SKUK Latitude

After creating the Pilgrim and Pilgrim Expedition we received incredible feedback from paddlers that had previously been forced to use kayaks too large for their stature. We began to notice a group of paddlers too small for our original models yet too big for the Pilgrim range. Out of this realisation the Latitude was born and it has since developed a huge following of its own.

Building on the success of the Pilgrim Expedition design the Latitude has a slightly longer stern to prevent the stern squatting during forward propulsion, the keyhole cockpit is longer and the foredeck higher to create more room for long legs accessing and egressing the cockpit.

It has extended knee bumps so the lighter paddler can move the seat forwards, or the taller paddler has enough room for their knees.
