The AIRROW is a hybrid kayak, half sup fboard, half kayak with measurements belonging to a 17’ Surfski.
This innovative design is very fast and, thanks to a smart rudder system, is easy to steer.
Sit on top designs are becoming more and more popular due to their ease of paddling and they offer an alternative for paddlers who do not like sitting in a kayak.

The Airrow is made out of revolutionary material – Dropstitch.  This material contains thousands of polyester threads which keep the deck and bottom of the Surfski parallel.  This construction is very durable and has been used in hundred thousands of SUP boards.
