Nordic Kayak's intention with the Double 670 was for a skilled paddler to be able to provide any beginner with the opportunity to experinece downwind paddling. The 670 comes standard with double steering so you can choose to steer either from front or back, or both the same time, which actually works surprisingly well. The shorter hull length combined with a lot of rocker ensures for an extremely manoeuvrabilityand responsive double ski.
 
The construction process- all NK skis are now made with autoclave and prepreg technique, a process often reserved for the aerospace industry and F1 cars. The high pressure (up to 4 x atmospheric pressure) and heat from the autoclave ensure the pre-impregnated fibres bond perfectly with the composite core creating a extra ordinary light but strong construction. This process is far superior to other techniques normally used for kayaks such as vacuum infusion or other hand lay up processes.
 
Some of the benefits of carbon fibre prepreg autoclaved composites are:
zero voids - reduce possibility of delaminations and air bubble related issues
improved ability to conform cores and fabrics to tight curvatures in-mold; again less chance of voids and weak spots
excellent fatigue resistance
controlled laminate thickness
 
In short our skis are lighter, stiffer and stronger than ever. With a polyurethane painted seamless finish to match, the line between sports equipment and a work of art may have been crossed. This double ski has been manufactured at under 13kg in the CarbonX construction.
