The Norse Embla kayak represents the new generation of sea kayak design. Tested on the Scandinavian coasts where the mountains meet the Atlantic ocean, this kayak will excel anywhere in the world.
The Embla is all about performance, handling and seaworthiness. The hull is optimized for speed while being highly maneuverable due to its double hard chine. The crisp handling characteristics will help beginners unlock more advanced technique while providing performance for the experienced paddler who wants a responsive and agile sea kayak.
Embla is designed to be an extension of the body, the interface between the human body and the ever changing sea. For this reason larger paddlers will want to consider the Norse Ask featuring the same design characteristics in larger package.
Ask and Embla are designed by Danish kayak designer, Jesper Kromann-Andersen, known in Scandinavia for the design of the original Arrow Play, Nuka and Empower kayaks. Jesper has also made several successful designs for U.S. based Current Designs.
