The Gale was designed for smaller paddlers who still want big sea kayak performance. At 14' long and 21.5" wide it is a perfectly downsized sea kayak. It finally allows smaller paddlers, especially women, the ability to have a boat that gives them the fit they demand but the ability to keep up with even the heartiest group of paddlers. By keeping the rocker flat and the beam narrow, we have developed a short lightweight kayak with a very efficient hull. Outfitted with a round composite hatch in the front, and a large composite hatch in the rear, this boat has great overnight appeal. A retractable skeg is standard for the days when the weather just won't cooperate, and a 14-foot kayak can be affected with a strong beam wind. Built with the Impex philosophy of greater initial stability, this boat gives a very comfortable ride without sacrificing performance. Just because you need a small kayak doesn't mean you have lesser needs from your outfitting. No detail has been overlooked in this small package. The Gale is a more modesty priced, composite-hatch version of the always-popular Mystic.
