Low Volume

The NDK Romany 16 LV is is designed to fill the demand for smaller sea kayaks, especially as the number of female sea kayakers grow. Instead of producing a new kayak I have decided to modify the Romany, Explorer and Greenlander Pro. For all of these models a LV (Low Volume) option is available. All kayaks have modified cockpits and reduced volume, while the hulls remain essentially the same. The LV kayaks have been fitted with a new Keyhole cockpit rim customized to fit smaller kayakers. 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: 16' x 21.5" Weight: 54 lbs

High Volume

The NDK Romany HV (formerly the Poseidon), is the new compact kayak design. It has similar paddling characteristics of the Romany, but it can accommodate much larger paddlers. It is slightly longer and wider then the Romany and it has more volume in the cockpit area as well as wider cockpit. Since it has slightly harder chines it has higher initial stability than The Romany and at the same time has great rough weather performance. Finally, a performance oriented compact boat for larger paddles. The outfitting is the same as other NDK kayaks.

Romany Surf

The Romany Surf is the newest NDK boat that is essentially the Romany High Volume with a new deck mold and configuration. Designed for larger paddlers, but with paddling characteristics similar to the Romany. Look for photos and additional details coming soon
