You don't have to choose between your activities neither your skills and your progression. And you store it anywhere !
How it works
![]()
It's an adjustable skin-on-frame kayak, a mixed between high pressure tubes and few aluminium poles (Air modular frame, patent in progress, so no details for the moment). A great rigidity core with a modular skin shape. You can adjust the shape by pulling 4 ropes. one for the main width, 2 for the front and rear width and one for the curve hull shape (rocker).
Here just a little basic principle animation of the flexible frame

So, for example you can go fast to your favorite place and be more stable when you want fishing or simply chilling, just by pulling a rope.

Option, not yet available but ready for :
Adding a float and 2 poles, it becomes an outrigger
Adding 2 floats, poles and a sail, it becomes a trimaranSafety
In surfski ou racing sea configuration it will be difficult to climb into your boat because is unstable.
The rope adjustment for the main width is easy to reach even if your are in the water. It's really helpful and safier for beginners and also advanced in an emergency case.
And with the safety floats is unsinkable.
As the frame is semirigid (high pressure tube) you cannot break it like a classic alu or wood frame.
