BORÉALDESIGN Kayak innovations

Reverse hard chine

Unique skeg system

The reverse hard chine is an exclusive feature on many of our kayaks. Such chines optimise the surface contact with the water, imparting p g exceptional p secondary y stability y and enhancing manoeuvrability while on a lean. The reverse hard chine is responsible in part for the success and popularity of our Baffin and Ellesmere models.

Remarkably simple to use, our skeg system is controled with a dial graded from 0 to 5 which corresponds to angles of 0 to 50 degrees. The skeg box is designed to optimize the storage space in the rear compartment.

100 % Rubber hatch lid

Rudder system with Spectra® cord

BORÉALDESIGN is proud to offer you 100 % rubber hatch lids. This material allows the lids to stay flexible even in cold temperature and offers greater watertightness.

The Spectra® cord, which is very resistant to breakage, has many advantages over stainless cables : it’s light, quiet, and diminishes friction. The use of the Spectra® rope decreases corrosion hazards, as well as time and fees associated with the maintenance of your kayak.

BORÉALDESIGN Warranty Kayaks Kayaks are guaranteed for two years from the date of purchase. The warranty covers parts and labour to correct material or manufacturing defects. The warranty is transferable and does not cover damages caused by improper use, negligence or damages sustained during transport.

Faultless finish Undeniable quality The brilliant and impeccable finish of BORÉALDESIGN kayaks is attributed to two important elements : The high quality of materials used in our construction and the great care and attention to detail our passionate team brings forth. All of our kayaks, as well as our moulds, are carefully fabricated, inspected and painstakingly maintained. That is why you can appreciate and trust a BORÉALDESIGN kayak.

Respectful of “Try Before You Buy” the environment Program BORÉALDESIGN is an eco-responsible company. When producing our kayaks we apply many measure meant to preserve the environment. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve and make our production greener.
