Extra Fast Tourer (E.F.T)

The Extra Fast Tourer (E.F.T.), first introduced in 1995, is an innovative concept in touring kayak design. Now you can cruise, lightly loaded at 6-7.5 miles per hour with 8 mph possible with a well trained paddler. The E.F.T. has a long water line, narrow beam and low wetted surface area with a round bottom. This design allows the paddler to maintain fast cruising speeds due to the very low wave drag of the boat. The deeply flared bow keeps a dry ride. The paddling position is ergonomically correct to allow movement of the legs which facilitates upper body rotation. A hung seat allows a true kayak fit. Check out The 2005 Blackburn Challenge - Fast Touring Single Men to see the Extra Fast Tourer's impressive times.
