Introducing the Q-Kayaks Swift
The Swift is an easy handling and stable sit-on-top kayak, with a hull shape similar to that of a sit-in kayak to give it greater speed. In fact, the hull shape is nearly the same as the Tui, a very popular kayak produced by Q-Kayaks.
At a price of $1295.00 with hatches and rudder, it is heaps easier on the hip pocket than the sit in style kayaks that run about $450.00 - $600.00 more for the same hull type and performance!
