New 2018 Santa Cruz Raptor Kayak G1 made in Bellingham WA Made in U.S.A. !

The Raptor’s uniquely shaped bow is designed to shred waves, deflect spray, yet still maintains a low profile reducing the effects of windage

Though comparable in weight, its width, measured along the seat section, is much narrower. This allows for easy paddle strokes and it’s easy on the knuckles too.

The rear is where there is the biggest difference. The catamaran-style pontoons provide a level of stability that is unparalleled. Stability that allows you to stand up and move about the boat freely. Stability that only the Raptor can provide.

The pontoons also help to shield the rudder from any rocks or bumps you may accidentally encounter. The stiff keels are the thickest area since they take the most abuse. You can store the Raptor on any cross rack without worry about deformation.

When you compare the Raptor to other kayaks it’s easy to see – there is no comparison – it’s in a class by itself.

Inherent in the Raptor design is a special wave breaking bow that displaces water and weight by splitting it into two aft stabilizing wave tracks. Now, this creation of two separate axis and two separate fulcrums consistently encourages the vessel to return to it’s former position when weight is shifted from one axis-roll to another. IE: As weight shifts to one fulcrum, the vessel discourages a potential role because the apposing fulcrum is sharing it’s common end-point at the bow–summoning the vessel back to it’s gravitational connection with the water–rather than giving it permission to roll.
