Kirton Typhoon (wobble factor 3-4) by Kirton
- Description
The modern sleek lines of the Typhoon make a boat that it as fast as any top-spec K1's from the 1980's, but with a welcome stability boost when compared to today’s top racers. The result is the freedom to paddle with confidence and power.
With cross sections designed to minimize wobble without adversely affecting speed, the Typhoon is a great choice for paddlers looking to progress into the top ranks. Experienced paddlers at the other end of their career, will find the Typhoon a comfortable platform which performs excellently. Endurance athletes will also welcome the improved stability, as fatigue sets in and water conditions worsen.
A low 2-pin seat is the standard option for maximum stability, but a high 2-pin seat is available at no extra charge for a greater challenge and superior seating position.
The rounded centre section and v’eed forward sections makes for a sea kindly craft that performs well in a wide range of conditions.
The Typhoon is also available in a higher volume, purpose built with the larger paddler in mind (up to 100kg). It has increased rocker to allow good rudder response despite the increased size. The redesigned high deck provides ample foot space for the tall paddlers, as well as the flexibility to increase the length of the factory fitted footrest.
+ Two seat heights available for a staggered paddler progression
+ Extra stability so you can put the power down with confidence.
