The Iguana - the Ultimate Adventure Kayak
Takes apart for easy storage and transportation

The Iguana is the "Ultimate Adventure Kayak" because the take-apart feature makes it perfect for transporting to remote locations by sea-plane, helicopter or utility!
The take-apart feature also allows the "Everyday Adventurer" to escape the "Concrete Jungle" and explore our beautiful local waterways in a full length sea kayak that can easily be stored in the corner of any office or even a 1 bedroom apartment!
Large hatches in the front and rear pods allow access to extensive storage areas, and the higher-than-standard front deck makes the Iguana extra roomy for larger paddlers.
The extra couple of centimetres of with means that novices will find the Iguana to be very, very stable. Heavier paddlers will notice that they float higher on the water because of the extra buoyancy that this width provides and as a result, will find it easier to keep up with longer (and usually faster) kayaks.
The Iguana tracks really well in a straight line without having to use the traditional drop-over rudder and is surprisingly quick for a sea kayak less than 5 metres in length. It is an exceptional performer in the surf where the multi-chined hull makes riding waves an absolute buzz.
Whether you are into extreme adventure or simply enjoy exploring your local waterways, the Iguana is the perfect choice! It allows you to enjoy the benefits of paddling a full length sea kayak, whilst being able to take the kayak apart for easy transport and storage.
