Overview

The Freya represents a four-year collaborative design effort between John Lockwood, owner and designer of Pygmy Boats, and his daughter, Freya. The final version of this design was flown to Greenland where Freya won the National Greenland Rolling Competition. The Freya is intended for advanced paddlers who want to further develop their rolling skills. The hull and decks were redesigned to make forward finishing hand rolls easier. This kayak is not intended for beginner paddlers.

Excellent kayak for a small person, it fit very tight on me. since pygmy kayaks is out of business as of 2023 (or earlier), you need to find an already built model, or someone who bought a kit and never put it together. EXCELLENT kayak for rolling!
