THUNDERBOLT X

Thunderbolt-X

Created by modifying the underwater sections of the standard Thunderbolt, this all weather, all season, marathon racing kayak is faster yet. A narrowing and sharpening of the front section of the hull, reduces entry drag and bow wave size resulting in improved glide and less resistance. Add this up and you drop 6-8 seconds per mile over the standard Thunderbolt at 7-9 miles per hour, in calm water.

- A narrowing and sharpening from the bow entry to 3 feet back reduces entry drag and bow wave size

- Improved glide and less resistance (like removing a clump of weeds from your bow at 7-9 miles per hour)

- A drop of 6-8 seconds per mile over the standard Thunderbolt at 7-9 miles per hour, in calm water.

And all the features of the standard Thunderbolt:

- Lightweight at 26 lbs. (Competition Build)
- Proper length-wetted surface ratio results in no stern wake
- Long, flared bow for a dry ride in the chop and surfing rollers.
- Ergonomic paddling position focuses energy in the forward stroke.
- Precise tiller steering for split-second course alignment.
- Hung seat for a low center of gravity—hip control
- Leg Straps for efficient energy transfer and rock-solid control
- Rollable

The Thunderbolt X is suitable for moving water—lakes—moderate rough water.
