The Eliza is the lightest kayak in our fleet, a pleasure to get to the water, and a delight to paddle. Designed specifically for women, it has room for hips (don't look at the width - it's the depth, the cockpit opening and the seat design that matter). The 15 foot hull provides optimum efficiency at cruising speed of 3-4 knots. Its low windage and water-shedding foredeck make for lively paddling in strong winds. With the low rear deck rolling or re-entry from the water is a snap. The shallow vee hull reacts instantly to edging, giving a perfect balance between maneuverability and tracking. The easy-sliding skeg is barely needed. No day hatch (would add weight).

Ms. Kayak says: Monica, Grace, Cecilia and Karin like Eliza as much as I do - it is a blast to paddle!
