BORÉALDESIGN Kayak innovations

Reverse hard chineThe reverse hard chine is an exclusive feature on many of our kayaks. Such chines optimise the surface contact with the water, imparting exceptional secondary stability and enhancing manoeuvrability while on a lean. The reverse hard chine is responsible in part for the success and popularity of our Baffi n and Ellesmere models.

BORÉALDESIGN WarrantyKayaksKayaks are guaranteed for two years from the date of purchase. The warranty covers parts and labour to correct material or manufacturing defects. The warranty is transferable and does not cover damages caused by improper use, negligence or damages sustained during transport.

PaddlesBORÉALDESIGN offers the initial purchaser a complete two-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty is non-transferable.

“Try Before You Buy” Program

In order to help you make the most sensible choice, some of our dealers offer the opportunity to try several models of BORÉALDESIGN kayaks. Simply refer to our website for a complete list of participating dealers, demo kayaks, demo days and schedules.

Take the time to try several of our models. A simple detail can make all the difference !

Respectful of the environmentBORÉALDESIGN is an eco-responsible company. When producing our kayaks we apply many measure meant to preserve the environment. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve and make our production greener.

100 % Rubber hatch lidBORÉALDESIGN is proud to offer you 100 % rubber hatch lids. This material allows the lids to stay fl exible even in cold temperature and offers greater watertightness.

Unique skeg systemRemarkably simple to use, our skeg system is controled with a dial graded from 0 to 5 which corresponds to angles of 0 to 50 degrees. The skeg box is designed to optimize the storage space in the rear compartment.

Rudder system with Spectra® cordThe Spectra® cord, which is very resistant to breakage, has many advantages over stainless cables : it’s light, quiet, and diminishes friction. The use of the Spectra® rope decreases corrosion hazards, as well as time and fees associated with the maintenance of your kayak.

Faultless fi nishUndeniable qualityThe brilliant and impeccable fi nish of BORÉALDESIGN kayaks is attributed to two important elements : The high quality of materials used in our construction and the great care and attention to detail our passionate team brings forth. All of our kayaks, as well as our moulds, are carefully fabricated, inspected and painstakingly maintained. That is why you can appreciate and trust a BORÉALDESIGN kayak.
