RecQuatics Superior Whitewater Kayak

The RecQuatics Superior Whitewater Kayak is built for paddlers who demand versatility, stability, and performance in all water conditions. Whether you're cruising flatwater lakes or navigating challenging whitewater, the Katana delivers a smooth, confidence-inspiring ride with its balanced rocker profile—ensuring both speed on calm waters and maneuverability in rapids.

Designed for stability and control, the beveled and flared sidewalls enhance secondary stability, while the rounded stern deck, inspired by the Mamba, efficiently sheds water for a forgiving experience in moving currents. The drop skeg provides extra tracking and stability on flatwater, making it a true hybrid kayak.

For longer adventures, the reinforced hatches and removable bow bulkhead provide ample gear storage, while the spacious cockpit offers a more relaxed, less confining feel compared to traditional whitewater kayaks.
