Ruahine F1

Introducing the F1, the pinnacle of kayak engineering designed for the advanced paddler and hailed as the fastest multisport kayak in the world—we believe it, and so do Coast to Coast champions Richard Usher, George Christison, and more recently, Sam Clark, who have all experienced victory astride the F1.

Meticulously crafted with a hull design perfected through the expertise of Richard Karn, an ex-yacht designer for Team NZ, the F1 stands as a testament to precision and speed. This kayak is not just fast; it's a masterpiece of hydrodynamics, offering remarkable secondary stability. Its lower volume and impressive 6.2-meter length allow for unparalleled acceleration, effortlessly cutting through wave trains and eliminating any hint of rocking.

The F1 isn't just a kayak; it's a force of nature on the water, delivering an experience tailored for the most skilled and daring paddlers. With a pedigree of Coast to Coast victories and the endorsement of elite athletes, the F1 is the definitive choice for those who demand the absolute best in speed, stability, and performance. Join the ranks of champions and push your limits with the F1—the fastest multisport kayak designed for those who seek the thrill of being at the forefront of aquatic excellence.
