Current Designs Prana Touring Kayak

Speed, Stability, and Playfulness in One Sleek Design

The Prana, a collaboration between Danish designer Jesper Kromann-Andersen and the award-winning Current Designs team, blends efficiency, control, and fun into one remarkable 17-foot touring kayak. Its 21-inch beam and Swede form hull deliver surprising stability for beginners while leaving room to grow as skills advance. Whether it’s a long coastal journey, rolling practice, or wave play, the Prana adapts with grace. Available in fiberglass and Kevlar layups, plus a Low Volume (LV) option for smaller paddlers, this kayak proves you don’t have to compromise between speed and maneuverability.
