Comfort, speed and traditional Greenland lines
The Greenlander was designed for comfort and speed, with a sleek appearance based on traditional Greenland kayak lines. It is hard chined, has a rounded angled ocean cockpit sloping down to an almost flat rear deck. The hull has a single chine, the front deck has three chines running into one, which then runs to the bow. Day hatch and bulkhead are available as an optional extra.
Greenlander Pro & Greenlander Race options
Greenlander Pro
The Greenlander Pro has the same features as the Greenlander but comes with a keyhole cockpit. It's 50mm longer with a straighter rocker line and is the fastest kayak in the SKUK fleet. As with the Greenlander, it was designed for comfort and speed, with the same sleek appearance based on traditional Greenland kayak lines.
Greenlander Race
This kayak is designed for open ocean racing and as a faster expedition / touring kayak primarily for flat to intermediate conditions. It behaves well in the wind but is regarded as an advanced kayak in rough conditions. We recommend the Kari-Tek Skeg Rudder System® as an option with this kayak (see below right).

SKUK kayaks are fitted with a skeg which counteracts the kayak’s tendency to turn towards the wind - to weather-cock. SKUK’s skeg systems, developed in conjunction with Kari-Tek, use a robust skeg box made from durable ABS plastic. It’s moulded in one piece, making it watertight, and it has a large dagger-board shaped blade which drops further into the water thus increasing performance.
Three types of skeg are available in your new SKUK kayak: click here for details.
- Hydro Skeg® - heightened reliability, increased levels of control, less prone to damage, virtually maintenance free
- Wire Skeg - positive, easy action, simple to use slider. A wire skeg is fitted as standard.
- Rope Skeg - the simple, low cost option
Skeg Rudder System
The new Kari-Tek Skeg Rudder System (SRS) is now available. Both a skeg and an understern rudder, the SRS gives you maximum flexibility. With all the great features of the Hydro Skeg® plus the benefits of a rudder, the SRS is set to change kayak rudders for ever. Click here for details.
