About the Nighthawk 16 /
View Our Kayak Comparison Chart
The Night Hawk is one of the most graceful birds on the wing. Light, sleek and nimble, the Night Hawk 16 moves through the water with ease and carves turns with a slight lean. The moderate initial stability transitions to a solid secondary as you lean with no surprises in store. This kayak invites you to expand your paddling skills and rewards you for doing so. The retractable skeg expands the range of performance of the hull. Incremental deployment of the skeg will neutral the effects of wind and waves allowing you to focus on where you are going. Rigged for open water, this slim, sporty kayak can haul enough gear for a trip of several days.

I never thought I'd give a 10 in a review, but this boat demands it. Unlike many sea kayaks, this is not a Greenland or British design, so it has a different feel. It's an all-American, Pacific NW des... Read the full testimonial

"Loved my Merlin LT and couldn't imagine anything better. But the Nighthawk is! The sleeker profile is more fun to turn, and the skeg makes it track like a much longer boat. Light weight makes loading... Read the full testimonial
