Velocity
The Velocity is regarded as the most effective crossover kayak
ever designed. Given Sun's design team, this is not surprising. The
Velocity hull is unique in its concept. It operates as a
displacement hull at low speeds, and a planing hull when it's
moving fast.
Performance
Oriented
This unique concept has allowed us to create a kayak that is
extremely fast for its relative short length. It is very stable
and tracks effortlessly. This allows the paddler to overcome long
distances with ease, even when the kayak is fully loaded. Coastal
paddles, or deep inlets, the Velocity will perform as well as
distance oriented sea kayaks. Rest assured the ride will be as
stable and effortless as a recreational cottage kayak.
At
Home in Whitewater or Surf
Introduce this kayak to whitewater, or ocean surf, and the
Velocity becomes a performance orientated hybrid. The Velocity
planes up on the flat section in the center, permitting the
paddler to surf to his hearts delight along fast curling breaks,
or run easily down technical class 3 whitewater.
Velocity
Trek
The Velocity Trek is designed for utility and
economy. Compare with the Velocity Expedition
which offers the same hull performance, but with
additional outfitting options like a bow hatch, 2 bulkheads
instead of one, and skeg.

Construction:
Xytec™
is much stiffer, stronger, more wear resistant and has better shape
retention than any other plastic kayak we know of. It has almost 30% more impact and
wear resistance than the best linear polyethylenes.
Velocity is getting Glowing Reviews!
"Bang
vs. Buck: It's faster, lighter, and even more fun than it
looks. One could almost buy a full-size plastic touring boat
for the same money, but it would be 20 pounds heavier and
nowhere near as nimble."
