Tiderace - Vortex Plastic

Like its cousin the Xtra, the Vortex is an excellent design for rock-hopping, surfing and tidal play – the polyethylene construction is ideal for newcomers to sea kayaking or those looking to take their kayak into rock gardens or surf. Generous width gives the Vortex a high initial and secondary stability – this inspires confidence in less experienced paddlers who wish to improve their skills. The Vortex has a high cruising speed for a “play the sea” kayak, easily keeping up with the group on day trips. Add the Vortex to your quiver of Tiderace boats for a performance playboat for you and a stable, well-mannered sea kayak you can put your friends in!

The polyethylene construction (now 50% from recycled sources)  makes it extremely durable and wear resistant, making it an ideal choice for rental or schools. No maintenance or repairs needed, meaning lower costs and greater availability.

 All Vortex kayaks come with Kajak Sport rubber hatches.
