The Venture Kayaks Easky 15 has been paddled by us in varying conditions and we are able to fully recommend this kayak. Easky 15 covers a range of paddling from Recreational through to Day Touring, Weekending and beyond. Easky 15 has a fine entry bow and a chined hull and responds very well to being edged. Lift your left knee and the boat goes left, lift your right knee and the boat goes right. The Venture Kayaks Easky 15 has the best retractable skeg in its class, in fact the skeg is too good. It is adjustable up/down for the best combination. Minimal weather cocking in a quartering sea which is easily cancelled by edging and deploying the retractable skeg. Full skeg makes the boat difficult to turn and its position has a greater effect than a drop down skeg fitted in the stern. Good footrest, good cockpit configuration, stiff cockpit rim combine to make this a tiptop touring kayak. Easky is quick for a 15 footer and the paddler in the images is 6' 1" and 15 stone. Smaller paddlers would get a similar response from the hull as a larger paddler. The Easky 15 is Stable, safe and reliable, has a unique Patented Flip-Top backrest that allows you to flick from up to down position in a second, choosing between comfort and control. Fully adjustable footrest system which makes it easy to adjust to fit a range of paddler sizes, a Paddle park to keep your paddle close at hand while fishing, bird watching or taking photos & two hatches for those weekend camping trips.
