The Greenlander is a high performance kayak in true Inuit tradition. This sleek kayak with hard chine profile and relatively small rocker should appeal to kayakers who love traditional designs that have considerable speed and seaworthiness. The Greenlander is a very fast and seaworthy kayak which can quite easily fit even larger paddlers. The day hatch is optional.

It's designed with an ocean size (round) angled cockpit radically sloped down to the rear deck. While the cockpit is small, the slope of it allows easy entry and exit. It does take a few days to get used to the feeling of this cockpit, but after that, all other cockpits feel too large.

NDK says: The Greenlander is designed along traditional Inuit lines. The kayak is a low volume fast kayak. Ideal for the small to medium sized kayaker.

In 2000 the kayak was used on an expedition to Greenland. The local hunters have since purchased three of these kayaks for hunting purposes.
