Viggen – a flexible and stable beginner kayak
Viggen is a shorter sea kayak that is excellently suited to calmer waters such as lakes or rivers, but also handles windier conditions if you use a spray skirt. It is stable, easy to manoeuvre, and therefore a perfect choice for anyone wanting to get started with paddling. Viggen also offers good scope for development for those who want to learn more technique and take longer trips over time.

Responds quickly to paddle strokes
Thanks to its relatively short length, you get direct feedback when paddling, giving you great control in narrower passages such as rivers and smaller waterways. At the same time, it's robust and roomy enough to bring gear on overnight trips.

Family-friendly and hard-wearing
The footrests are easily adjustable, meaning the kayak can be adapted for paddlers of different heights – from around 150 to 195 cm. Several family members can therefore share the same kayak. The material is a polyethylene plastic (HDPE) that withstands both knocks and wear. That means you can pull Viggen up onto rocks or jetties without worrying about cracks.

Comfortable cockpit
The large cockpit gives good legroom and makes it easy to get in and out. Thanks to the soft seat and an adjustable backrest, you can sit comfortably even on longer trips, which in turn makes paddling more enjoyable and relaxing.

Practical storage and a handy carry handle
Viggen has two storage compartments: one at the front and one at the back, where you can fit the essentials for a day trip or a short overnight stay. Small items such as a map and water bottle are easily stored in the mesh pocket in front of the cockpit. There are also carry handles at the bow and stern, so it's no problem lifting the kayak together with a friend – or gripping the cockpit rim if you're carrying it a short distance on your own.

Different plastic layers – what's the difference?
In the discussion of 1-layer vs. 3-layer plastic kayaks, there's a fair amount of misunderstanding out there. The truth is that both variants can offer high quality:

1-layer plastic: More flexible, handles knocks well, and is often well suited to shorter kayaks.
3-layer plastic: Often stiffer and therefore more torsionally stable, especially in kayaks over five metres in length.
The choice therefore depends on the type of kayak and the model's purpose, rather than the number of layers itself. If you have questions about materials and durability, feel free to contact us – we have over ten years' experience selling kayaks in different plastic constructions.
