The Nigel Dennis Kayaks (NDK) Explorer is the large expedition version of the NDK Romany 16. It has similar design attributes of its shorter cousin, but higher hull speed and more cargo room for expedition-minded paddlers. This kayak with a long waterline fills the niche for a sleek, yet stable expedition kayak. It carves turns gracefully. Its high volume bow stops the kayak from plunging into waves and together with its maneuverability gives a paddler good control in surf. The keyhole cockpit with thigh braces allows for easy handling. The Explorer is not designed to be the fastest expedition kayak, but a more user-friendly kayak.
