Finally a Kayak built for the Smaller Paddler
Ice Kap - A Touring Kayak that also has good Play Boat characteristics
Why we designed the "Ice Kap" standard model
Sterling calls the Ice Kap "The Equalizer".
A small framed person paddling a regular sized kayak often has difficulty keeping pace with their group or paddling partner. The cause: being in a kayak that is too big for their build, arms held high to clear the deck and combing, a loose fit that leads to lack of control and edging ability and generally just too much boat to push through the water. The Ice Kap is an extremely high performance kayak with a skeg. Built with Sterling's strong-lite construction technique from quality materials, this creates a kayak that weighs from 32-42 lbs. depending on the lay-up chosen. The Ice Kap is stable, very easy to control with boat lean and paddle strokes and a perfect fit for a lean or small framed paddler.
With skeg deployed it will even hold course in rear quartering seas and if you like to surf it can be surfed forward and backwards!
Perfect combination of speed and maneuverability makes it perfect for:
Great for a day paddle but will also carry enough for weekend camping and lightweight extended trips!
There isn't another kayak on the market that comes close to the appropriate fit and performance the Ice Kap will deliver to the small framed paddler.
