Goodbye snow, hello summer sports! It may only be spring but lets be real, everyone always jumps the gun and starts their summer obsessions as soon as they can. Like kayaking for instance. That’s why I am going to introduce you to the coolest kayak yet and you guessed it, it’s carbon fiber!
The Project 54cx Limited Edition carbon fiber kayak from Wave Sport is a sleek and modern kayak. Each is hand-crafted and individually numbered, as it was only produced in a limited batch of 50, and that’s worldwide!
Some fancy features of the kayak include a lightweight carbon kevlar hull, a carbon fiberglass adjustable seat, lightweight carbon fiberglass adjustable leg lifter, improved thigh brace and hip pads and an adjustable backband. The entire kayak weighs just 20 pounds and is about 6′ 2″ in length.
“Every paddle stroke feels effortless to propel the boat forward due to its ultralight weight. This transfers into moves while surfing a wave, hole, or running a rapid. Hand crafted, layer by layer to achieve rigidity and durability in exactly the right places, the end result is a very light and stiff boat with exceptional performance and impact resistance.”
Unfortunately since this project was headed in 2009, there are no more for sale. If you want one, you’ll have to get it used…or you can just drool at the pictures like we are. Â They were retailing for $2,500 before they sold out.
