Overview

The extended waterline gives Melker Ulvön an excellent glide and the highest speed with very little effort. With the large volume in the bow, the kayak offers an exceptional performance catching bigger waves and swells. The smooth cockpit is optimized for efficient power strokes and rotation, and is further customized for excellent comfort and great convenience during entry and exit, even for the larger paddlers.
Melker Ulvön has been nominated to several awards and most recently the kayak won The German Design Award in Excellent Product Design, the official and most prestigious design award - honoured by the international design industry & community. The kayak’s playfulness shows itself in the strongly turned freeboards and refined curves, which give the kayak a great end stability and maneuverability, offering responsive and comfortable carving turns. The maneuverability can be even further enhanced with a responsive and retractable rudder, making it possible to master the most challenging conditions. The adjustable, ergonomic and padded seat in combination with optimal legroom give you great control in the tougher conditions and exceptional comfort during the full day’s ride. Melker's plant-based construction aims to revolutionize the industry and help protect the waters and environment we all love.

What Users Are Saying

"...The kayak deftly blends the long waterline, minimal rocker and sleek dimensions of a speed-centric kayak with a more play-oriented shallow-V hull and semi-hard chines. Loaded, it behaves as an expedition kayak should, very stable, comfortable and predictable..."
