Kristin Nelson paddles Nigel Foster Silhouette sea kayak

Sleek, slender, speedy and seductive, the Silhouette is a great choice for Greenland skills and for effortless cruising for the smaller paddler. (more than once the winner in its class in Florida Everglades Challenge race).

Standing on the back deck of the Silhouette is regarded by some as tricky. It takes practice, good attitude and a ready smile!
