HV Aquanaut by Valley Sea Kayaks, 2009. The newly re-designed cockpit for the Valley Sea Kayaks’ HV Aquanaut in composite construction is stellar for taller paddlers. Excellent Valley construction, new 2009 seat arrangement, and great packing space in easy to access oval hatches. Expeditions and day trips will take on a new shine in this fabulous ride. Easy to operate, and new in 2009, skeg deployment system makes this boat the perfect tripper for stronger paddlers with a larger frame. Very user-friendly. Larger cockpit allows for very easy re-entries and launching from a floating location. East to sit first and then fold the legs in. Great re-tune on a tested hull design, very well executed.
It’s the enlarged cockpit that allows larger paddlers enjoy the sleek 17′10″X22″ hull with easy launching, landing and self-rescue options. This glass layup has a rugged construction without being “heavy”. 
Lots of dry storage in the larger compartments of the HV Aquanaut from Valley; smaller bear-proof food staorage containers fit in either the cockpit in front of the feet, or in the stern compartment.
Even loaded for a trip with a larger paddler, still has a dry ride and plenty of free-board.
High quality finish of all Valley Sea Kayaks ….. you must enjoy the ride, demo a Valley today. Many other models to choose from …. Aquanaut, Nordkapp, and more. see www.valleyseakayaks.com.
