Triton's Ladoga-1 single represents the new generation of folding kayaks: round bilges replace chines, reducing wetted surface; low aft silhouette decreases broaching forces-breakers wash right over it; alloy tube frame and modern skin materials subtly balance performance enhancing hull stiffness with sea-kindly flexibility. A boat for all seasons.

Simon River Sports' Laser K-1 was designedby Olympic Canoe/Kayak Team coach Lou Lukanovich as a development sprint or marathon racing K-1. The Laser uses the same principles and specifications as the elite sport's kayaks but offers a hull shape that is flatter along the bottom, enabling the novice to gain balance quickly while developing technique. It features a patented integrated footbrace/tiller steering system, an understern rudder and fiberglass sandwich standard lay-up. Medium volume, 17 ft, 27 lbs.
