Bylgja Carbon Description
BYLGJA
The Bylgja by Norse Kayaks is a hard chined kayak, the larger counterpart to the Idun. With a pronounced rocker and hard chines this kayak is a joy to paddle, whether on a calm day trip, or multi-day excursions in choppy seas. The Bylgja excels in rough seas: tackle tide rapids, surf, and swell with great control. The vacuum infused composite hull features aramid reinforcement along the chines and keel, offering excellent strength in a lightweight package. The day hatch behind the cockpit as well as the front deck pod offer great opportunities to keep those on the water essentials close at hand.
FEATURES
Hand Toggles: Mounted with robust cord the hand toggles provide exceptional comfort while carrying the kayak.
Compass Recess: Designed to accommodate common deck compasses (sold separately).
Cargo Hatches: Kayak-Sport rubber hatches offer easy access and dependable water resistance.

Perimeter Lines: Stout lines at bow and stern allows for easy grasping of the kayak while doing rescues.
Recessed Deck Fittings: Deck line hardware recessed to reduce snagging while keeping the lines easy to access.
Retractable Skeg: The skeg deployment system enables enormous adjustment to keep on track in any weather conditions.
