A hard chine imparts exceptional secondary stability to a kayak. On the other hand, the flat surfaces inherent in this profile entail greater surface contact with water. The resulting added friction can be offset by replacing the traditional «V» shape with a semi-arched profile.
Our research on hull shapes allowed us to introduce the concept of reverse hard chine to the market. A reverse hard chine optimizes kayak behaviour during the lean. Instead of following the natural curve of the kayak, the chine converges with waterlines during a lean. The craft tends to bite the water, which increases the effect of the turn. By ingeniously combining the concept of reverse hard chine with a semi-arched shape, speed and responsiveness work together, whereas under normal circumstances, they tend to work against each other.
