I’m excited about every new model I design, but the release of the Malachite is a special one. It is the first model in my new lineup of adult-size single-seater sit-on-tops, and I pulled out all the stops with this design.
The Malachite is the ultimate adventure kayak for those who want maximum stability and carrying capacity. It combines speed, stability and comfort with many performance features and loads of packing space. It tracks straight with ease, but turns as easily when put on edge. It features large oval hatches for easy access front and back, a day hatch in front of the seat and additional storage space on top of the deck. The ergonomically designed cockpit and the paddle cut-aways make long days on the water a breeze. It is as versatile as it comes, with rudder and angler options available too. It can be fitted with a backrest too, but most paddlers won’t even need it!
