NERIS Valkure-2 double seater folding kayak - lightweight and easily transportable in two bags, start a paddling or sailing trip through a location that would have been inaccessible or difficult to access if a hard-shell kayak had been used.
NERIS Valkure Series two seater. UK's most popular selling kayak. This kayak can also be used as a single seater by simply fitting one of the seats in the central position, creating a huge amount of easily accessible internal storage space for extended camping expeditions. A 'solo paddler' version spray-deck is also available to purchase. The sail rig is optional extra.
Kayak comes with a backpack and a long 'shoulder' carry bag.
NERIS Alu-2 double seater folding kayak - this versatile kayak can be used as a double seater with space for a small child, or optionally as a single seater. Comes packed in a single large backpack - you can easily invite a friend to join you on your paddles.
NERIS Alu Series double seater. Packs into one backpack bag. Assembled as a normal double seater, the two seats are positioned further apart (compared to other brand kayaks), which provides an easily accessible central storage space that can be used to store kit. The standard 2 paddler spray-deck cover has an extra central cockpit hole which serves as an access hatch. This storage space can alternatively be used as an third seat positioned for a small child - optionally purchase an extra seat, or even as a solo paddler sitting position using an existing seat. Although this Alu-2 is shorter than the Valkure-2, the Alu-2 has a longer open cockpit and shorter front and rear decks.
NERIS Valkure-3 triple seater folding kayak - a fun kayak designed for three adults or as a two seater with a huge centralised storage space.
NERIS Valkure Series triple seater. Comes with a backpack and a long 'shoulder' carry bag. Complete with 3 seats and a rear cargo storage space in front of the rear paddler. Optionally purchase an extra seat to create a 4 seater (2 adults & 2 small children).

NERIS Alu Series triple seater. Comes with a backpack and a long 'shoulder' carry bag. The 3rd seat from the front is the optional extra seat - without this seat assembled, this space becomes the cargo space. Purchasing a separate Alu-1 or Alu-2 skin (Transformer Kit), you can use parts of this Alu-3 frame to make a smaller kayak for occasions when you prefer to use a smaller boat.
COMING SOON - NERIS Smart double seater hybrid foldable kayak - testing under extreme conditions on the icy Dnieper River at Kiev, Ukraine
A new hybrid concept - a cross between a folding kayak and an inflatable kayak. This kayak has a partial frame - an alu keel and cross ribs, with the skin just like the NERIS Alu / Valkure Series folding kayaks but with inflatable side-walls. The hull is the same as on the folding kayaks - no inflatable floors as commonly made on inflatable kayaks. Assembly is quick - 10 minutes! This hybrid paddles faster than typical inflatable kayaks, and is more stable than folding kayaks.
500cm long, 90cm wide & weighs 22-23 kg.
