Review of the Tootega Kinetic 100 Hydrolite 18kg, sit on top, solid kayak from AS Watersports

Perfectly bridging the gap between touring and beach play, the Kinetic gives you the freedom to explore the water however you want. The new hybrid 'c' hull blends the best attributes of the dynamic and exciting Pulse models with the graceful glide, increased paddling efficiency, and versatile storage options found in Tootegas Prophecy touring range. The Kinetic 100 has been designed to work in harmony with a new skeg system, which is fully adjustable, allowing you to find that perfect balance between manoeuvrability or straight line tracking for you and the water you are paddling on. With huge amounts of storage for a kayak of it’s size, and complete with new low-profile anchor points for backrests and thigh-straps, the Kinetic is that elusive 10ft kayak, that can tour, play in the surf, work as an inland/near shore fishing platform, and yet still remain lightweight and stable. The Hydrolite Edition brings the pinnacle of advanced, lightweight, polyethylene construction to our flagship Kinetic 100 design, creating a superior kayak which handles better both on and off the water. By carefully optimising our mould tools, our production cycles, our materials and our cooling process we have been able to shave nearly 20% from the weights of our standard Kinetic 100: a design which perfectly bridges the gap between touring and beach play, giving you the freedom to explore the water however you want. Key design features of our standard Kinetic 100 are retained, including our new hybrid 'c' hull form and our innovative new, fully adjustable skeg system. The Hydrolite Edition also retains the huge amounts of storage, low-profile anchor points for backrests and thigh-straps to give you a superior kayak for touring, playing in the surf or use as an inland/near-shore fishing platform.
