Nordic Kayak's intention with the Double 670 was for a skilled paddler to be able to provide any beginner with the opportunity to experinece downwind paddling. The 670 comes standard with double steering so you can choose to steer either from front or back, or both the same time, which actually works surprisingly well. The shorter hull length combined with a lot of rocker ensures for an extremely manoeuvrabilityand responsive double ski.
 
The cockpits were developed with many years of experience, with a perfectly shaped seat and ergonomics that allow effective leg drive. Beverage bottle holder under the knees for quick access to the NK drinking bottle (standard equipment).
 
The deBrito self-bailer (bilge flap) is the most effective on the market and can be easily operated with the foot. We have revised the paddle insert edges in this second version so that a relatively narrow paddle insert is also possible in the rear cockpit.
 
The construction process- all NK skis are now made with autoclave and prepreg technique, a process often reserved for the aerospace industry and F1 cars. The high pressure (up to 4 x atmospheric pressure) and heat from the autoclave ensure the pre-impregnated fibres bond perfectly with the composite core creating a extra ordinary light but strong construction. This process is far superior to other techniques normally used for kayaks such as vacuum infusion or other hand lay up processes.
 
Some of the benefits of carbon fibre prepreg autoclaved composites are:
zero voids - reduce possibility of delaminations and air bubble related issues
improved ability to conform cores and fabrics to tight curvatures in-mold; again less chance of voids and weak spots
excellent fatigue resistance
controlled laminate thickness
 
In short our skis are lighter, stiffer and stronger than ever. With a polyurethane painted seamless finish to match, the line between sports equipment and a work of art may have been crossed. This double ski has been manufactured at under 13kg in the CarbonX construction.
 
Nordic Kayaks Squall surfskis are available in these prepreg heat cured autoclave constructions:
CarbonX: Weight max 13.5 kg - 100% UD prepreg carbon construction. Clear carbon (UV exposure can harm epoxy, needs to be stored out of direct sunlight)
Extremely light yet rigid raw naked pre-preg UD-carbon construction, highest quality divinycell foam core, stringer throughout the hull for increased stiffness and strength.
Priority on lightweight construction, minimal cosmetic blemishes may occur.
CarbonLite: Weight max 15 kg - 100% UD prepreg carbon construction with a high quality foam core. Ice White, Dolphin Grey or Stealth Black (matte) 2 pack paint finish
Pre-preg UD-carbon construction with the highest quality divinycell foam core. Reinforced with stringer for increased stiffness and strength. Fully painted body.
Light and stiff.
CarbonComp: Weight max 18.5 kg - Composite combination of UD prepreg carbon and UD fibreglass with a high quality foam core. Ice White 2 pack paint finish
Pre-preg UD-carbon mixed with fiberglass with the highest quality divinycell foam core. Reinforced with stringer for increased stiffness and strength. Fully painted body.
Robust and stiff.
