Playful with long range expedition features
The Skim Beaufort is a serious seaworthy kayak that combines a playful character with long range expedition features. Fully loaded the Beaufort will still be a stable easy maneuverable kayak with high cruising speeds. By using the newest design technologies the Skim team has been able to find the ultimate balance between play and expedition a combination that has long been thought of as impossible.
Beaufort is like all Skim Kayaks build with the best material and components on the market and of superior quality and finish.
The Skim Beaufort is outfitted with the new and revolutionary Kayak-Sport paddle outrigger system, which is setting a new standard in safety components.
