TRIUMPH 13

The Triumph is a breath of fresh air to the sit-on-top world.

Proving that performance is not something only offered in a sit-inside kayak. Evolved from the touring line, it is speedier and easier to paddle than other sit-on-top kayaks. Added adaptable versatility with moulded-in features, a child can also tag along too in this not-so single kayak for a smooth-cruising trip on the water. 

"Best Beginner Kayak : Flatwater" - OutsideOnline, June 2012 

With a distinct hull chine and an upswept flared bow, the Triumph 13 will cut through chop and deliver a stable and predictable ride. Impressive glide and top speed makes forward paddling efficient whilst the highly manoeuvrable and stable hull delivers a versatile and forgiving craft. 

Modern outfitting is incorporated into the design with many moulded-in features such as their iconic side carry handles, footrests, large stowage recess, child seat, and even a mug holder. The large oval front hatch and easy to reach centre hatch add plenty of storage options and allow for overnight kit. 

Designed to perform efficiently in the ocean swell, surf zone, coastal waters, estuaries, lakes and rivers; this kayak is ideal for anyone focused on performance but wanting the flexibility of a sit-on top kayak. It is great for casual touring and day tripping, a spot of fishing or for enjoying the outdoors. There's also room to take a young child along on the moulded in child seat.

This kayak has versatile performance in multiple water conditions:

Good in ocean surf, better in slow-moving waters (rivers and streams), but performs best in open oceans, calm coastal water and recreational areas (lakes and ponds).
