Expedition 2 - 5.15m Sit-In Touring Kayak

- Lightweight and Durable for Long Distance Adventures -

ComfortFlex Seating System

 

3-Layer Sandwich Core Construction

Our signature 3-layer foam core blends HDPE with a foam core, providing greater strength whilst allowing us to reduce the kayaks weight.
 

 

SmartTrack™ Hybrid Foil Retractable Rudder System

SmartTrack Foil Blade is an application of the same design principle used on airplanes and the hulls of America’s Cup sailboats. Water moves across the Foil Blade surface with minimum turbulence. Plus it retracts to lay parallel with the hull for transport and includes a bungee secure latch.

Key Features  

• The Expedition 2 sit-in is the fastest and ultimate touring kayak of the Bay Sports family of sea kayaks. 
• It was built for multi-day adventures, speed and capable of long distance paddling.
• Compared to it's younger sibling the Expedition 1, it adds an extra 13 cm of length + an extra watertight storage compartment conveniently located directly in front of the cockpit, making this sea kayak the ultimate expedition tourer for weekend getaways and exploring. 

Design & Construction

• Designed by renowned Swedish kayak designer Björn Thomasson, the Expedition 2 is the longer, faster brother to the Expedition 1, made for adventures great and far.
• An extra 13cm of length and 4cm of width gives the Expedition 2 its position as a true expedition kayak.
• It is made with our signature 3-Layer foam core, sandwiched between high-grade UV16 stabilised HDPE, make this kayak lighter and stronger than regular polyethylene construction alone.
• A V-shaped hull with hard chine, and little rocker, easily cuts through water whilst deep grooved hull lines provide for excellent tracking.
• The streamlined shape of this kayak is the basis for its speed and steadiness, and with our premium foot-controlled rudder system, makes for easy manoeuvrability even with cross winds or stronger ocean currents. 

Build Quality

The build quality is the best in class, with no traces of air bubbles inside the UV stabilised plastic walls, meaning your kayak is superior in durability and won't crack like brittle plastic kayaks prone to air bubbles, due to poor quality control.

Every single Expedition kayak is tested to ensure 3.5mm thickness, drop tested to ensure perfect plastic bond, balance tested for optimal stability, and water tested to ensure perfect seals. So rest assured your kayak will last for years to come.
