Eliza™ Composite with Rudder

Named after an island in Washington State’s San Juan Islands, the Eliza feels so good you never want to get out of it. Its compact cockpit makes you feel secure and firmly in control. And its balance of maneuverability and reduced drag will help you keep up with the guys. Or just plain leave them behind. Ideal for day tripping, the fifteen foot long Eliza with rudder is perfect for female paddlers of all skill levels. Available in fiberglass or carbon. Polymer and skeg composite models also available.

Features:

  • Necky Touring Seat with backband

     

    Necky Touring Seat

    Made of durable molded foam, this seat is designed specifically to reduce pressure on your sciatic nerve. By actually improving flow around the gluteus maximus, it helps prevent your feet and legs from falling asleep when you're paddling longer distances. For added comfort, the seat does not retain water. It also features an integral tether that attaches to the seat of the boat, keeping it in place when car-topping. The supportive back band provides ample lumbar support, movement and comfort for most body types. Many of our touring kayaks feature this seat.

  • Bow and stern hatches with Cross Lock™ buckle system and bulkheads

    Cross Lock™ Buckle System

    The Cross Lock buckle system is a unique strapping and hatch system. The "X" pattern is achieved with four straps and one quick release buckle. The low anchor points of the straps allow for excellent pressure that is evenly distributed around the hatch cover. Simple, secure and easy to use.  

    Cross Lock Buckle System 

  • Extremely lightweight
  • Ergonomically designed cockpit geared for a small to medium female frame
  • Reflective safety perimeter line
  • Rudder System with adjustable foot pedals

    Necky Rudder

    The aluminum alloy used in our standard rudder can take lots of abuse, bending, and rebending before it breaks. With some care this aluminum rudder should last a lifetime. When deployed you use the foot pedals to guide the kayak to the right or the left. A rudder is used for keeping your boat on track, especially when the weather conditions change. It can help make your journey safer and more enjoyable.
