Prana – Danish Style – Performance Touring Kayak.
Danish Style / Prana
A collaborative effort between Danish designer Jesper Kromann-Andersen and Current Designs award-winning team, the new Prana touring kayak is as much at home in surf and rock gardening as it is to crossing a mirror-like bay. Available in fiberglass and Kevlar layups, the Prana is a quick and highly maneuverable kayak, with an efficient shape that chews through the miles. The hull is more stable than its svelte 21 inch beam would lead you to expect., while a hybrid hard chine and tracking-friendly rocker profile makes this 17 foot touring kayak perfect for all conditions. The Prana is 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.

Design Features
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.
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.

Learn How to Choose a Kayak
| 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. | ||||||||
| Danish Style Stylish, snug-fitting hybrid of Greenland and North American hulls with Danish style. | ||||||||
