Etain Expedition Sea Kayaks from Valley
The Valley Etain has been created to compliment the Valley line up. The Etain is a swede form design kayak unlike the usual fish form in the other Valley Sea Kayaks. The Swede form means that the widest point of the kayak is past the mid point of the kayak towards the stern. This helps to increase the boats forward paddling speed as you are now paddling in a narrower part of the kayak. Compared to the current Valley kayaks we all know, the Etain has better initial stability due to its shallow V section hull and and swede form design. The hull also has a moderate rocker which allows you to still have a fun and lively ride. Once on edge the Etain sits on a solid wall of secondary stability and allows you to turn positively and effortlessly.
The Valley Etain is fitted out with everything you would expect to see from Valley. One of the most noticable additions is the storage pod in front of the deck. Although this is not the largest of storage hatches it gives the paddler ample leg room and foot room which is essential for the larger footed paddler.
It is also removable to allow you to carry it off if you stop in town for lunch.
There is plenty of other storage in the 2 large oval hatches and round day hatch.
There is a retractable skeg wire operated on the left hand side of the cockpit.
The Etain RM retains all the features of the composite model built in an advanced triple-layer polyethylene construction. By offering a true expedition style kayak in this tough roto-moulded construction Valley offers a kayak ideally suited to a large number of paddlers and a multitude of usages.
