K-1 ORCA – racing kayak

Born to win!

This kayak is the reinterpretation of the world-famous Orca racing boat, sold in different sizes, which led Knut Holmann to victory at the Olympic Games in Sidney.

the square deck design gives an unbelievable solidity to the hull (it comes very handy both at paddling and when transporting the boat)
the straight bottom design and sharp bow is ideal in waves, the
„breaks” in front of the cockpit guarantee efficient movement in water.
It is an optimal choice for 500-1000 meters and marathons.

The impressive design provides a unique visual experience.

K1 ORCA is worthy of its predecessor due to its exceptional quality, unique design and the fact that the construction of the boat meets all the racing standards.

The youngest member of the K1 Orca family is perfect for lightweight racers and was deliberately designed as an ideal racing boat for juniors.

To remain fast and solid, we kept some features that are typical of adult kayaks, like the square deck or the straight bottom, but the size and the design were created for the juniors.

Here, you will find the boat that matches your style and paddling technique the best!

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