Custom options / selections

Below are some of the various options available to create your bespoke boat and accessories to match. It is important to choose the permanent features of the boat when ordering as these items cannot be changed once production on your boat has started.

Non-permanent items (EG - accessories) can usually be changed during production or be purchased at a later date.

Should you have a special need / request, that might not be covered below, do ask!


Kayak frames
There are two main types of skeletal frames used in the kayaks - Standard and Light. The Light version uses smaller diameter ALU tubing and is standard issue in the shortest kayaks - the Smart PRO XS and Smart MINI. This Light frame is also available on request with the Smart PRO S if opting to get the lighter TPU/PVC mix skin. (EG LIGHT version Smart PRO S)

The skeletal frame is standard in the silver / grey colour - an optional extra request is to have the frame Matt black powder coated.

The default skeletal frame as issued in the EU / UA regions does not have floor boards or floor slats. We in the UK recommend the addition of alu floor slats for ease of entry / exit (to have something to stand on) as well as being lighter than the floor boards. To keep the weight down, these floor slats / floor boards are only positioned directly in front of each seat position and they are fitted based on your kayak choice - EG solo, tandem or multi-role. We in the UK do have stocks of alu floor stats for easy retro-fitting should you need more.

Standard or lightweight build
The standard kayak / raft is made of durable PVC whereas the LIGHT versions are made with a lighter TPU/PVC mix skin.

LIGHT versions are special request boats and due to the higher cost of the TPU fabric, these boats do cost more, however, the boats do weigh a lot lighter by comparison to the standard PVC versions. LIGHT skins fold smaller too.

Spray decks are also made in TPU for the LIGHT's.

With the Smart PRO S LIGHT, you have the choice of opting for a LIGHT frame for further weight reduction or retain the stronger and stiffer standard frame.

Colours
Boat skin
Rafts have two main areas / sections - the hull and the inflatable tube, the Valkure / Alu Series kayaks have two - hull and the decks, the SMART / Smart PRO Series kayaks have three - hull, inflatable sponsons, and decks. The different areas / sections all use different types / weights of PVC or TPU and hence have respective limited colour ranges. Please note that for the "same" colour, the colours do not exactly match in colour tone across the different fabrics.
The default colour of the hulls is black, with light grey (cream coloured) being a special request.

Valkure and Alu Series kayaks uses single sided PVC for the decks, the SMART's / PRO's uses double sided PVC / TPU for the inflatable sponsons and decks. On special request to have a special colour combination kayak, the SMART / PRO's can have single sided PVC for the decks which would be in a different colour to the inflatable sponsons (EG the Ukrainian colour scheme "Peremoga" of blue / yellow.

SMART / Smart PRO, Packrafts - PVC - Red, Orange, Blue, Green, Black, Light Grey
SMART / Smart PRO, Packrafts - TPU - subject to availability
Valkure / ALU Series - PVC - Red, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Dark Grey, Olive / Khaki / Dark Green (check for availability)

Spray decks for all boats - default colour is black. Special request can be in any available colour (no extra cost). Those concerned about visibility by others if choosing a dark coloured boat (EG black or green) can opt for an orange spray deck to use when off-shore paddling.

Accessories (EG dry bags) - default is made in two colours, black for the side panels and the main colour is in any available colour, usually matching the main colour of the boat. Otherwise any colour combination can be requested, with some bags being made in high visibility colours to act as emergency beacons should that need arises. Note that with TPU items, we cannot guarantee same colours again later if the TPU fabric stock runs out.

Sail rigs - made on request by a master sail maker, inquire as to possible available colours

Spray decks
For most of the mid length kayaks, both single and tandem version spray decks are available - these kayaks already have the required seat fittings to work in either role as standard. Also, there are spray deck versions with smaller "Loading hatches" in different configurations available.

Single seater spray decks can have no loading hatch, loading hatch at front, loading hatch at rear, or loading hatch both front and rear.

Single & Tandem version spray decks are available for SMART-1, SMART-2, Smart PRO S, Smart PRO, Valkure-2, ALU-2.

Cockpit sizes - Standard and Small (Loading hatch or for very small children). At optional extra request, you can substitute STD sized cockpits with XL cockpits with XL waist skirts & cockpit covers - ideal for very tall paddlers or for those with knee / leg issues. Note that there may be restrictions with adding on loading hatches together with XL cockpits due to available spaces to position to squeeze in loading hatches. You could forfeit the mesh pocket/s..

Colours - default spray deck colour is black. For extra visibility with a dark boat or to create an unique colourful boat, spray decks in a different colour can be requested.

BORIKA Universal mounts
Only the Smart PRO Series kayaks / canoes are fitted with a single BORIKA starter mini base mount on the right hand of the rear deck, as standard. These mounts together with the optional extra BORIKA universal socket allows you to plug in various accessories such as holders / poles for GoPro cameras, fishing rods, etc.
