Acadia Expedition

The remodelled Acadia perfectly compliments day touring options as a single hatch, relaxed, easy going day tourer. This smooth flowing kayak is quick and holds a true course thanks to the tracking channel and pronounced keel line combination. Whilst maintaining excellent stability and agility the Acadia is longer and therefore quicker across the water than the smaller Sierra.
