Description
The Expedition LV is a compact, comfortable and elegant touring kayak designed for people weighing between 55 to 90 kilograms. At 480 centimeters in length, it bears a striking resemblance to its brother , the Expedition HV. It is made from high-quality, three-layered, hard HDPE polyethylene, which uniquely combines stiffness, lightweight and durability.
The SeaBird Designs Expedition is an excellent combination of speed, stability, capacity, lightweight design and versatility, making it one of the most versatile kayaks available. Its elegant lines are the epitome of style, following the modern Swedish design which is widest at the rear seat for maximum comfort and efficiency in paddling. The Expedition has a long waterline, making it fast and stable, and it handles wind and waves with ease. It features four storage compartments, two larger ones for extended expeditions and two smaller ones for everyday essentials such as food, drinks, and gloves.
The smallest compartment is made of soft and durable neoprene and is perfect for storing items such as mobile phones, GPS devices, and sunglasses. Bungee cords hold water bottles, spare paddles, waistbands, and other essentials on the front and back deck of the kayak. Ergonomic handles at each end make it easy to transport on land. The kayak is extremely comfortable to sit in, with a wide padded seat, adjustable footrests, and backrest for optimal posture. The footrests can be adjusted up to ten centimeters in both directions.
The SeaBird Designs Expedition family of kayaks is considered among the best touring kayaks available, providing a unique sense of stability and safety. The designer of the Expedition models is Ingvar Ankervik, a fourth-generation shipbuilder and designer from one of the world's oldest kayak builders.
