The Osprey (formerly the S18S G2/EXP) is a versatile 18-foot surfski redesigned to eliminate naming confusion while boosting performance. It remains compliant with USCA fast sea kayak regulations while offering a faster, more efficient ride. Key Improvements: Enhanced Speed: Features larger cut-aways and a narrower bow than the G1 model. Refined Hull: A tweaked rocker profile and optimized trim improve wave-catching and paddling efficiency without sacrificing stability. Premium Fittings: Includes a DeBrito bailer for rapid drainage, carbon handles, and a large stern hatch. Standard features like dual rudder fittings (under-stern/over-stern), deck bungees, and a water bottle holder make it a comprehensive, high-speed addition to any paddler's fleet.
