Product Description

Current Designs Karla Touring Kayak

A Playful Powerhouse for Surf and Beyond

Meet the Karla—the lively sibling in the Current Designs family, born from the third collaboration with Danish designer Jesper Kromann-Andersen. Shorter and narrower than the Sisu, the Karla packs added bow volume for confidence against pearling and surf-zone fun. From first-time wave riders to seasoned sea veterans, this kayak delivers playfulness, stability, and control without compromise.

Benefits

Ride the Waves, Not the Struggle – Designed for nimbleness, carving, and surf play, the Karla thrives where water gets wild.
Confidence for All Skill Levels – Friendly enough for new paddlers, dynamic enough to keep experts entertained.
Spacious Comfort – The roomy keyhole cockpit makes entry and exit simple—even when conditions get spicy.
Custom Fit Options – Available in standard volume or low volume (LV) to match your height, weight, and paddling style.
Durable & Lightweight – Choose between fiberglass (52 lbs.) or aramid Kevlar (49 lbs.) constructions for strength without the bulk.

Features

Composite seam for sleek strength
Retractable skeg for improved tracking and handling
Composite color options for a polished finish
Keyhole cockpit with integrated thigh braces for control and comfort
Back band support for long-haul comfort
Available in Standard Volume (SV) and Low Volume (LV)
