Low Volume

The NDK EXPLORER LV is designed to fill the demand for a lower volume cockpit. The LV’s cockpit rim is 3.5" (87mm) shorter than the standard and 1" (25mm) narrower with the leg braces brought back towards the paddler. It has the same hull as the Explorer but with a lower front deck.

The rim is 3.5" (87mm) shorter than the standard and 1" (25mm) narrower with the leg braces brought back towards the paddler. All kayaks have less volume and a redesigned front deck.

Dimensions: 17'6" x 21.5" Weight: 56 lbs.

High Volume

The NDK EXPLORER HV has been designed to facilitate more leg and foot room by increasing the volume in the cockpit and modifying the deck mold in the area of the knees and thighs. There’s an extra inch and a half between the top of the seat and the underside of the deck. The result is a higher knee position which allows the feet to rest closer to the highest point of the deck (size 12’s with boots on are no problem at all), and allows larger or taller paddlers to maintain a more comfortable arch in the lower back. The hull has not been altered, but the deck modifications do provide the some nice-to-have additional freeboard when surfing the boat on an extreme edge
