The New 2009 W Kayak Models Are Here
We’ve started shipping the new 2009 W Kayak models.
Customers who got the 2008 models were very pleased with the lower and sturdier spray deflector, as well as with the new side flotation, handles and other accessories. This is why it was hard for us to think of new improvements. Eventually, we did come up with such an improvement, although it’s not a major one by any standard:
The new 09′ W Kayak models have more holes in the upper part of their cockpit rim (6 actually). This feature speeds drainage when you overturn the boat after beaching it - All spray and rain water that may have drained down to the bottom of the hulls is drained out within seconds.
An additional benefit from these extra holes is the fact they serve as more attachment points for all the equipment you need to secure to your W Kayak - Whether it’s fishing tackle, or camping and photography gear.

The W is by far the best personal fishing boat out there - Keep up the good work!

Wouldn’t such holes compromise the spray deflector’s strength and rigidity?

Not a bit - We ran extensive tests and found that the redesigned cockpit rim is so sturdy that in fact you can drill holes in it in addition to the ones that come with the boat without affecting its rigidity or its strength.
