The Stellar S15 Sea Kayak is designed for small to medium sized paddlers for touring & fitness paddling. With long water lines and a soft chine at the hull, a moderate concavity along the keel of the bow and stern helps with tracking in rough conditions. For windy days and following seas, a drop-down rudder off the stern will help keep your course. Higher decks allow for a dryer paddle in rough conditions and a large stern and medium bow compartment provide ample storage for your longer tours
