Galasport Slalom Kayak for Children - Anik
Recommended for weight up to 40kg.
Length 316 cm.
The Anik is perfect for those who have grown out of the DINO minikayak, but still haven’t reached the size of junior racers. ANIK was designed by Canadian coach, former olympian, Michael Holroyd. Mike succeeded in changing the rules in Canada for the youngsters under 14 years of age, so that they can paddle kayaks appropriate for their size, not having to follow strict ICF requirement using same-sized boats for all athletes accross the age spectrum. Based on the CAIIPI platform and slightly shrunk, we created ANIK at 316 cm in length and 57 cm in width. Not too many people know the name ANIK came from first two letters of Mike’s kids. Cockpit is about 4cm smaller compared to „senior“ boat, which makes regular sprayskirt fitting just fine and securely, when putting it on is slightly easier. Kayak perfectly suits kids ranging from 25 to 45 kg. Thanks to this design, younger lighter kids can learn faster and implement the moves and tricks that otherwise, due to their lighter and shorter bodies, they would be just dreaming about in a bigger boat. Maybe ANIK will help to raise new world champions.
