It’s a philosophy born from the idea that it’s not about where you take your kayak – it’s where

the kayak takes you. So regardless of the destination, we invite you to begin each journey by

exploring our North American, Greenland, British and new Danish style collections, in addition

to a range of recreational and specialty models. Each one destined to be “a work of art, made

for life” that let’s you take your passion further.

We paddlethe globe.Current Designs borrows i ts design inf luence and techniques

Long before the paddle enters the water,

each kayak begins with a pen stroke. The

product of inspiration and experience,

Current Designs develops and refines each

model through collaborations with some of

the sport’s most celebrated designers and

craftsmen. These partnerships have become

one of the hallmarks of the brand – and

continue to shape its future.

Beginning with the flagship Solstice line,

visionary designers have left their mark

on the Current Design fleet, while inspiring

an entire generation of paddlers. Such was

the case when legendary British kayaker

Derek Hutchinson teamed with Current

Designs to produce breakthrough models

like the iconic Gulfstream. More team-ups

would soon follow.

New England-based kayak designer Barry

Buchanan partnered with us on the famous

hard chine kayak, the Caribou. And later, Nigel

Foster and CD brought the Greenland-styled

Rumor to the world’s waters. The newest

global collaboration can be seen in the Prana

and Sisu models, ushering in our Danish

collection of kayaks. Celebrated Danish

kayak designer Jesper Kromann-Andersen

has worked with our team to marry classic

hull design with innovative twists for an

utra-stylish, remarkably versatile experience

on the water.

Current Designs continues to find inspiration

in distant waters, in a never-ending expedition

to bring the most beautiful, rugged and

dependable boats to paddlers and outfitters

across the globe.

L E N G T H A longer boat will track straighter, glide further and travel faster, making it more efficient. Length also adds to stability and capacity. A shorter boat is easier to handle and can be more maneuverable.

D E P T H Depth is a key component of a good fit. A deeper hull will be roomier for paddlers with larger legs, and increases load carrying ability. A shallower hull will be less affected by wind, and may better fit small paddlers.

Soft Chine A smooth transition from the bottom of the hull to the sides. Soft chines give smooth edging at unlimited angles. The majority of kayaks that we build have a soft chine.

Hard Chine A hard chine kayak has a well-defined edge where the hull bottom meets the sides. This increases the initial stability greatly. Hard chines give defined edging angles and assist in holding an edge.

H U L L S H A P E We design hull shapes for the ideal combination of tracking, efficiency, agility and seaworthiness based on the kayaks intended use. Many hulls are fairly complex and have different shapes blended together.

Shallow Arch These have good initial stability and are highly maneuverable.

Shallow “V” The “V” shape improves tracking, has a lively feel and delivers very comfortable stability.

W I D T H A wider kayak will be more stable than a narrow one. Conversely, a narrow kayak is usually more efficient than a wide one. A wider kayak may provide more stability for both heavier paddlers and tall paddlers with a higher center of gravity. A wider kayak will also enable a paddler to spread their legs out more.

R O C K E R The degree of curvature in the hull from bow to stern defines the rocker. More rocker improves the ability to maneuver the kayak, especially in rough water. A kayak with little or no rocker will track very well and travel efficiently, but may be more difficult to maneuver. We carefully control the kayak's rocker to deliver the right combination of maneuverability, speed and seaworthiness appropriate for it's intended use.

F O R M

Swede Form: Widest behind the cockpit, Swede form has a cleaner, longer and more slender entry, giving efficient touring speeds and maneuverability. In shorter lengths these kayaks are very responsive. Longer kayaks with this feature have amazing acceleration and track well. Because of the narrow bow they may punch through a steep wave, rather than ride over it.

Fish Form: Widest ahead of the cockpit, Fish form kayaks have a more blunt entry but will have a more slender exit through the water. The bows typically have more flare and are usually more buoyant than others. This enables our shorter boats to be excellent surf zone kayaks. Longer kayaks benefit from this feature in large seas.

Open Cockpit: The Solara's feature our largest open cockpits. These are very easy to get in and out of, and give a feeling of being almost completely free from the boat. Open cockpits have enough space to put gear between your legs for easy access.

Keyhole Cockpit: A keyhole cockpit blends the openness of a recreational cockpit and the integrated thigh braces of a touring cockpit. The result is a cockpit that’s easy to enter and exit, while offering performance, fit and solid connectivity to the kayak.

Touring Cockpit: Touring cockpits are generally smaller and snug fitting to help resist imploding of the spray skirt if hit by a large wave in rough water. They include built-in thigh braces on the cockpit rim to maximize control when edging and rolling. They range from 29" to 35" long, depending on the model.

Recreational Cockpit: The Kestrels feature recreational cockpits that are long enough so you can simply get in and sit down. They are unrestrictive and many new paddlers appreciate their roominess and versatility.

Maneuverability: how easily the boat will turn.

pair of jeans, a kayak that fits right will provide you with the comfort and control you desire. We list maximum

load weights for each of our models, but don't publish recommended paddler sizes due to differences in physical

proportions and paddling experience. The best way to find a kayak that fits you right is to get in and try it.

Our composite hybrid kayaks are made from fiberglass,

polyaramid and 3-D non-woven materials laminated together.

These kayaks are stiff, lightweight and durable for all but

severe conditions and are very price conscious.

Rotational molding (rotomolding) uses a high temperature oven to melt polyethylene powder in a large rotating

metal mold. This process produces a complete kayak hull and deck in a single step. Our rotomolded polyethylene

models offer paddlers the ability to enjoy many of the unique benefits of our designs at an economical price.

C O M P O S I T E K A Y A K S

Originally developed by the aerospace industry to manufacture strong, ultra-light components, our

composite lamination uses a high-pressure vacuum to eliminate any excess resin, which improves

strength and decreases weight. We also utilize 3-D non-woven core materials in specific places

to reinforce and strengthen areas without adding any substantial weight. This hands-on

labor-intensive process results in lightweight, extraordinarily tough kayaks with an exquisite finish.

All Current Designs composite kayaks have composite seams joining the deck and hull.

This stronger and lighter technique of seaming was formerly available for an additional charge.

Now, composite seams are our standard of excellence on all composite kayaks.

R O T O M O L D K A Y A K S

P O L Y E T H Y L E N E

We’ve taken rotomolding to the next level with our own high-tech process controls to produce the lightest possible rotomolded

kayaks. We use only linear high density polyethylene in all of our rotomolded models to maximize stiffness without sacrificing

impact strength. Our polyethylene maintains its integrity over a broad temperature range and has added stabilizers giving

it increased protection from harmful ultraviolet rays and oxidation. Our rotomolded kayaks are affordable, ultra tough, highly

durable and will hold up to more significant abuse compared to composite constructions.

Our vacuum-bagged fiberglass layup is a notch above

most other fiberglass kayaks on the market. The result is

a superbly crafted composite kayak that’s impeccably

finished inside and out. Fiberglass is the standard layup

for our Performance Touring models.

We use genuine Dupont Kevlar® in our kayaks. You’ll notice

the lightness of our Kevlar kayaks the first time you pick one

up. You’ll also appreciate its easy lift on and off the car and

its intimate responsiveness on the water. Kevlar is an optional

layup for our Performance Touring models.
