Welcome to a detailed look
A comprehensive review of a technical touring kayak for open water paddling, by Kajaktiv.
The PROTEUS is made for long and fast tours on open waters and along the coast. Pronounced keel-sections in the front and rear result in a long water line and consequently in a high cruising speed. A safe position in the water and a balanced relation between directional stability and maneuverability gives you anytime a superior feeling. Easy steering via its edges!
It is equipped with
- Two waterproof bulkheads with PE-hatches
- Two large deck-nets, one in front and one behind the cockpit
- Day-hatch within reach in front of the cockpit
- Roundabout-leash for mounting bags and pockets
- Paddleholder behind the cockpit
- Spare-paddle holder
- Anti-theft device
- Towline
- Prepared for steering
The PROTEUS is available in GRP and Carbon-Aramide for an optimum of stiffness and light weight.
The PROTEUS is available in several color combinations.

Reinforced deck:
Our kayaks are constructed to be as light as possible. If you are a heavy paddler or plan to do re-entries etc. it could be helpful to have a reinforced deck. For this, we add an extra layer of glassfiber/carbon-aramide with transverse reinforcement to the rear deck, at a premium. The weight of your kayak increases by approx. 2 kg.
