Current Designs Whistler Kayak

Transitional Kayaks / WhistlerRe-designed in recent years, we updated this old favorite with a modernized deck profile, keyhole cockpit, and recessed deck fittings. Now featuring increased foot room, the Whistler is a great option for paddlers wanting to move up from a recreational kayak, or start out with a seaworthy transitional design. Stable and very user friendly, the upswept bow makes the Whistler highly maneuverable while keeping you dry when waves kick up. A great kayak for activity oriented paddlers like photographers or fishermen. Rudder is optional.

The bows typically have more flare and are usually more buoyant than others. This enables our shorter boats to be excellent surf zone kayaks.

Longer kayaks benefit from this feature in large seas.Soft Chine: A smooth transition from the bottom of the hull to the sides. Soft chines give smooth edging at unlimited angles. The majority of kayaks that we build have a soft chine.Shallow V: The “V” shape improves tracking, has a lively feel and delivers very comfortable stability.
