Nigel Dennis Kayaks
Manufacturing sea kayaks since 1993 Nigel has developed a whole range of kayaks for a wide spectrum of kayakers specifically for advanced conditions.
Overview
The HV has exactly the same hull as the Explorer. Knee humps have been added to the deck to allow for a higher knee position, creating more of a whitewater cockpit feel and allowing greater comfort for paddlers with longer legs or larger feet. There is also an inch and a half of extra height between top of the seat and underside of the deck. The performance contour or foam seat can be used to further enhance this geometry.
