Experience the ultimate in performance with the Spirit kayak!

This high-performance kayak is designed to push the limits of what you thought was possible on the water.

Based on the proven design of the Enigma, the Spirit combines many of the same features to provide you with an unparalleled surfing experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, the Spirit’s forgiving design ensures that you’ll enjoy every ride.

With sharp rails for drive and speed, a gently rolled hull for looseness when going rail to rail, and a bevelled rail to increase your ability to change direction, the Spirit offers control and poise when turning off the bottom and top. The concave sides also provide exceptional hold in critical sections, while the gentle “V” tail adds a little extra directional stability and confidence on bigger waves.

Key design features of the Spirit include:

• a rounded pin tail, tight bevelled rails
• a “V” hull tail
• a comfort and performance-oriented seating position.
• The deck is also designed to provide additional strengthening and aesthetic appeal.
• The thruster fin setup adds to the Spirit’s stability and control, making it the perfect choice for surfers of all levels.

Designed in collaboration with Jem Howe, the Spirit is the ultimate high-performance kayak for surfing enthusiasts who want to take their skills to the next level.
