The LV kayaks have been fitted with a new Keyhole cockpit rim customised to fit smaller kayakers. The rim is 3.5" (87mm) shorter than the standard and 1" (25mm) narrower with the leg braces brought back towards the paddler. All kayaks have less volume and a re-designed front deck.

Explorer fills the niche for a sleek, yet stable expedition kayak. This kayak has a long waterline, is very fast, and yet maneuverable. It carves turns gracefully. Explorer tracks well even in an adverse conditions and for long expeditions it could be equipped with VCP skeg. Its high volume bow stops the kayak from plunging into waves and together with its maneuverability allows good control in surf. The kayak is built standard with three bulkheads and three watertight hatches (two 10 “ and one 7.5” round).
