Kevlar Valley Avocet Review. I have used many boats over the years.
APN 160410006. Since I grew up on an old-style Nordkapp, the primary stability of the Avocet is rock solid by comparison. It handles very responsively; I am 5'6", 125 lbs, and this boat feels like an extension of myself, edging, turning and rolling with ease. 1.

Hi Mike,I'm working on a bigger project over the fall and winter for the BaffinPaddler. Already tagged. Valley website wgt. Wow! I have a tempest also. Did I mention it edges well? Paddling the Valley Nordkapp RM between Beaver and Garden Islands. Not too shabby on a multi-day trip either--both in terms of load carrying capacity and cruising speed. Must be fast enough to keep up with others (I use a greenland paddle and easily keep - sometimes having to slow down - although I do paddle with a quick cadence). You are right - a well-fitting boat (in cockpit fit as well as volume) will be a LOT more fun to paddle. I think it's good to mix boats up. But it's a quite different personality than my expedition boat, which is why I like having it. They make an Avocet LV that seems to be popular out here with the slighter built women. Nice review.

D: 11.5 in I am 6', about 180lbs, 32" waist, 33" inseam and have gone on a 4-night camping trip in this boat comfortably. They’re all good. Most of my paddling these days is just playing around, so my Avocet is a good match. The hatches are a job to put on, but knowing that your hatches are completely water tight makes it worth the effort.
I think for a intermittent or advance paddler who is fit would adore this boat. It was well balanced in the wind, especially with the retractable skeg deployed. outstanding choice for smaller paddler... "a dancer", maneuverable, steady, slender. This is a rare kayak and if you ever see one come up for sale, grab it because you'll not see it again for a very long time. Get your bug suit on!
but the seat pan? Put it on an edge, and you can easily spin it like a top! The Avocet LV would be sweet for someone your size.

It has a bit more room in it, which is great for long trips, but most of my paddling is for the day. I wouldn’t be able to pack anything otherwise I’d be below sea level with a snorkel.
