Eskimå – a favorite among our sea kayaks
Havspaddeln Eskimå has become a firm favorite in Sweden, primarily thanks to its versatility. It is an easy-to-maneuver sea kayak appreciated by both beginners and more experienced paddlers. Its sleek hull design lets you pick up speed effortlessly while sitting comfortably in a spacious cockpit.
Easy to adjust and navigate
Inside the cockpit you will find foot pedals for controlling the rudder. These can be quickly adjusted to your leg length, even while seated in the kayak. A deck net pocket makes it easy to store a map, fruit or anything else you want to reach during your trip.
Long waterline and excellent stability
Since the Eskimå measures over 5 meters, it qualifies as a sea kayak, meaning it handles choppier and windier conditions with ease. The extended waterline provides better directional stability and helps the kayak cut through the water efficiently.
Durable 3-layer plastic construction
The Eskimå is made from 3-layer polyethylene, making it both torsionally stiff and impact resistant. You don't need to worry about cracks when dragging the kayak up on a rock. The material also requires minimal maintenance, so you can spend more time on the water and less time on repairs.
Simple rudder and steering system
The rudder is located at the stern and is controlled via the foot pedals. You can raise and lower the rudder using a handy cord placed within easy reach. This makes it easy to change direction or counteract gusts of wind, especially in more challenging conditions.
Storage options
The kayak has two large hatches as well as a smaller hatch behind the cockpit. There is room for a sleeping bag, food, extra clothing and everything else you might need for a weekend trip. Smaller items are best stored in the net pocket or the smaller screw-lid hatch so you can quickly reach them while paddling.
Comfort and ergonomics
The seat is padded and has an adjustable backrest in height, depth and lateral directions. There are also thigh braces on the inside of the cockpit, ensuring you sit comfortably and maintain good control even on longer stretches on the water.
Practical carry handles
Carry handles at both bow and stern make it easy to move the kayak. If you need to transport it on your own, a kayak trolley is a practical addition for rolling it over land.
