Material and construction
Note: all NK skis are made with autoclave and prepreg technique, a process often used for space industry and F1 cars, the high pressure (up to 4 x atmosphere pressure) and heat from the autoclave together with the pre impregnated fibres guarantees a very hard bond between the layers of composite creating a extra ordinary light yet strong construction not comparable with other techniques normally used for kayaks such as vacuum infusion or other hand lay up processes.
CarbonX Stealth Black

100% UD prepreg carbon construction. Light brushed matte black paint finish with clear carbon twill cockpit.
CarbonX Whale Grey

Same construction as the Stealth black but now in a light matte grey paint (also the cockpit) for those preferring lighter colours in sunny countries.
CarbonLite Ice White

100% UD prepreg carbon construction with a high quality foam core. Shinny white polyurthane paint finish.
Rudder options
Surf, Weed, Race and Marathon. Or an optional Smart track ski kick up rudder.
