My wife and I own NDK Explorer since 7 Years and made some multi day tented trips in Norway, Baja Calfornia, Elba, Kornaten Archipel, Sardinia. We feel save even under rough condidiones, the kayaks carries a lot of load and are very tolerant to bumpy landings. We are traveling through wonderful Helgeland with tent Archipel (Norway) with some challenging weather condidiones.
