You will often see this kayak traveling with Makaira.

It was designed by Nick Schade of Guillemot Kayaks and handcrafted by Nikolas with great care. The magic of a strip kayak is that it all begins with a single wooden beam, cut and planed into thin strips that are meticulously shaped into the hull.

It is crafted from Western red cedar with oak reinforcements, a carbon fiber interior, epoxy resin, and fiberglass.

Measuring 5.20 meters in length and weighing an impressive 12 kilos, it is fast, stable, and remarkably agile—making it ideal for both quick getaways and long sea excursions.
