Advantages
One of the main beneficial features that the Neris folding 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 part of the storage being within the open cockpit space. EG - 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 utilised as an extra seating position for a small child or dog.

Neris Valkure-2 550 double seater kayak being used as a single seater - simply position a seat in the centre of the boat and use a solo paddler version spray-deck cover!

2019

Considering entering in this prestige 127 mile non-stop DW race in the Folding Boat Class next Easter weekend 2019?

Look no further - the Neris Valkure-2 is the best and the most competitive folding kayak there is.

Ex and current serving members of the UK armed forces who have tried this boat have all commented that the Neris Valkure-2 kayak is definately faster and lighter than the well known German made folding kayak that they have been using in the past
