I'm about to upgrade my Sea Kayak, so putting my current one up for sale.

The Easky 17 is a "proper" entry-level sea kayak. Being long and sleek it's good in proper seas, it's also the LV (low volume) version which makes it sleek (the full volume is like a barge).

It has a "keyhole" cockpit, so it's easy to get in and out of (as against an "ocean" cockpit which is very small):

Quote:

Paddle away from the stresses of the modern world. In a 17ft kayak it is easier than ever before. With just a few strokes you will be away from it all!

On flat water or out at sea the Easky 17 LV will excel with lighter paddlers in the cockpit and allow you to manoeuvre around easily in all water conditions. You can go wherever you want to go with nothing to stop you. Set your own limits..

Take yourself off for an easy paddle from jetty to jetty around a calm lake with clear blue skies surrounding you. Allow the 17 LVs stability provide you with the freedom to stop and float around the water and let you take it all in when nature shows an interest in what you're doing!

Being out there with only the bird song, gentle splashing or inquisitive seals that pop their heads up to say hello whilst out on the ocean is one of the greatest feelings you will ever have. Spend some time away. Explore the water.
