KAPE Hunter 510

All-rounder touring sea kayak

Our most popular all-rounder touring sea kayak for a wide range of paddler skills and waters. Predictable, straight tracking and easy to handle, still with lots of playfulness.

A traditional Danish style sea kayak with impressive rocker, great maneuverability, good tracking and incredible secondary stability that makes it absolutely suitable for paddlers of all abilities and under all conditions.

Gentle chine hull gives a stable, maneuverable and forgiving platform for the beginner paddler, but it will continue to deliver satisfaction and performance as skills are improved and paddlers are ready to edge and carve in turns. Also the low rear deck allows for a good layback when rolling.

The Hunter 510 is a good choice just to hop in and paddle off for a few hours, but it is really designed, manufactured and equipped for multi day coastal expeditions. For this it has two hatches and there’s plenty of storage space even for bigger excursions.

Features & fittings

Ergo seat

The boat is equipped with a comfortable seat.

Backrest

Alapfelszereltségként kényelmes, jó támasztást biztosító, merev, párnázott háttámasszal szereljük a hajót.

Választható a hevederrel rögzített, habszivacs háttámasz-változat is, mely szabadabb mozgást biztosít a törzsnek. Ez élezéskor vagy eszkimózásál praktikus.

SmartTrack rudder & pedal

A hajó alapfelszereltsége a "SmartTrack" farkormány. A farkormány "felbillenő", illetve a beülő mellett elhelyezett zsinór segítségével vízszintes helyzetbe felhúzva rögzíthető.

A kormányzás alapfelszereltség szerint kétoldali "SmartTrack" kormánypedállal, a lábfejünk segítségével történik. Ennek távolsága nagy tartományban, a hajóban ülve is állítható. Ez a pedáltípus a hajó belső oldalfalaira rögzített, így szűk terpeszben, a térdünket a beülő alján megtámasztva tudunk kényelmesen kajakozni. Pihenéskor lábunkat összezárva kinyújhatjuk azt.

Available with a retractable skeg

A high quality retractable skeg is available to chose instead of (or together with) rudder. It increases the tracking efficiency of the boat and helps it to resist weathercocking (turning into the wind) in a crosswinds

Compartments, hatches & deckfittings

    A hajó elülső és hátsó tárolórekesszel rendelkezik, amiket jól záró deklik fednek. Ezekben akár több napos túrázásokhoz szükséges felszerelést is magunkkal vihetünk, ami egyenletesen elosztható a hajóban. A típus nem rendelkezik "napi" tárolóval.

    A kajak deck része gumikötélzettel jól felszerelt, amik a deckbe süllyesztett kötélvezetőkön haladnak át. A kajak elején és hátulján a könnyű szállítást segítő fogantyúk találhatók.

    CONSTRUCTIONS
    To let us meet the preferences of a wide range of paddlers we offer multiple constructions to choose from. These constructions are set up in line with the requirements of each segment of the recreational market - from rentals, clubs & hobbyists to expedition paddlers - while providing the most favourable quality and price conditions for that specific group of users.

    More about constructions

    Constructions differ in the materials and technologies used during the manufacturing process. These determine the stiffness, the weight and the interior appearance of the boat. In practice, an upper construction results a stiffer, more lightweight & spectacular boat, but it requires more caution during use

    Besides, the standard and available fittings may be also different in some constructions. These are listed at the "Fittings" section of this article.

    Tips & more about the available colours


    Think carefully about choosing black and dark colours!

    Such boats warm up more & they become matt very soon. Scratches and limescale are also much more visible on these surfaces.

    Less is more:

    We recommend picking only two, maximum three colours for a coherent boat design.

    More is more:

    (Because of the overlapping gelcoat layers) more colours results in more weight.


    Availability of clear (transparent) surfaces:

    Clear carbon seat & cockpit rim are available in EXTRA & ULTRA constructions.

    Clear carbon hull is available in EXTRA & ULTRA constructions.
    (Bow & stern of the clear carbon boat are black gradient)

    Clear carbon-kevlar hull is available in SUPER construction.
    (Bow & stern of the clear carbon-kevlar boat hulls are colored)


    RAL colors CANNOT be displayed entirely proper on computer screens. The color depends on your monitor and printer. Therefore the exact shade of the product may be different than seen here! Please use these color samples as a reference only! We recommend you to see a physical and official RAL color guide to be sure of the correct color.
