Double Kayaks
We offer
two styles of double kayaks, both of which are from the Easy Rider Beluga
series.
Our Standard Belugas are just under 17 feet in length,
weigh 68 pounds, have a load capacity of 600 pounds, and have built-in
foam flotation in case of tipping. |

The Expedition
Belugas are 18 feet, weigh 79 pounds, have a load capacity of 700
pounds, and come with bow and stern bulkheads. The longer Expedition Beluga
allows for easier packing and extra carrying capacity for longer trips.

Expedition Beluga
|
Both Belugas
are the number one choice in Glacier Bay, first because they can be easily
loaded onto and transported on the park kayak/camper drop off vessel.
Second, their width of 32 inches allows huge load capacities. They frequently
carry two kayakers and gear for 7 to 10 days. Belugas are well known for
their cruising efficiency and excellent initial and final stability. Novice
paddlers feel secure with its extreme stability; experienced paddlers
appreciate its speed and maneuverability. The Beluga can be paddled solo
to add extra packing capacity for group expeditions. Large cockpits for
easy packing and entry. Comfortable contoured seats and adjustable backrests.
Ruddering system with sliding foot pedals. Deck tie-down bungies. Bow
and stern lines with toggle handles. Paddling vests by Extrasport; small
deck dry bags by Cascade Designs; paddles by Aquabound; and sprayskirts
by Feathercraft. Pumps and sponges included. |
