Are SMART's / SMART PRO'S
100% inflatable kayaks?
No, they are not!

The SMART's are hybrid folding kayaks with oversized "external" sponsons whilst still having a skeletal frame. Some folding kayaks have sponsons which are actually internal and hence are not readily visible. This article explains a bit more about the structural differences between the different folding kayak types and the disadvantages of 100% inflatable kayaks

Folding kayaks

Long shoulder bag and backpack bag for double and triple seater ALU & Valkure folding kayaks

Alu-1, Alu-2 and all SMARTS have one large backpack


The most versatile craft ever - from backpack to water in 15-25 minutes
(SMART Series - average 8 min)

Store packed kayak bag/s in a cupboard at home, or in the boot of the car, motor home or caravan. Also easily travel to your starting location by train or coach, and paddle to another location and return home via a different train / coach.

Simply assemble without tools by the waterside and then off you paddle!


Advantages
One of the main beneficial features that the Neris kayaks have, that differs to most other branded touring folding kayaks, is that NERIS boats have long open cockpits with shorter front / rear decks. This design allows for easy access to stowed kit, with most of the storage being within the open cockpit space.

For example - The open cockpit storage space in double / triple seater kayaks is a space in front of the rear paddler. On single seater kayaks, the main cockpit storage space is behind the paddler's seat.

Spray deck covers are available with loading hatches to access the cockpit storage spaces.

The central storage space can be utilized as an extra seating position for a small child or dog. No modifications needed for extra seats

The Neris Valkure-2 folding kayak is an exception - this model has the traditional kayak of long decks and no storage space between the two seats
