surf,
go for speed, take it anywhere
The
highly innovative, retractable rudder system, based on the type used
on the sprint kayaks, is located in the last quarter of the kayak.
This provides superior bite while steering in rough seas. The
Spitfire is also a great surfer, making beach landing in the most
difficult conditions a cinch.
stability and comfort
The
Spitfire is designed with an uncompromising unique approach to
design and the endless problem solving situations that are
presented to a designer looking for stable, fast responsive craft.
An
interesting feature of the Spitfire is the amazingly accessible
cockpit. Easy to get in and out of, and very comfortable while
seating with key points of contact and control. The hatches are to
large, offering quick and easy access to the impressive amounts of
gear this kayak will handle.

Construction:
Xytec
technology, combined with the unique Spitfire design brings to
market the first truly high performance, lightweight plastic sea
kayak. Xytec allows us to mold a complex, advanced design which
would otherwise be impossible with Superlinear to make. This
permits us to produce a kayak that closely resembles its composite
sister in every aspect - from weight, to speed and performance,
whether on the roughest seas or mirrored bays.
