Single seater folding kayak NERIS Alu-1 Expedition

NERIS Alu-1 is a unique framed kayak-transformer. If you have an Alu-1 kayak, you can easily get a double seater NERIS Alu-2 or a triple seater NERIS Alu-3 with minimum investment. The kayak's module structure allows to transform the models using the Transformer kit - the skin and the extra frame pieces of the respective models, which is up to 70% cheaper than the cost of a complete kayak.

Here you can find detailed information on transforming the Alu series kayaks.

Features of the NERIS Alu-1 Expedition model:

• The kayak's design is simple and reliable, it's easy to assemble and has no fragile plastic frame fasteners;
• The kayak has spacious bow and stern storage compartments;
• It is supplied together with a practical inflatable seat;
• The kayak is packed into a lightweight and durable rucksack with adjustable shoulder straps and a hip belt;
• The rucksack's dimensions are 43х23х110 cm, upon request the kayak can be packed into two rucksacks (one for the skin and one for the frame).
• Alu-1 has two closed and one open Duralumin cross ribs with stainless steel stringer supports, which significantly increases its reliability, durability and useful life;
• The skin is made of hard-wearing marine grade PVC fabric, the hull has special protector strips fitted along all of the chines that are formed by the stringers and the keel bar;
• Practical carrying handles;
• The kayak can optionally be equipped with the second seat for a child;
• The kayak can be harnessed with a "Gennaker with an A-mast";
• With no inflatable balloons the boat has more available storage;
• Cast bracket on the stern to mount the rudder;
• Body harness on the kayak's deck;
• Not recommended for sea and ocean, as salty water can over time affect the durability of Duralumin cross ribs.
