Let's face it, Impex is a sea kayak company.
We weren't going to stray far from our
roots. The Irie offers a class of kayak we
call, "Sea- Rec." Stability is the key here,
and at 24" wide it gives paddlers of any
ability a comfortable ride. The shallow V
hull and tapered bow gives the Irie the same
smooth ride as our more performance oriented
sea kayaks. Even with the standard rudder
for easy maneuvering, the Irie weighs in at
a mere 40lbs. Comfort and support are
provided by the "High Riser" back band by
Immersion Research. For the paddler not
concerned by performance this back band will
certainly give the best option in comfort
and support. For the ultimate in light
weight and simplicity we offer the
Irie Basic. Offering the same great
comfort and paddling ability, the
Irie Basic just leaves the rudder
behind - saving a few valuable pounds and
leaving a few dollars behind to enjoy the
laid back vibe. Have an Irie day.
Hull Design
- Shallow V. The shallow V hull is standard in all
Impex Kayaks and it is this design that allows for the
greater primary stability in our kayaks. We have found
an excellent compromise between stability and
performance that allows our kayaks to appeal to all ends
of the ability spectrum.
- Chine - using a multi hard chine we pick up the
stability we lose by giving the Irie a shallow V in the
hull. Everyone knows the most stable of boats, like a
Jon Boat, use flat hulls. The problem there is that we
donšt intend on putting a motor behind our kayak to
propel it, we plan on doing that with a paddle. The
Shallow V gives a kayak the best stability while
maintaining efficient paddling, let is still not as
stable as a flat bottom. By adding the stability of the
multi chine we now have a great combination of stability
and efficient paddling.
