The Force Category 5 is the perfect choice for larger expedition paddlers who want to push themselves and their kayaks to the limit. The great fit of this kayak will encourage you to spend more time on the water and simply give it your all.
The Forces series (Force 3, 4 & 5) is quite fast and has strong tracking characteristics yet maintains maneuverability and playfulness in both calm and challenging conditions. The narrower beam and minimal rocker allows for longer glide times with each paddle stroke. He is ideal for the avid paddler looking for stability and comfort without sacrificing speed and efficiency. The large 17×33 cockpit allows for a superior fit for long legs but also well-developed thighs. The longer, wider cockpit opening allows for easy entry and exit while keeping the mid-ship height down.
