Outfitting

When fitting out the boat, we focussed consistently on ergonomics and weight optimisation: Thanks to the smart design of parts, we have created a sturdy cockpit for a direct and ergonomic interface between the paddler and the boat’s hull. The footrest, thigh braces, seat, hip pads and backrest are all tailored to the ergonomics of a paddler for an untiring day on the river.

Backrest adjustment, like with all other Spade Kayaks, works through a rope and cam cleats sytem. This is super solid and easy to repair on the go if the rope snaps when out on the river. Ratchet style backrest adjustment is available as an aftermorket accessory for extra cost but you won’t need it – cam cleats are well established and work reliably when the correct rope type is used.

Our fully integrated seat-rail-tower combo enables ergonomic seating over long periods on the water. The tower supports the cockpit area in pinned situations and over large drops. It also can be used as an emergency step for a safe exit in critical situations.
