This new, fast, smart looking kayak supersedes the very popular Opus. The original Opus has been described as the 'best balance of speed and stability'. The new Firebolt is an advanced on that design and description. It has easier paddle entry, a finer 'cutting' bow, a lower foredeck and a wider rear deck for more secondary stability. All this makes the Firebolot faster and more stable in white water and less vulnerable to strong winds in open water. This user friendly kayak is suitable not only for the intermediate to advanced paddler, but also for the busy, keen 'Weekend Warrior'.
