Artisan Millennium exp.


The Artisan is a kayak with a great history, it has become a Finnish legend worldwide.
It is a true beauty of British style kayaks with Scandinavian design with fast and light fish form hull and deck construction. Hull is gently sloping v to get light and predictable behaviour in rough sea. It carries easily equipment for one week or longer expeditions and easy loading is significant benefit compared the other kayaks.
The Artisan is an ideal choice for medium- and large sized paddlers with intermediate or advance experience for varied expeditions. The Artisan is easy and smooth to steer with body. It responds perfectly to edged turns without extra efforts and it tracks easily in rough seas. It has a retractable plastic skeg which cuts out the wind effects in any circumstances retaining the controlling features whether you paddle with or without load.
You can start the paddling hobby with the Artisan as long as you keep the eye on the weather conditions where you get into. But you get most of it when you are able to use advanced paddling techniques like leaning, surfing and supporting strokes in rough seas. The Artisan is an excellent kayak to learn and train these skills.
"Sea Kayaker: Flawless finish. Very comfortable seat & backrest. Loaded or empty, the kayak responds very well to edged turns, sweeping, drawing and Duffek strokes. This boat was really built to track. I really enjoyed paddling this kayak"
