P&H Leo HV CLX Skeg

P&H Leo is a versatile, 3 hatch (4 hatch with optional bow mini hatch), cruising sea kayak with superb initial and progressive secondary stability, ample gear storage options, full deck lines and bungees, and an extremely comfortable cockpit with plenty of room to stretch your legs as you take on longer journeys or travel between play spots along a coastline.

At around 16′ in length, and drawing influence from the Scorpio and Virgo, the Leo fits neatly between the two in the P&H range to offer a boat which allows the paddler to explore all avenues of sea kayaking comfortably.

This kayak is made using P&H’s CoreLite X Optimal PE Construction – Using industry leading precision machinery, exclusively sourced and developed materials, and over 25 years of roto-moulding experience to produce the advanced sandwich layer construction which P&H call CoreLite X. This provides an excellent stiffness to weight ratio enhances the performance of hull designs, narrowing the gap in performance between polyethylene (Plastic) and composite (fibreglass/ carbon fibre etc.) kayaks, whilst keeping the price and durability plastic kayaks are known for.
