Kon Tiki
Trek
On
April 28, 1947, Norwegian Thor Hayerdahl and 5 crew members
embarked on a daring 4300 mile expedition to duplicate the
migration of the peoples from Peru to the South Sea Islands on a
balsa raft. Amid raging storms, whales and countless shark attacks
they landed on the Polynesian island of Raroia.
Our
Kon Tiki is like the remarkable success story of the undersized
balsa raft; shorter than most traditional tandems. This makes it
light and maneuverable, while the tri-hull design maintains
surprising speed and stability despite its shorter length.
User-Friendly
The
Kon Tiki is generally considered the most versatile and user
friendly tandem kayak in the world. And it is over 30% lighter
than comparative tandems and extra stiff due to the incredible
Xytec plastic process.
Kon Tiki Expedition
The
Kon Tiki is a basic version for rental operations and entry level
paddlers seeking an affordable, easy to maintain kayak. Compare
with the Kon Tiki Expedition which offers the same hull
performance, with additional outfitting options such as extra
storage, and drop skeg standard.
