Transitional Kayak / Vision 120 SP
The Vision 120SP is the perfect kayak for smaller paddlers who place a premium on weight and safety. This fun paddling 12′ boat weighs in at a jaw dropping 32 lbs making the Vision 120SP super easy to car-top and portage to the water’s edge. Outfitting includes two composite bulkheads and hatches, a user friendly keyhole cockpit, and light weight fixed seating. All members of the Vision family have a generously sized keyhole cockpit that allows for easy entry and exit, as well as ample foot room and large storage capacity. They also feature lower faceted decks that have minimal wind exposure making for an enjoyable in-control paddling experience. These features coupled with the confidence inspiring 23” beam allow the Vision 120 SP paddler to experience a true kayak fit and feel while developing a myriad of skills at their own pace. The Vision 120 SP is constructed from a vacuum bagged composite hybrid material, which allows for an unsurpassed combination of light weight, stiffness, toughness and value.

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

Keyhole Cockpit: A keyhole cockpit blends the openness of a recreational cockpit and the integrated thigh braces of a touring cockpit. The result is an easy to enter and exit cockpit that offers performance, fit, and solid connectivity to the 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. | ||||||||
Specialty Kayaks | ||||||||
Boats made for unique situations and unique goals. |
