Why do FirstLight kayaks have such distinctive bow and stern profile?
Our kayaks have very square bow and stern profiles. The bow and stern do not slope back like the traditional kayak. Our aim is to achieve maximum waterline because the physics of water displacement and hydrodynamics dictates that, the longer the waterline, the faster the boat. Because the ends of the boat are light, there is no difficulty riding waves and surfing. Because the boat is light and the waterline is long, the boat behaves like a longer folding kayak.
