Swift Kiwassa 12.6LT

A Lightweight Touring Kayak With Long Cockpit

The Swift Kiwassa 12.6LT is a brilliantly lightweight touring kayak that not only looks superb but delivers performance on the water. Designed for smaller paddlers looking to day trip or even get in the odd overnight trip, marrying a high performance mid-range length with functionality and ease of use. The slightly longer cockpit makes it far easier for paddlers to get in and out of with no restrictions from thigh braces encroaching into the cockpit area.

The cockpit rim is fitted as standard with comfortable side pads allowing the paddler to brace themselves against the cockpit rim to really drive along the Kiwassa 12.6LT.  The carbon seat base keeps the overall weight of the Kiwassa 12.6LT right down and is then outfitted with medical grade foam to ensure top comfort when on the water paddling. The high backed adjustable seat back rest has a velcro adjustable lumbar cushion as well as a seating strap that runs through the back rest to allow the seat to flex and move in the right areas as not to inhibit a kayak paddle stroke. The foot rests are easy to adjust giving the paddler the correct amount of bracing to get the most out of the performance the Kiwassa can offer. 

This Swift Kiwassa 12.6LT crosses between a recreational & performance touring kayak giving paddlers the option to have a relaxed recreation paddle or if they want to really press on the Kiwassa can do this too. The Kiwassa 12.6LT is great for those who are wanting to paddle distances with the need to portage as the lightweight nature of this kayak makes moving it around on and off the water easy. 

The Swift Canoes Kiwassa 12.6 LT is not a standard UK stock lightweight kayak, normally being ordered in to specific orders. This is actually a great option for most paddlers looking at the Kiwassa as it allows for a custom spec 'Dream Kayak' built to their exact spec.

Swift offer many different laminate constructions in their canoes and kayaks, Kevlar Fusion & Carbon Fusion are the most popular in kayaks. 

Please Note: Custom option lightweight Swift Kayaks generally have a longer lead time and it is best to Contact Us to enquire about spec, price and current lead times. For more UK stock options check out the Swift Canoes Range.
