No, the VIK 3.8 PRO impresses with its well-thought-out keel shape, which offers a balanced mix of directional stability, primary stability, and secondary stability. This makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers. What influences the stability of the kayak? The tipping stability depends on several factors: ✔ Sitting posture: An upright posture with slightly bent legs and secure contact with the footrest improves control. ✔ Paddling technique: The kayak is best paddled from the hips. An active posture ensures greater stability and safety on the water. ✔ Weight distribution & loading: An even distribution of body weight and luggage contributes to optimal balance. 💡Our tip: After boarding, sit as far into the kayak seat as possible until you find a stable, comfortable position. This way, you'll be secure and have full control. 👉 Try it yourself! Want to see the VIK 3.8 PRO in action? Schedule a test drive in Berlin and see for yourself. ➡️ Book an appointment now
