Sporty Streamlined Kayaks

David Laudert's Freestyle Kajak Melds Athlete and Equipment

The kayak has rarely been redesigned, and German designer David Laudert decided to break this trend with his Freestyle Kajak. He has created a kayak that melds with the contours of the rider's body, creating a more in tune and athletic design that responds much better to the rider's movements.

By improving the ergonomics, appearance and interior of kayaks with the Freestyle Kajak, Laudert provides much promise for the future of kayak users around the world. The Freestyle Kajak glides more easily through the water, while allowing the rider to move more freely without fear thanks to the straps in the seat that effectively hold him or her in place. The Freestyle Kajak is also much shorter than regular designs.
