We pride ourselves in having a range to deliver kayaks that will perform for every paddler. The excel has the same great design as the much loved and trusted Romany Surf but it has been expanded in all dimensions. An ideal kayak for the 16+ stones (102+ kilograms) person. The kayak has a larger and wider keyhole cockpit and offers extra leg room due to a raised area either side of the cockpit. Tailored with a hull design that excels in stability, this kayak features a specially shaped foredeck that accommodates larger feet up to size 12/13 UK. Distinguished from the Romany Classic range by its boxy hull profile for enhanced stability, the Romany Excel offers a secure and connected feel on the waves.
The kayak is fitted with the large High-performance seat, unless otherwise requested. Can also be provided with the foam or bucket seat options.
Jeff Atkins of Wave Paddler is an ACA L -5 Coach in the USA and a huge fan of both the Romany Excel and Romany Excel Expedition. Check out his article ‘Kayaks for larger paddlers, Romany Excel, or Excel Expedition? Kayak Dilemma!’
Also available in a Expedition and Surf versions.
