The 3-Piece System

How it works:
  • Kayak splits into bow, cockpit, and stern sections
  • Stainless steel clamping system locks sections together
  • Assembly takes ~5 minutes
  • Watertight seals at each joint
Proven reliability: SKUK's original bolted system wasn't robust enough. After rigorous Antarctic testing, they developed the current clamping system. It's now been used on expeditions worldwide without failure.

Construction Options

Layup Weight Best For
Standard Composite ~23kg Durability and value
