MK4 DOLPHIN – For future champions!

As a world innovation among kayaks, HODY MK4 mini kayak is an essential tool for learning how to paddle in team and for kids to get to know and love kayaking.

The case of training young athletes is very close to our heart, particularly when it comes to the Hungarian kayak-canoe champions-to-be.

This commitment led to the idea of a completely new type of boat, the MK-4 mini kayak, which had won over the whole kayak community

The MK-4 mini kayak is a unique boat which was developed and produced by HODY only.

The revolutionary new idea created a new category as well.

We recognized that the standard K-4 adult kayak could not be used for training and developing the youth, hence we tailor-made our 4-person boat to the children. The result is such a boat that helps the young kayak athletes to bring out the best in them.

Children warmed to the boats immediately, since paddling in a mini kayak with 4 is a great life experience. As a coach of young kids, you will find the use of this kayak priceless when you teach team paddling, different techniques and team building.

The mini boats are certified by the boat certification committee of the Hungarian Canoe Federation and meet all racing standards.

On top of the MK4 we also sell MK1 and MK2 mini kayaks.
Here, you will find the boat that matches your style and paddling technique the best!

It is sold in Plus, Extra and Premium design, just pick your own!

Materials and technology used:
Bottom of the boat: carbon kevlar / carbon sandwich structure, deck’s fiberglass sandwich structure: vinyl ester resin / manual lamination / vacuum technology.

Recommendation
The PLUS design is mainly recommended for junior athletes. But it is also a great choice, if you need a high quality mini or touring boat for the best price.

Materials and technology used:
Carbon sandwich structure / vinyl ester resin / vacuum injection. In case of the EXTRA design, you can go for the see-through gel layer for a carbon style boat.

Recommendation
The EXTRA HODY model is popular among those racers and private people who are looking for a professional racing boat.

Materials and technology used:
Carbon / honeycomb / vinyl ester resin / vacuum technology.

Recommendation
Are you ready to win? The PREMIUM design is the best possible choice for racers, due to its layers of carbon and honeycomb that guarantee extraordinary rigidity.

The young team should paddle in a HODY mini kayak!
