You have chosen a kayak designed in Europe by one of the major Sit-on-Top specialists.
The YAKKAir HP / Nomad HP is a very innovative kayak, and was designed and made by
making optimum use of the materials and all the different parts of the kayak, in order to obtain
the best ratio glide / weight / solidity:
THE HULL: The hull is made up of a very solid yet flexible PVC skin that lies over a high-pressure
inflatable PVC keel. The pressure of the water provides shape to the keel. The particular shape
of the bow gives the boat an effortless glide through the chop. These features provide particular
performance and tracking ability heretofore unknown to inflatable boats.
THE FLOOR: The high-pressure inflatable floor provides rigidity and comfort to the paddler,
enabling him/her to stay dry and contributing to the overall performance of the kayak.
THE DECK: Above water level, using our expertise in kitesurf technology the kayak is made
in a very light weight material, yet remains strong enough to withstand outside knocks.
The two main bladders are made of urethane (as in the case of kites), which are protected by a
highly-resistant Dacron envelope, which is in turn surrounded by a polyester skin on the deck.
Anatomic backrests come with the kayak as well as adjustable footrests to ensure maximum
comfort and enhanced paddle-stroke.
To ensure maximum life out of your kayak, a certain amount of care must be taken when
setting it up and maintaining it. Read this leaflet carefully. We wish you a lot of pleasant
outings with your kayak!
