only hanging on its rack, motionless. Outstanding
quality and craftsmanship can be seen and felt in every detail of the
Napali’s construction.
What has been accomplished in the engineering of the Napali is a new,
fully versatile breed of kayak that is exceptional from any perspective.
Clarity is its core, intelligent design its gift. It is not without a
cause that the Museum of Modern Art in NYC decided to feature the Napali
as a permanent piece of exhibition starting in Fall 2004.
Come experience a new exhilarating way of kayaking – endorphines
guaranteed.
