The Bahiya is an efficient, nimble, responsive and a lot of fun in a following sea. For intermediate paddlers and above, between 140-200 lb. The Bahiya has a snug fit and narrow beam

Characteristics will appeal to a kayaker that likes a VCP Anas Acuta, but with more speed.

User Input: Tracks very well but you trade maneuverability. Responds reasonably well to aggressive edging. comparable to NDK Greenlander and CD Caribou. BV

P&H Kayaks says: Although the Bahiya is one of P&H's most recent designs, it is aimed squarely at the sea kayaking traditionalists. Low sleek lines ensure the minimum of windage, the distinctive chines and a snug fit means that the kayak responds to every lean whilst its narrow beam ensures it slips effortlessly through the water.

Certainly not a kayak for the beginner, the Bahiya is best suited to experienced paddlers looking for a rewarding kayak to paddle or the enthusiastic intermediate looking for one to stretch them and keep them progressing along a learning curve.
