(RP-SIS530single/Sea530) 17.6ft professional sea kayak

sea530 kayak manufacturer from ningbo china.

Summary

The Sea 530 is the longest and fastest touring kayak. It is surprisingly stable for a kayak this fast, while it has ample packing space for extended expeditions. It is sleek enough to be used as a fitness training kayak, but it really comes into its own as a flatwater and ocean touring kayak where long distances need to be covered while loaded with gear.

Hull design

The hull is surfski-inspired, with a full-length waterline. The bow is designed to cut through waves, but with enough volume to climb over waves when conditions require it. The shallow V and soft edges ensure a predictable ride, while the rocker profile offers the best compromise between agility and good tracking.

The hull is stable enough for most beginners. At the same time, more experienced paddlers will enjoy the ability to keep cruising in difficult conditions without concerns about stability.

The Sea530 is standard fitted with a rudder, while a drop-down skeg is available too.

Deck design

The deck is fully featured with everything a true touring kayak requires, while keeping the deck free of clutter. You can call the Sea 530 a lean machine!

The deck was designed for maximum storage space while keeping wind sensitivity in mind. The sleek design is further enhanced by paddle cutaways in front of the cockpit, making paddle strokes most efficient.

The front and back deck sport 44x26cm oval hatches, giving access to the large international spaces for extended expeditions. A separate day compartment behind the cockpit is access through a 8” round hatch. All these compartments are sealed off with 50mm close-cell foam bulkheads, glued in with 3M adhesives.

The moulded-in lunch box in front of the cockpit has a 8” hatch, with storage for a phone and snacks.

As with the other models in the touring line-up, two paddle holders are offered: one in front of the cockpit, where the paddle can be secured with a bungee, and one behind the cockpit which is handy when re-entering the kayak after a capsize.

The deck also features a compass pocket on the front deck, as well as a bungee system behind the cockpit to enable paddle float rescues.

The deck is rounded off with strategically-placed bungee cords front and back, safety deck lines, toggle handles and a security bar.
