The Legend; a high performance sea kayak designed to take you anywhere you want to go.
This used Legend is in excellent condition and is waiting for a thrill-seeking paddler ready for adventure!

The Legend handles beautifully in wild conditions and surfs with precision in following seas. The hull provides a comfortable degree of initial stability, while the chines offer substantial secondary stability to confidently edge for quick turning, and directional control. The clipper bow and secondary levels of buoyancy in the hull make the Legend a dry boat to paddle, while the clean deck layout, with everything from hatches to safety line anchor points and compass being recessed, minimizes spray. The cockpit is roomy inside for leg and foot comfort, with a comfortable seat. The Legend has expedition carrying capacity, and is easy to load through the two large oval hatches, with a round offset "day-hatch" to one side behind the paddler accessing a separate sealed compartment.

You'll find the Legend generous for foot room, accommodating long legs comfortably. The "comfort seat" that comes as standard is higher at the front than some prefer for "performance" paddling; in which case fit a shorter and flatter foam seat.
