DESCRIPTION: The Hurricane Expedition 140 (formerly called the Santee Expedition) is designed to be a Roomy, Steady and Versatile kayak. At only 51 lbs, this is one of the lightest Day Touring kayaks for larger paddlers. The secret to this weight savings can be found in its Thermoformed construction.
Two sheets of ABS plastic with an Acrylic cap are heated, vacuum formed and bonded together. The result is a kayak that is light, attractive, stiff and with 5 times the UV resistance of the typical Polyethylene boat. Although the Thermoformed ABS construction yields greater UV stability, abrasion resistance and stiffness, ABS is not as impact resistant as Polyethylene. Consequently, Thermoformed ABS is not recommended for abusive environments such as Whitewater.
The Expedition is one of the most stable and roomy Day Touring Hybrids on the market. This kayak is well suited for longer trips on lakes, slow moving deep rivers, estuaries and other semi - protected waterways.
This beamy, 14 ft Day Touring Hybrid is very user - friendly and offers a good blend of Tracking and Stability. An average paddler can expect to cover 3 - 3.5 miles in an hour of paddling. The increased displacement of the Expedition 140 makes it well suited for larger folks.
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:
- Aquabound Stingray Paddle
- Paddling Specific PFD
- Kayak Cart
