Skim Differ MKII
The Differ MKII is a sporty kayak for advanced paddlers. It allows for close boat contact but leaves room to bend your legs a bit. In this iteration of the Differ, the deck forward of the cockpit has been raised slightly to allow for this. Nevertheless, it remains a slim kayak that allows a high cruising speed and can be rolled very well due to the overall flat structure.
The Differ MKII is a slim, fast sea kayak with space for luggage and due to the Flat design yet small surface exposed to wind. It features a flat rocker, which makes it ideal for long distances. We recommend it as a fast, sporty tourer for day trips or weekend trips.
