Designed for big whitewater, the Innova K1 is a rugged single kayak. The K1 features excellent paddler control through a combination of backrests, footrests, and thighstraps. High-pressure tube construction reduces flexing in big waves, and the large self-bailing holes keep the kayak light and nimble when you need it. Made of 1,200-denier Nitrylon and Mirasol fabrics, the K1 is an expedition-quality boat.

 What is Nitrylon™ fabric, and how is it different from PVC?

Nitrylon™ is a lamination of nitrile synthetic rubber and natural rubber over a 1,200-denier, low stretch polyester fabric. Nitrylon™ is very puncture and abrasion resistant. It is considerably stronger, easier to patch, performs better in cold weather, and is much more abrasion resistant than PVC. Some of our models, the K1, K2, and Seakers, use polyester reinforced PVC (Mirasol ™) for the side chambers. Mirasol™ has better structural stiffness for long tubes than Nitrylon™.
