Stellar’s 16 foot Kingfisher is an intermediate sit-on-top and the 2nd generation of their popular S16S. The Kingfisher has an updated cockpit with a comfortable and ergonomic seat with a footwell that will fit both short and tall paddlers. Increased beam will make about any paddler able to paddle this boat and the modified rocker makes it easier to handle waves and to manoeuvre. The surprising speed of this hull will keep you competitive in your paddling group or a race.
Can be pre-ordered in most colour combinations with a stripe free of charge. Select a custom colour and let us know what you’re after and we’ll confirm it for you.
