K1 40, K1 41, K1 43 & K1 45– fast racing kayaks with hull shapes developed from our surf skis based on optimal hydrodynamics which together with our extremely light carbon fiber construction provides very easily driven kayaks regardless of whether you choose 45, 43, 41 or 40 cm width.

Of course, there is a little more top speed to pick up in K1 40 which is suited for top racing paddlers and comes in two sizes L(70-90) and XL(90+), while K1 41 is intended for racing paddlers seeking a very stable top end model. The K1 43 is addressing experienced exercise paddlers. Providing some extra stability without losing too much cruising speed, the K1 45 suits an even wider range of paddlers. All our NK K1 models are perceived as stable for their width.

The seat is designed to provide good support around the entire seat cup. This makes the difference from a more open typical seat: you sit more comfortably for a longer period of time. The back end is sloping and enables good rotation and leg work. The seats are adjustable in four heights depending on what you prefer.

The footrest comes as two choices, either pedals or more typical T-bar steering, both fit in the same adjustment system. Together with our adjustable foot strap it gives the paddler good and stable foot rest with a quick steering response.
