WE UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PASSIONATE ABOUT PADDLING. Our kayaks are as distinct as the people who paddle them. For each adventurer we make travel compelling with a balance of comfort, speed and maneuverability. A PASSION TO PADDLE. More than 30 years after the first Necky slipped from a quiet cove into the exposed unknown of the Pacific Northwest, our belief in streamlined, elegant, and purposebuilt boats remains the core of our approach.
Through design and testing on this wild edge of the continent, we’ve found that function creates the purest form, and comfort and toughness go hand in hand.
DESIGN AND ENGINEERING Engineering a kayak is a complex proposition. For every performance element gained, another may be diminished. Kayak design is a delicate negotiation that, when done well, minimizes this sort of compromise. The paddler and the water

hulls are second-to-none in design and performance.
Every Necky is crafted to optimize the performance not only of the boat, but also the paddler. Find your perfect mate here in our latest product guide. Or visit us on the World Wide Web, and discover a whole new world to explore.

comfort and dry protection from waves and the elements.
FLAT BOTTOM FLAT BOTTOM
Length: The longer the kayak, the more “wetted surface” it has, which will make it more speed efficient for touring, but somewhat less maneuverable. Shorter hulls respond quicker to paddle strokes and are more nimble.

Beam: This is the maximum width of the kayak. Wide equals stable, FLAT BOTTOM while a skinnier kayak will slice through water cleaner for enhancedFLAT speed. BOTTOM FLAT BOTTOM

when leaning. A hard chine has steep, stable hull sides that are more resistant SHALLOW ARCH to leaning.

MANITOU

These super sleek, clean-lined kayaks have an integral keel which provides the new or experienced paddler an outstanding blend of tracking, balance and maneuverability, even in windy conditions. The Manitous have amazingly quiet glide, and high
