A collaborative effort between Danish designer Jesper Kromann-Andersen and Current Designs award-winning team, the new Prana 17′ kayak is designed for quick and efficient touring without sacrificing maneuverability and playfulness. The hull is more stable than its svelte 21 inch beam would lead you to expect, making it a surprisingly beginner-friendly kayak that leaves so much room for growth you’ll never grow out of it. A hybrid hard chine and tracking-friendly rocker profile makes this 17 foot touring kayak perfect for all conditions. The low aft deck making self recovery safe and effective, while the roomier foredeck gives more height for your knees, making extended days of paddling much more comfortable. Available in fiberglass and Kevlar layups, the Prana comes standard with both fore and aft day hatches, fore and aft large hatches and a full accompaniment of safety and comfort. Also available in a LV (low-volume) version.
Approximate Fit:
The Prana is best suited for paddlers 5′ 11″ to 6′ 5″, 180-230 lbs
The Prana LV is best suited for paddlers up to 5′ 11″, 130-180 lbs
Maximum Load: 375 lbs.
Fiberglass – 52 lbs.
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.
Shallow V: The “V” shape improves tracking, has a lively feel and delivers very comfortable stability.
Touring Cockpit: Touring cockpits are somewhat small 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.

| Kayak Category | Shape | Type of Water | Stability | Fit | ||||
| Recreational - Sit Inside | Short and Wide, 10'-14' | Small Lakes and Shallow Rivers | Good | Comfortable; sizeable | ||||
| This is the most popular style in our area. Stable, maneuverable, user-friendly and have easy entry cockpits that fit almost anyone comfortably. Designed for first time paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts who like to combine their on-water pleasures with other pursuits such as bird watching, fishing and photography. | ||||||||
| Recreational - Sit-On-Top | Short and Wide, 10'-13' | Smaller Lakes | Good | Comfortable; sizeable | ||||
| Sit on tops are very stable, easy to get in and out of and there is no feeling of confinement. They're also self-bailing, which means they have small holes (called "scupper holes") that allow the water to drain right through them. You do drip water on your legs as you paddle. These are most popular in warm water climates. | ||||||||
| Transitional | Narrower, 12'-14' | Bigger Lakes and Moving Water | 3-4 | Medium Size | ||||
| Transitional Kayaks bridge the gap between Recreational and Touring categories, combining the best elements from both. Like Recreational designs, they are short and somewhat wide. They favor stability on calm waters and easy turning over speed. White the cockpits are a bit smaller than Recreational cockpits, they are still quite roomy for easy access. | ||||||||
| Performance Touring | Long and Slender | All Water | 2-3 | Fully Connected | ||||
| Performance Designs are good for all distances, expeditions and skill mastery. | ||||||||
| North American Style If you want a stable kayak with some serious capacity, a seat back and a rudder. | ||||||||
| British Style If you want a snug-fitting, playful kayak with smooth edging, graceful lines, a day hatch, a back band and a skeg. | ||||||||
| Greenland Style If you want a tight-fitting, hard-edging kayak with an old school look, serious rolling ability, a back band and a skeg. | ||||||||
