Endurance K1
An intermediate racing kayak specifically built for South African rivers, aimed at paddlers moving into racing or wanting a more stable race boat. Keeps the Maverick K1's sleek profile but with slightly more volume and width, adding secondary stability with little speed penalty — initial testing showed it leans toward the faster end of "intermediate". Suits paddlers stepping down from pro boats, moving up from stable intermediate boats, or wanting river speed with extra comfort/stability. First launched December 2024.
