The Telkwa ("where waters meet") came about as a collaboration between a boat designer (Steve Schleicher) and CVK's very own Don Lockwood. The result is a kayak which paddles well, looks pleasing and which has quickly become our most popular model. The Telkwa is a long, high-volume kayak, but it is surprisingly nimble for its size and suits a wide variety of paddlers. The Telkwa was designed to be a full fledged ocean touring kayak capable of doing unsupported trips of at least a couple weeks duration. It will carry you and your gear to all parts of our coast with ease. The Telkwa with its unique combination of tracking and turning make it an excellent choice for long distance touring or day tripping following the coast line closely.
