This is a no compromise kayak that has all the speed of a top flight K1 with superior ease of handling.
The Alchemist is good for paddlers above 80 kg and we also have a small version called the Alchemist SV for paddlers under 60 Kg and a mid-sized model, the Alchemist MV, for 55 to 85 Kg.
We also have a wild water version with a high front deck and keyhole style cockpit with knee grips and high deck K1 cockpit river racing model.
Originally designed as a master’s kayak by Jan Horak its outright speed has seen it gain acceptance across all ages, genders and disciplines.
Fast and stable? Not magic but alchemy! Science turning sweat into gold.
