Volan 156, 158, 160 & 162 - Diolen, Carbon & Kevlar Options
The Volan is expertly crafted by P&H out of composite and designed for paddlers who want to make the most of their day and weekend adventures on the water. This kayak has just the right amount of bow volume and rocker to offer a dry ride through a variety of rougher conditions and to track smoothly and efficiently on flat water, making it ideal for long stretches of coastal exploration. When the journey calls for a bit more excitement, the Volan allows for effortless manoeuvrability, enabling you to swing around with ease when edged or carve gracefully into turns on swell or over-falls.
Featuring a compact 16-foot length, the Volan strikes an excellent balance between speed and stability, ensuring you can cover ground quickly while maintaining control. Its lightweight construction contributes to its nimble performance, making it manageable to handle both on and off the water. This makes car topping easier and its a welcome relief at the end of a long days paddling to have a light boat to carry. Whether you're navigating tranquil lakes or tackling playful waves, the Volan provides a comfortable and engaging experience for all skill levels.
With thoughtful design elements such as a low, ergonomically shaped rear deck which allows easy rolling and re-entry, with a paddle shaft recess for bracing during entry this kayak accommodates adventurers looking for both serenity and thrill, ensuring that the journey is as enjoyable as the destination. The Volan truly shines for those who embrace the freedom of the open water, making it an exceptional choice for any sea kayaking enthusiast, especially as it is one of the very few kayaks to be offered in 4 sizes. There is plenty of room in the 3 main hatches for expedition gear with a 4th mini hatch on the bow for those last minute necessities like gloves and a bar of chocolate!
Like all the P&H Composite range, the Volan is offered in a range of construction methods depending on whether you require maximum strength, minium weight or something in between. Please call our helpful staff at Brighton Canoes and we can help you choose the perfect kayak for your ocean play!
