Description

This is one of the best inflatable kayaks you can find! It can be used comfortably with one or two people. This is the same type of kayak that is used for search and rescue by the Canadian Ranger Kayak Patrol. It is also the only inflatable that entered the 1997, 40mile, San Juan challenge. This is the perfect kayak for cruising along the shoreline or for taking your kids fishing in the backwoods.

Used for search and rescue by the Canadian Ranger Kayak Patrol on the west coast of Vancouver Island, the Helios is both versatile and rugged. A Helios won the predicted log section of the ‘97 San Juan Challenge, averaging 3 knots over the 40-mile course in winds gusting to 45 knots. This compact kayak can be paddled either as a single or a double. It comes in its own deluxe drybag/backpack and fits under an airline seat. Set up in less than 10 minutes. Explore moderate whitewater rivers, paddle the Helios along ocean shorelines as a sea touring kayak, or fish the backcountry. The Helios is available in two lengths. A foot-operated rudder can be purchased for precise control when the Helios is used as a sea touring kayak.

What is Nitrylon™ fabric, and is it better than PVC?


Nitrylon™ is a lamination of nitrile synthetic rubber and natural rubber over a 1,200-denier, low stretch polyester fabric. Nitrylon™ is very puncture and abrasion resistant. It is considerably stronger, easier to patch, performs better in cold weather, and is much more abrasion resistant than PVC. It also does not have the environmental problems associated with the manufacture and ultimate disposal of PVC products.
