Omschrijving
OPGELET: model heeft geen storage match achteraan zoals op foto!
The Spirit 51 is a popular fitness model made in one size. It has the perfect balance between smooth glide, relative stability and has a steep front deck design that allows a close, efficient catch at the start of every stroke. These together can give a sporty feeling of kayaking even for intermediate paddlers. Though basically it is for flat water kayaking, because of its tall bow it also performs well in choppy conditions and rivers.
However at first sight many experienced paddlers may consider 51 cm too wide for a fitness kayak, we highly recommend them to take a closer look, starting with the hull: The cross-section of bow is almost as V-shaped as of a racing kayak's. It widens and flattens just right behind the cockpit section providing just enough stability without making the whole hull bellied therefore sluggish.
The second appreciative look should go on to the front deck. In order to allow efficient close paddle strokes without aggressive cutaways on the deck, it was designed unusually steep with a definite peek. By this we've got the desired slimness to let you use high angle paddling technique.
The peek of a front deck leads straight into the taller-than-avarage bow that lets the Spirit 51 to cut through choppy water.

Available constructions
Our boats are available in different construction levels in order to meet each customer's preferences. These have been set up to be in line with the requirements of each segment of the market - from hobbyists & clubs to top athletes - while providing the most favourable quality and price conditions for that specific group of users.
The following constructions differ in the raw materials and technologies applied during the manufacturing process. These together determine the hardness, the weight (for non-weight regulated models) and the overall interior look of the boat. In practice, an upper construction results a harder, lighter and more spectacular boat.
Besides, the standard and availble fittings could be also different in case of many models. So we advise to have a look at the "Fittings" section of this article as well.
STANDARD A1 construction
- Materials: fiberglass / polyester resin
- Technology: hand lay-up
- Hardness: 5/10
- Weight: 10/10
- Description: Composite boats made by the traditional way: using only fiberglass and hand-lay up. The method is simple but effective, the result is a longlivety product that is easy to maintain and repair.
- Advised: Entry-level boats ideal for hobby & recreational use. This construction offers an economical solution for all those who consider paddling as a free time activity and looking for a reliable boat at a good price.
STANDARD+
- Materials: fiberglass + carbon-kevlar reinforcement on the middle part / polyester resin
- Technology: hand lay-up
- Hardness: 6/10
- Weight: 10/10
- Description: These boats are still made using fiberglass and hand-lay up, but an additional layer of carbon-kevlar is used on the middle - most intensively used - part of the boat. This provides some more stiffness and more pleasing interior look. Still this is easy to maintain and repair and still quite economical.
- Advised: It could be also a nice entry-level boat for hobby & recreational use, but many, more experienced paddlers also prefer this construction if they know, that the boat will be for heavier duty.
SUPER
- Materials: core material (Soric LRC - 2 mm) / carbon-kevlar reinforcement / vinyl ester resin
- Technology: vacuum bagging
- Hardness: 8/10
- Weight: 7/10
- Description: Our SUPER construction is a big leap in quality, lightness and aesthetics as well. The core material together with the high quality carbon-kevlar reinforcement and advanced manufacturing technology let us to reduce weight and improve stiffness at the same time.
- Advised: If you are looking for a harder, lighter and better looking boat and don't mind the little more care, then the SUPER construction is worth to consider for you.
EXTRA (hard)
- Materials: core material (Soric LRC - 2 mm) / UD carbon reinforcement / vinyl ester resin
- Technology: vacuum bagging
- Hardness: 9/10
- Weight:7/10
- Description: Our FITNESS/TOURING boats and SEA KAYAKS have two sub-constructions of "EXTRA". These are: "hard" and "light". Both are reinforced by carbon, but obviously one is fine-tuned to achieve more stiffness and the other is to reduce weight
- Advised: Considering the weight and hardness ratio, this sub-construction could be an excellent choice for paddlers with high expectations for the stiffness of their boat.
- EXTRA+: With minor modifications in layer design and using clear gelcoat, the carbon texture could appear on the outside surface of the hull and/or the deck of the boat. This results a cool & stylish look on the water.
EXTRA (light)
- Materials: core material (Soric LRC - 1.5 mm) / carbon reinforcement / vinyl ester resin
- Technology: vacuum bagging
- Hardness: 7/10
- Weight:5/10
- Description: Our FITNESS/TOURING boats and SEA KAYAKS have two sub-constructions of "EXTRA". These are: "hard" and "light". Just like in the previous construction, this one is also reinforced by carbon - however this time we use woven carbon material - but made using thinner core material.
- Advised: Considering the weight and hardness ratio, this sub-construction could be an excellent choice for paddlers with high expectations for the weight of their boat.
- EXTRA+: With minor modifications in layer design and using clear gel coat the carbon texture could appear on the outside surface of the hull and/or deck of the boat providing a stylish look on the water.
PREMIUM
- Materials: core material (2 mm) / double carbon reinforcement / vinyl ester resin
- Technology: vacuum infusion
- Hardness: 10/10
- Weight: 7/10
