Necky Looksha V-Outfitter

Aggressive paddlers will appreciate the Necky Looksha’s response, especially in rough conditions. Built for speed and touring, this kayak features an ample cockpit with easy access to sealed bow and stern hatches. In fact, these are the largest hatches ever made by Necky so there’s plenty of room on board despite its sleek design. Kayakers perch on a molded seat pad and can deploy the built-in rudder when conditions warrant. The Necky Looksha boasts excellent secondary stability for beginners but packs plenty of power for experienced boaters who have only one kayak. Backed by a full three-year warranty, the Necky Looksha is suited for the beatings doled out during long touring trips.

Boaters love the Looksha’s ability and responsiveness in hull-crashing waves and say the craft’s strengths are flat-water speed and choppy-water control. Smaller paddlers say the boat has excellent responsiveness even in rough, choppy water and are surprised at the boat’s overall maneuverability. Others day its roomy cockpit makes shifting and manipulating the boat a breeze. The kayak turns on a dime and is well-suited for the fearless kayaker who likes to take a few ‘breaks’ along the way and has been described as a one-size-fits-all type of boat.
