The UK's leading manufacturer of performance kayaks
The benchmark by which other ultra-fast sea kayaks are measured. This classic kayak is the number one option for the experienced paddler. Probably the very first (FSK) fast sea kayak on the market, the Inuk has an unrivalled pedigree.
Performance is everything. The tuned streamline hull makes paddling effortlessly efficient and purists will enjoy the stripped-down-to-the-basics ethic. Thanks to the molded integral skeg, Inuk straight-tracks incredibly well, and there’s no need for a rudder or retractable skeg. The Inuk offers two hatches and there’s plenty of storage space for modest excursions. There’s also the option of an additional forward day hatch, which doubles as a knee tube providing extra bracing support.
If you like the simplicity of the original design, swap the rudder for a foam bulkhead. You can choose the position of the forward bulkhead to suit your leg length. We recommend you keep the bulkhead a couple of inches longer than you need and pack it out with foam for extra comfort and future adjustability.
Enjoy the raw experience of paddling, the connoisseurs way.

Give us a call or send an email if you have any questions. After all, that's what we're here for! We won't sell you anything you don't need. We just want you to be in the right boat.
We'll need a minimum 10% deposit to secure your build slot. Do this as soon as possible to prevent delays to your order. The deposit may be paid by bank transfer or card.
We can only start your build once we have your final specification, so don’t delay too long. The choices can be overwhelming so please ask if you are unsure about anything.
We will give you a call or send an email when your boat is ready for collection. Full payment should be made before the boat leaves the factory, but you can look the boat over first.
Shipping kayaks is pricey so you'll probably want to collect the boat from our Devon factory. We can often deliver to the canoeing events we attending too.
